Robert Irwin gets sweet birthday shoutout from girlfriend Rorie Buckey

Robert Irwin’s girlfriend Rorie Buckey gave a sweet shoutout to the young zookeeper marking his 20th birthday.

The niece of the late actor, Heath Ledger, took to her Instagram on the eve of her beau’s big day to pen a loving note for the conservationist alongside a reel of them posing together.

“Happy 20th Birthday to my partner in crime and best friend. I love you @robertirwinphotography [love letter emoji and sparkling star emoji],” Rorie wrote on her post.

It didn’t take long for the son of Steve Irwin to respond back, “Awww Rorie [heart emoji] thank you, I can’t wait to enter my 20th year with you!”

The adorable exchange came after the two lovebirds stepped out for Prince William’s 2023 Earthshot Prize in Singapore earlier this month.
