Ever since Robert Irwin lifted the Mirrorball trophy on “Dancing With the Stars” Season 34 — a dramatic echo of his sister Bindi Irwin’s own win a decade ago — fans have started calling for one more name: his mom, Terri Irwin. Cinemablend+2inkl+2
Robert didn’t ignore those calls. In a recent interview, he admitted he even started a petition to get Terri on the show next. “I started this season, and she is firmly like, ‘Nope, I’m not doing it. That’s not for me,’” he said. But despite her refusal, Robert joked that he’s “gonna wear her down.” He added with a laugh: “Those dancing genes, I’m pretty darn sure they didn’t come from my dad… so I guess we got them from my mum.” People.com+27NEWS+2
Still — Terri seems unmoved for now. She turned down the idea, saying frankly that ballroom competition isn’t for her. People.com+1
Whether fans will ever get to see her twirl across the dance floor — only time will tell. For now, the “Irwin dynasty” remains at two proud Mirrorball winners, with Robert hopeful that maybe someday, there could be a third.
