Robert Irwin and new girlfriend, Heath Ledgers niece Rorie Buckley, spotted on date

Robert Irwin has been spotted cosying up to his new girlfriend Rorie Buckley on a romantic day out in Queensland.

The nature photographer, 19, looked smitten with his date, who is from an equally famous Australian family, being the daughter of Heath Ledger’s sister Kate.

The pair were seen leaving a Grill’d restaurant with takeaway and then heading to the beach to cuddle and watch the sunset together late last month.

Robert and Rorie have plenty in common – both grew up in the public eye after suffering the devastating loss of a family member. 

Heath was at the top of his Hollywood career when he was found dead in January 2008 following an accidental prescription drug overdose.

 Like Rorie, Robert is familiar with loss as father Steve, known to the world as the ‘Crocodile Hunter’, died on September 4, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray. 

Steve is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi and son Robert – who was just two years old when his father passed away. 

Like Heath’s sister, Robert and the Irwin family have vowed to keep Steve’s memory alive through their conservationist work at Australia Zoo.
