Robert and his sister, Bindi, carry on their dad’s legacy through their work in conservation. The two are zoologists and TV celebrities. Both also work at Australia Zoo, owned by their mother, Terri Irwin. In addition to all of that, they travel around educating others about Australia's amazing wildlife. They are busy people!
As busy as 20-year-old Robert is, he makes time for his 3-year-old niece, Grace Warrior. Grace is the first child of Bind Irwin and her husband, Chandler Powell. Born in March 2021, adorable Grace has the attention of her doting uncle and his fans!

Recently, Robert shared a TikTok video of his time hanging out with Grace. Wearing his work uniform and seated in the driver’s side of his SUV, he and Grace share a moment. Uncle Robert captioned the video, “On these warm days, Grace loves chilling in the parked car, aircon on blast in the driveway… trying out some high-fashion looks.”
Looking stylish in her denim shortalls and white top, Grace adjusts her sunglasses just so with her little fingers, and Uncle Robert says, “Nice one.”
He continues, “You look very groovy.”
“Rock on, dude,” he says while modeling the universal hand sign for the sentiment.

Drawing out the final word nice and long, Grace Warrior repeats, “Rock on, dude.” However, she can’t quite get her fingers in the correct position—she may not have those fine motor skills mastered. No matter!
Grace settles for a peace sign, and her uncle is great with that.
It’s a precious exchange, and Robert’s fans are impressed!
One wrote, “You gonna be one cool uncle, Robert, keep building that relationship with your niece… she will remember you.”
Another praised Robert Irwin, saying, “Robert Irwin will forever be my role model.”
“I had an Uncle Robert growing up too. It's good to see the tradition of the ‘fun Uncle’ is continuing.” commented another.
What a beautiful connection the two share! Uncle Robert is clearly smitten and will surely have an incredible impact on Grace Warrior in the years to come!
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12
