Witney Carson has been playing matchmaker for her current Dancing With the Stars partner, Robert Irwin.
“Girls, I love ya [and] thank you for the applications through somehow my email and flooding the DMs,” Carson, 31, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, September 26. “If I could line you all up with Robert, I would because you’re all 10/10 perfect cuties.”
She added, “We are currently dancing our lives away, so we are unable to respond. Robert for Bachelor?! Idk this is too stressful for me to handle.”
Ever since Carson was paired up with the 21-year-old Australian wildlife conservationist for DWTS season 34, she’s been trying to find her dance partner a potential girlfriend.

“Well, you have to go through a screening process,” Carson, who is married to Carson McAllister, quipped to E! News after the Tuesday, September 23, live show. “Submit your applications via DM and I will forward them to [Robert’s sister] Bindi. And then, then we will see [if we find an] American tourist.”
Robert, the son of late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has been single since last year. He most recently dated Rorie Buckley from 2022 to 2024.
Before Robert can find The One, he’s focused on clinching the mirrorball trophy first. Carson is currently teaching the contestant a salsa to Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” for the September 30 broadcast of DWTS on the show’s inaugural TikTok Night.
Robert and Carson last received a 22 out of 30 from the judges for their Week 2 tango.
“I think the hardest part is just trying to better yourself, right? We try to top ourselves,” Carson exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday. “I always try and make the best choreography that I can. I always try and teach him the best way that I can. I know Robert brings it every single day, so we make an amazing team.”
She continued, “Honestly, I’m so grateful for him and we’re just going to keep doing what we’re doing and hopefully we can just stay on top.”

Robert, for his part, told Us that Carson has encouraged him to “feel that music” when hitting the dance floor.
“I [have] no idea about dance, but I do know I love music,” Robert said, explaining why he’s often spotted mouthing along to the lyrics. “For me, singing it, getting into it, and just giving every fiber of my being to this experience, that’s why I’m here. I’m so lucky that I have someone like Witney to direct all of this ridiculous tornado of passion and energy into some semblance of skill.”
Robert also revealed that Carson told him to “let the music move [his] body” and “take control.”
Robert’s tango especially impressed judge Derek Hough, who notably responded in one word — the Australian term “crikey.”
“I think it is the most fitting response anyone could ever give,” Robert told Us. “Crikey is a great word. It sums up everything, and if my dance was crikey-level, mate, I’m happy.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
