Inside the wild rumours about Robert Irwin and Shawn Mendes that are rocking the internet
It appears that once again, Robert Irwin has become a focal point of an internet uproar rather than a newcomer to it.
This time, the focus is not on the scandalous undergarments associated with James Bond, but rather on unsubstantiated, outrageous photos allegedly involving the Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, aged 26.
The couple has been mysteriously connected due to numerous AI-created posts and sensationalized headlines implying they’ve been in a secret relationship.
It’s clear that the romance speculations aren’t based on facts, and it seems that even those close to the Irwin family share our confusion.
The unusual collaboration kicked off when the artist behind “Treat You Better” joined forces with a 21-year-old individual and Academy Award-winning actor Javier Bardem, for the promotion of the animated film “Lyle, Lyle Crocodile,” around the year 2022.

In the video, Robert tests the duo about crocodile facts, expressing his love for reptiles in his characteristic excitement.
The clip, seemingly innocuous, was enough to send the internet into matchmaking mode.
Enthusiastic followers on TikTok and other platforms are creatively designing AI-made memes and visuals depicting the pair in a fictitious romantic relationship.
Some playful users have gone so far as to extol the duo as a ‘match made in heaven’ and label it the ‘unexpected crocodile romance we weren’t anticipating!’.
A misleading picture featuring Robert showing off his physique in Calvin Klein underwear and another photo with Shawn about to kiss an unnamed individual is displayed together.
As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement over an intriguing moment between Shawn Mendes and Robert Irwin. A subtle gesture in silence has sparked a wave across the internet, with many believing its hidden meaning to be profound.
An arrangement of three pictures is displayed – the initial one depicts Shawn, lying casually on a couch, exposing only his upper body, followed by another capturing Shawn and Robert in an embrace, concluding with a single image of a joyful Robert alone.
The caption of the false picture claims: ‘Shawn Mendes and Robert Irwin had an incredibly casual encounter that caused a massive online stir.’
According to insiders, the Irwin family are at a loss to explain the sudden concocted fake romance.
‘It’s been a whirlwind,’ a source close to the family told Daily Mail Australia.
On social media, there seems to be widespread celebration as if it’s an official announcement, yet Robert and Shawn appear to simply be close friends.
Shawn enjoys engaging with fan speculations, yet it’s important to note that there’s no romantic involvement involved.
Even though the connection between them is fake, it appears that the sensationalized headlines are working effectively, as numerous fans express their excitement and adoration for this supposed couple on various social platforms.
One enthusiastic fan expressed on Facebook, “Finally, some thrilling updates! For quite a while, I’ve kept tabs on Shawn Mendes, and I truly believe he’s worthy of every bit of joy life has to offer.
‘Let’s keep our fingers crossed for this potential new couple!’
In other words, based on the ‘alleged’ news stories I continue to see on my feed, it appears that there are approximately ten individuals who are said to be romantically involved with Shawn.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Robert Irwin for comment.
The well-known singer, who was once linked to Camila Cabello, has openly discussed stepping back from the music scene to focus on his emotional wellbeing.
For quite some time, there have been queries about Shawn’s sexual orientation, but he’s never explicitly answered them.
In October, the artist known for “The Señorita” shared some insights about his personal life during a concert at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on a Monday evening.
In a heartfelt message, the vocalist confessed that he found sexuality to be a deeply intricate matter, expressing his courage in doing so.
Shawn mentioned that there has been much discussion surrounding his personal sexuality, finding it somewhat amusing given his belief that sexuality is an intricately complex aspect of human identity which defies simple categorization.
‘To be honest, I’m still exploring and understanding both my life and my sexuality, much like many others.’
Speaking from the heart, it’s always felt as though I was invading a deeply private part of my soul. A journey of self-discovery, a quest to unravel mysteries that remain hidden even today.
Additionally, it’s quite unsettling since we reside in a world that often judges heavily on such matters. However, I am making an effort to be courageous and simply embrace my humanity, experiencing emotions as they come. For the time being, that is all I wish to share about this subject.
For about two years, Robert had been in a romantic partnership with Rorie Buckley. However, they ended their relationship in February 2024.
Or simply:
Robert and Rorie Buckley were together for approximately two years before parting ways in February 2024.
Additionally, it is said that he reportedly distanced himself from his alleged secret girlfriend, Charlotte Briggs who works at Australia Zoo, in February of the current year.
Initially, speculations arose about their relationship as far back as July 2024. This was when they were spotted looking quite intimate upon their joint arrival in Sydney before the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star made an appearance on The Project.
Initially, it was reported that they began their official relationship in November. However, recent information from reliable sources indicates that their grand plan to publicly announce and establish their relationship has fallen apart or failed to materialize as expected. (Daily Mail Australia)
One source from the South African set of the Channel Ten show affirmed, ‘It appears the situation has reversed.’
The schedule has been altered, causing speculation among many that Robert’s post-jungle romance might be finished.
