Robert Irwin is currently lighting up the ballroom on Season 34 of "Dancing with the Stars" with his partner, Witney Carson. The pair is definitely a team to beat, as they've been consistently at the top of the leaderboard for the first two episodes. There is no denying that Robert is a force to be reckoned with because of his dancing skills and contagious charm. But there is a heartbreaking reason that Robert is reportedly participating in the show that has nothing to do with having fun.
A source told Globe that Robert is working more lately to try and financially support his family and save his late father Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, which began struggling amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Steve reportedly only had a small insurance policy to help support his family after his death .
