Robert Irwin, despite all our beliefs that he is still a tiny child holding a baby crocodile, is all grown up.
The 18-year-old has a girlfriend now, and her name is Scarlett Buckley. The pair were seen out in public together on a date, as per New Idea.
And Buckley has a famous family of her own. She is the daughter of Heath Ledger's sister Kate.
And the late Australian actor played a big role in his nieces and nephews' lives, with sister Kate saying to Who Magazine in 2018: "Heath is hugely important in the lives of my children. There's not a day that goes by that we don't share stories or talk about him. He is very much alive in our house."
It's something Irwin and Buckley have similar ground on – losing family members in the public eye in tragic circumstances.
At two years old, Robert Irwin lost his dad. There was collective grief across Australia and the world when Steve Irwin died at the age of 44, a stingray killing him while he was filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef, back in 2006.
