During the show earlier this week, Robert was paired with Xochitl Gomez for the 20th anniversary.

Derek Hough even called out the “chemistry” between the pair.

Witney Carson then “leaked” the romance because of the way in which her facial expression seemingly gave it away.

Reacting to the speculative post, one person penned, “They make such a cute couple.”

“That would be nice,” said a second.

“Well, I hope there is something there. They make such a good looking couple. Both are amazing people and terrific dancers,” penned a third.

A fourth then wrote, “Both of these young adorable people would be great together.”

While a fifth said, “Robert has good chemistry with basically everyone, so everyone needs to chill out please.”

And a sixth said, “If they are, that’s adorable! But can we just let them be??”

But a few other fans were quick to comment on how Xochitl looks like Robert’s sister Bindi.

“Looks like his sister,” said one person.

“She has a similar look to Bindi,” penned another.

This comes after we revealed the son of the legendary late Steve Irwin has his eyes set on rising star, Hailey Bills, who made her debut on DWTS this year as a member of the dance troupe.

Fans have suspected that sparks were flying between Robert, 21, and Hailey, 19, after noticing their on-screen chemistry during glimpses of them together on the show.

It appears that the suspicions were right on track, as The U.S. Sun can confirm that Robert does indeed have his sights set on Hailey.

“Robert’s been chasing Hailey around on set like a puppy dog. It’s no secret, people see it but the whole crew is supportive.

“They love the two of them individually so together they would be even better.

“There’s definitely a lot of attraction there, definitely a lot of flirting.

“They seem to have a really good connection and chemistry, that’s for sure,” a source spilled.

However, the insider said that it’s still early on, so the pair are “not yet” officially dating.

“Robert has his eyes on the prize and is just trying to get through this season and come out on top, so nothing is official yet.

“They aren’t in a relationship but the attraction is there, it’s heading in that direction.”
