Robert Irwin Embraces Grief, Walks Sister Down Aisle

0:00From Hollywood to the world, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. Robert Irwin, the 22-year-old zookeeper, opened up about grief on a recent episode of The All There Is with Anderson Cooper Podcast. He shared how he's learned to embrace the pain from losing his dad, Steve Irwin, back in 2006. One big moment came in 2020 when he walked his older sister, Bindi, down the aisle at her wedding. At first, Robert felt out of place, like it wasn't his role since their dad had always planned to do it. But he shifted his thinking to a sense of duty, wanting to step up and honor his father by enjoying the day for him. That night, after the ceremony, emotions hit him hard. He described sitting in the backyard, letting it all pour out, calling those raw moments, both tough and strangely good when you fully feel them. Steve died from a stingray attack when Bindi was eight and Robert just two years old. The family, including their mom Terry, has kept his wildlife work alive through conservation efforts.

While raising Bindi's four-year-old daughter Grace, the Daily News now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode.
