Actress and "Raven's Home" alum Xochitl Gomez couldn't hold back her enthusiasm for Robert Irwin, the winner of Season 32 of "Dancing With the Stars," after his private meetup with co-star Witney Carson sparked dating rumors between the two.
Gomez was overheard exclaiming how incredibly proud she was of Irwin and his pro partner Carson at a recent event. Her video post on Instagram captured her emotional reaction to the pair's big win, captioned "I am so incredibly proud of you two!"
Irwin, 21, and Carson, 32, were announced as the season's champions in a heartwarming moment that saw them hug it out onstage. Gomez brought Irwin a bouquet before his win and even spent time backstage with his family members.
The pair had already generated buzz when they danced together during the show's 20th anniversary celebration earlier this month. Their sizzling performance has fans swooning, but their private meetup has led to whispers about a potential romance.
While reps for Irwin and Gomez have remained tight-lipped on the matter, sources close to the situation claim that Carson wrote to fans in September saying she was "flooding" with applications from admirers hoping to date her.
Carson quipped in response, saying they were busy dancing their lives away so couldn't respond. However, Irwin jokingly told Page Six that he'd keep his admirers waiting until the right moment.
Irwin recently gushed about working with Gomez during an interview with The New York Times, calling their routine "so much fun." Carson echoed her sentiments, saying anything they do is on full display for fans to see.
It remains to be seen if Irwin and Carson will become a more permanent pair in the spotlight.
