Dancing with the stars Champion Robert Irwin and Xochitl Gomez have neither confirmed nor denied dating rumors for a long time, and fans think they may have dropped a hint.
The 19 year old DWTS one alum celebrated Irwin’s victory on social media by taking to Instagram on Thursday, November 27, and sharing a heartwarming post.
The actress wrote, “What a season! Congratulations to all the finalists,” in the caption, alongside a carousel featuring her photos with some of the dancers, including Witney Carson, Milo Manheim and Irwin himself.
The carousel’s notable detail was a childhood photo of the wildlife conservationist, 21, holding the disco ball that his sister Bindi Irwin won 10 years earlier.
Several fans in the comments argued that the subtle detail was “so coded by the girlfriend” and that the social media move seemed like a “rough launch.”
Irwin, for his part, also appeared in the comments, writing, “last pic though.”
The rumors were sparked after Gomez claimed she was single while giving an interview to DWTS candidate, Jan Ravnik.
When asked about the relationship between him and Gomez, Irwin also played coy in interviews.
