Watch: ‘DWTS’ Pro Witney Carson Reacts to Fans Sliding Her DMs to Date Robert Irwin

Witney Carson is giving a final bow to her matchmaker era. 

After all, she can’t keep up with her potential suitors. The Dancing With the Stars pro shared her hilarious reaction to fans shooting their shot with her dance partner, Robert Irwin, in her DMs. 

“Girls I love ya, thank you for the applications through somehow my email and flooding the dms,” Witney, 31, wrote on her Sept. 26 Instagram Stories. “If I could line you all up with Robert I would because you’re all 10/10 perfect cuties. We are currently dancing our lives away so we are unable to respond.” 

And while she’s found some suitable candidates, Witney—who shares sons Kevin, 4, and Jet, 2, with husband Carson McAllister—believes that Robert, 21, needs to be the leading star of his own dating show.   

“Robert for Bachelor?!” Witney continued, before playfully poking fun at the influx of applications she’s received. “Idk this is too stressful for me to handle lol.”

Indeed, the choreographer didn’t expect this high volume response when she offered to look through Robert’s DMs. That same day, the Crickey?! It’s The Irwins star posted a lighthearted TikTok video of Witney “taking the wingman job seriously” and reading his messages. Though she didn’t show off the personal messages, many fans in the comments section volunteered to be Robert’s new love. 

However, the zookeeper wants his future partner to meet his certain requirements

“I think more than anything else just genuine kindness,” Robert told E! News following DWTS’ Sept. 23 episode of his potential match. “That’s so important, to surround yourself with people who are genuinely kind.”

Robert is also hoping for someone who shows interest in his multi-hyphenate career. 

“My life is a whirlwind, it’s an adventure,” he continued. “I would love to be able to share that with someone and to share those little moments. I have a lot of great role models in the love department and a lot of people I look up to and go, ‘Wow couples goals.’ So I want to find that.”
