Watch: 'Dancing With the Stars' Robert Irwin Receives Sweet Finale Gift From Xochitl Gomez

Xochitl Gomez didn't need to travel through the dimensions of the multiverse for this meet-up. 

Indeed, hours before Robert Irwin won season 34 of Dancing With the Stars Nov. 25, the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness actress stopped by his trailer with a bouquet of flowers.

Xochitl handed him the arrangement—filled with baby pink roses, baby's breath and light green foliage—before she and the wildlife conservationist shared a sweet hug, as seen in photos published by TMZ.

Robert, who did a little kick with his right leg, and the Raven's Home alum had a marvelous time as the latter couldn't help but tip her head back as she laughed. And it appears great minds think alike, as the duo were dressed in all black during their exchange.

Xochitl was also sure to show her support for Robert and pro Witney Carson online, writing on her Instagram Stories after their win, "I am so incredibly proud of you two. What a season."

Dancing With the Stars' Robert Irwin Responds to Xochitl Gomez Dating Rumors

Since Robert, 21, stepped onto the ballroom floor with the Marvel star—who won season 32 with pro Val Chmerkovskiy—during Nov. 11 for the dance competition's 20th-anniversary episode, fans had speculated more than just a friendship between them.

After all, Robert and Xochitl, 19, dazzled with an intimate jive to Olly Murs' "Dance with Me Tonight" during the evening's dance relay against Alix Earle and season 33 winner Joey Graziadei.

E! News has reached out to reps for Robert and Xochitl for comment and has not yet heard back.

Although fans may have seen sparks fly between the pair, Robert wasn't interested in dancing around the rumor. In fact, he simply waltzed away from a question about their relationship status.

"Oh my gosh, we had the best time," he told TMZ of the experience dancing with Xochitl. "That dance was so much fun. It was so cool to do two such distinct dances: one that was really slow and heartfelt and the dance with Xochitl was just energy and fun. She's the best. It's been really, really great."

While Robert didn't confirm or deny their romance, he did put a spotlight on their working relationship.

"The thing that Xochitl brings is so much energy and fun and passion," Robert told Deadline earlier this month. "It feels like we're so on the same wavelength when it comes to approaching the jive. We're like, 'Make sure it's really fun and then Witney can come in and make sure your toes are pointed.'"
