Robert Irwin is single and not so ready to mingle with his fans.
The son of the late-Steve Irwin recently went viral on TikTok after denying a girl his phone number and a potential date.
The Blast reported last month that a Utah woman named Megan Grass visited the Irwin family’s famed Australia Zoo in Sydney, Australia.

While she was there, she saw Robert walking around an enclosure and asked if she could have his number.
“I think you’re so cute and I was wondering if I could have your number,” she asked Robert.
A bewildered and blushing Robert politely replied, ““Well, I’m very flattered, um, thank you.”

He proceeded to ask where she’s from and prompted her to DM him on Instagram.
Lo and behold, Grass had already DM’d the day before the video was taken.
“I actually DM’d you last night to tell you I was coming here today,” she told Robert.
A bit embarrassed, Robert threw his hands up in the air saying, “Oh no, ok. Well, what was your name?”
He promised to look up ‘Megan Grass’ in his DMs.
In a new interview with the Daily Telegraph, the 18-year-old explained he actually appreciated the woman’s advances despite it going nowhere.
“I was very flattered by this lovely Australia Zoo guest,” Robert admitted. “While I wasn’t able to give out my personal details, I really appreciated having a conversation with someone who definitely had a great interest and passion for the Zoo and my message”
Grass revealed in an interview with “Today Show Australia” what happened after she asked Robert for his number and if anything went down in the DMs.

"I definitely was not expecting it to blow up the way it did, but it was a really cool experience altogether and Robert was so sweet about it,” she said. “The people who are commenting on my TikTok are telling me that I was rejected in the sweetest way possible, which I agree."
Despite her advances, Robert is still single and looking for love, and he may find it in a former “Married At First Sight Australia” cast member.
Season nine contestant, Domenica Calarco, recently shared a photo of herself having a beer and blowing a kiss to the camera.
In the video uploaded on Thursday, July 7, the former reality TV star tagged Robert’s Instagram handle.
She said, “Hey Robert, I got a beer. Why don't you come meet me for a drink?”

This isn’t the first time Domenica has slid into Robert’s social media peripheral.
The 29-year-old recently got some backlash or leaving a thirsty comment on one of his recent TikTok videos.
She complimented his look writing, “God you are so handsome.”
One person encouraged her to “Ask him out,” to which she replied, “Robert, would you like to come to the Logies with me?”
Others were pretty harsh calling her “creepy” due to her and Robert’s 11-year-age difference.
