Xochitl Gomez says she is single, but her recent actions have sparked even more curiosity about her relationship with Robert Irwin. The 19-year-old actress made the statement during a lighthearted interview at the Dancing With the Stars Season 34 finale, where she smiled, laughed, and insisted she wasn’t dating anyone. Her relaxed answer seemed clear at first, but fans quickly noticed that her social media posts told a slightly different story.

Just hours after declaring her single status, Gomez shared a set of photos from the finale night. Most of the images showed her celebrating behind the scenes, but one photo stood out as a close and cheerful snap of her with Robert Irwin, who won this season’s Mirrorball Trophy. At the end of the post, she added a childhood picture of Robert proudly holding his sister’s Mirrorball from years ago. Many fans felt the choice was intentional, and it immediately set off a new wave of dating speculation.

Robert has not tried to quiet the rumors either. When a paparazzo asked him whether he and Gomez were more than friends, he smiled and repeated that the two “had the best time” together on the show. He praised her openly and didn’t offer a firm denial, which only fueled curiosity about what may be happening between them.

The pair first caught viewers’ attention during a relay performance on the DWTS 20th-anniversary episode. Their chemistry on stage was hard to miss, and fans on social media quickly began wondering if there was something real behind their easy connection. The speculation grew stronger a few days before the finale, when Gomez was spotted visiting Robert with a large bouquet in hand. People around the set described them as fun, energetic, and naturally drawn to each other.

Neither of them has confirmed a romantic relationship, but their interactions both online and off have created plenty of buzz. For now, Xochitl Gomez maintains she is single, yet her playful posts and Robert’s warm comments leave room for fans to imagine the possibility of something more developing between the two rising stars.
