Who is Robert Irwin’s girlfriend, Rorie Buckey?
Rorie Buckey is Heath Ledger’s niece from his older sister Kate.
Rorie and her twin sister Scarlett are a product of Kate Ledger’s marriage to Nathan Buckey.
“Heath is hugely important in the lives of my children,” Kate told Who magazine in 2018.
“There’s not a day that goes by that we don’t share stories or talk about him. He is very much alive in our house.”
On July 3, 2023, Robert Irwin and Rorie made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Sydney premiere of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
While the former is based in Queensland, the latter is based in Perth.
“Robert’s absolutely smitten, and you can tell from his ear-to-ear grin,” an insider told Woman’s Day in April.
“He’s fallen for Rorie big time and who can blame him? She’s a complete sweetheart, very kind, and not at all intimidated by his world in the spotlight.
“She adores Robert and can’t believe she’s found someone so down-to-earth in their world.”

“He sees them having a future together – he wouldn’t be dating her if he wasn’t.”
