Dancing with the stars champion Robert Irwin and Xochitl Gomez have neither confirmed nor denied dating rumors for a long time, and fans think they may have just lost a clue.
The 19-year-old DWTS alum celebrated Irwin’s win on social media by taking to Instagram on Thursday, Nov. 27, and sharing a heartwarming post.
The actress wrote, “What a season! Congratulations to all the finalists,” in the caption, along with a carousel of photos of her with some of the dancers, including Witney Carson, Milo Manheim and Irwin herself.
The notable detail of the carousel was a childhood photo of the 21-year-old conservationist holding the mirror ball his sister Bindi Irwin won 10 years earlier.
Several fans in the comments claimed the subtle detail was “sooo boyfriend-coded” and the social media move appeared to be a “hard launch.”
Irwin, for his part, also appeared in the comments, writing “the last picture though.”
The rumors were ignited after Gomez claimed she was single while giving an interview DWTS participant, Jan Ravnik.
When asked about the relationship between him and Gomez, Irwin has also played coy in interviews.
