Robert Irwin revealed what he’s looking for when it comes to finding love in an exclusive interview with E! News ahead of the Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas.

Robert Irwin is ready to spread his love further than just the animals.
And when it comes to finding the perfect partner in life and adventure, he knows exactly what he wants.
"I love to surround myself with people that are kind, that are positive and are up for an adventure," Robert exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with mom Terri Irwin and sister Bindi Irwin ahead of the Steve Irwin Gala at The Bellagio in Las Vegas. "Because at the end of the day, I feel so grateful that every single day for me is an adventure."
The 21-year-old, who will soon be on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars, continued, "I'm traveling all corners of the world, I've got my mission for wildlife conservation, I get to do some pretty cool things. I feel very grateful, and I would be honored, I would love to share that with someone special."
And Robert feels confident his person is out there—and maybe even paying attention to his interviews, as he joked, "To you watching this right now: Hi, Robert here, love ya!"
Robert, who represented his family at the May 10 event honoring his late dad Steve Irwin by supporting global animal conservation efforts after his sister had a sudden medical emergency, detailed how Bindi, 26, and their mom are a big source of support and guidance when it comes to dating advice.
"That's the sort of thing where I always talk to my mom and my sister so much about, that advice, because the relationship world is hard enough as it is, let alone being in the public eye," Robert admitted. "So you really just have to let it happen, you have to be open to it and let it happen. It'll all fall into place when it's meant to."
And Robert, who previously dated Rorie Buckey, confirmed his confidence that love will find him, adding, "She's out there somewhere and it'll happen."

Until then, Robert remains focused on furthering his father's mission of animal conservation and continuing his important work—and he believes that even his "side quests" like "modeling Bonds underwear or doing Dancing with the Stars" can help him to do so.
"I want to be able to take any far-flung thing, any exciting new project and really bring it back to the central message that we have,” Robert noted, “which is conservation and protecting animals, of course, but also kind of accidentally teaching you along the way and hopefully spreading a bit of positivity."
