Terri Irwin has jetted off on a family trip with son Robert and his girlfriend Rorie Buckey, following her son's new girlfriend winning her over.

The trio were spotted as they travelled to Melbourne together carrying their belongings as they got off the plane. It seems that Terri has welcomed Rorie into the family with open arms as they were seen hugging in the airport.

The three of them all wore masks as Rorie, who is the niece of the late Heath Ledger, rocked an all black ensemble. She wore a pair of black baggy jeans, a black long-sleeved top and white trainers. She wore a straw hat over her shoulder-length hair which she styled in a loose wave. She finished off her look with a black cross body bag.

Meanwhile, Robert went for a khaki look as he wore straight-leg jeans and a polo top as he carried a matching coloured jacket. Terri went for a stylish look as she donned a pair of denim jeans, a deep red shirt and a long black coat. Despite Robert and Rorie only recently going public with their relationship, they have been dating since November 2022.

The pair are making it work despite them living on opposite sides of the country, with Robert in Queensland and Rorie in Western Australia, where she studies in Perth's prestigious Curtin University. Neither of them are strangers to fame as they both come from well-known Australian families. Robert is the son of late conservationist Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin while Rorie is the niece of the late Oscar winning actor Heath Ledger.

Mystery over 'lost' Steve Irwin death tape that recorded harrowing last moments

Rumours first emerged of Robert and Rorie's romance last November when they were first pictures together on a beach in Queensland. On Robert's birthday in December, they were spotting sitting with his mother Terri Irwin at their family's famous Australia Zoo. They went public when they appeared together at the premiere of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One in Sydney, Australia. The 19-year-olds couldn't stop smiling as they cosied up to each other in co-ordinating outfits while posing for pictures.

Australian outlets recently reported Rosie won over her beau’s family with a “wildlife warrior boot camp”, impressing Robert's mum Terri and sister Bindi, 25, will he willingness to get stuck in and embrace nature. Rosie "determined to not let Robert down and show him - and his mum and sister - that she’s not just some puff piece. And she blew them away," Woman's Day reported a source close to the family saying.
