Robert Irwin looked every inch the doting son on Thursday as he stepped out with his mother Terri in Brisbane.
The couple attended the premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s new show, Luiza, and seemed happy to be together for a brilliant evening.
Robert, co-host of I’m a Celebrity… Australia!, looked dapper in a plain white T-shirt under a light gray sports jacket and matching trousers.
The 21-year-old conservationist, very close to his family, completed his outfit with a pair of plain white sneakers.
Meanwhile, her mother Terri, 60, looked effortlessly chic in a flowy red and black printed dress for a night out.
Terri, who shares Robert and daughter Bindi, 26, with the late Steve Irwin, also wore a pair of black heels and decided to leave her long locks down for the occasion.
A source who attended the event told Daily Mail Australia that the celebrity couple’s arrival caused quite a stir as fans were excited to see them together.
“The event was a buzz with Teri Irwin and Robert Irwin walking the red carpet,” the source revealed.
“You knew someone interesting had arrived by the way people stopped talking and started gaping.”

“It was a sight to see as they separated the crowd to and from their seats.”
Before taking them off at the photo wall, the source also said the safety-conscious couple arrived at the event wearing matching black and white face masks.
“They were the only ones wearing medical masks, which almost made them stand out more.” “It certainly wasn’t to hide his identity,” the source said.
‘We had to think twice to realize it was Terri. Many people thought that. They are joined at the hip.
The source added that the couple received royal treatment and were escorted to the venue by security guards, who sat with them during the performance.
“No wonder Americans speak of the Irwins as Australia’s own Royal Family,” they said. “They act like Prince William and Princess Kate.”
Robert doesn’t shy away from publicizing his close bond with his beloved mother Terri and the pair often take work trips together.

Terri is also often seen with Robert at red carpet events and their joint public appearances have increased since Robert split from girlfriend Rorie Buckey in February.
She also accompanied Robert to South Africa and was on set while he filmed I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! this year.
Robert also invited Bindi and his two-year-old niece Grace Warrior, whom his sister shares with Chandler Powell, to join him during filming.
He was recently forced to respond to fans’ claims that his mother Terri was a “helicopter parent” and that it was “creepy” that they spent so much time together.
Robert explained that he has a very close bond with his family after the loss of his famous father Steve Irwin.

Steve died on September 4, 2006, aged 44, after being pierced in the chest by a manta ray while filming a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef.
Robert was just two years and nine months at the time, while his sister Bindi was eight.
“I think loss brings a family together like nothing else…people forget (that),” Robert said during an interview on The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday.
‘I think when we lost dad, our little tight-knit family unit became incredibly close. And we travel with the whole family everywhere most of the time. It’s nice.’
