@chef.ched: Robert Irwin and Witney Carson may no longer be competing together on “Dancing With the Stars,” but their friendship clearly did not end when the season did. Carson recently announced that she and her husband, Carson McAllister, are expecting their third child. And when Irwin learned the news, his reaction quickly melted hearts online. There was reportedly no audio of the moment, but fans who watched his expression called it incredibly sweet. The reaction meant even more because Irwin and Carson became close while competing together on Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars.” The pair ultimately won the season. But their connection continued long after the trophy. Carson has previously shared how much her children adore Irwin, even revealing that her son Jet once pretended to be him while playing “Dancing With the Stars” at home. Earlier this year, Carson and her family even traveled to Australia to reunite with Irwin. Now she is preparing for another major chapter. Carson will return for Season 35 of DWTS while pregnant with her third child, this time partnered with Guillermo Rodriguez. She admitted dancing while further along in her pregnancy feels daunting, but said she is proud to keep doing what she loves while growing her family. And judging by Robert’s reaction, one of her biggest supporters is still cheering her on. Sometimes the best partnerships do not end when the competition does—they turn into real friendships. Would you rather see Robert return to DWTS or reunite with Witney for one special dance? #RobertIrwin #WitneyCarson #DWTS #DancingWithTheStars #celebritynews
