Bindi Irwin was bursting with pride last night as her younger brother, Robert Irwin, danced his way to victory on Dancing With the Stars season 34. 

Moments after the 21-year-old wildlife presenter and his pro partner, Witney Carson, were crowned champions, Bindi shared a heart-melting behind-the-scenes video that sent fans into a frenzy.

The 27-year-old, who famously won the mirrorball trophy herself back in 2015, wrapped her arms around Robert as he clutched his newly earned prize. 

Over the clip, she added a touching message: “10 years ago, I won Dancing With the Stars. Tonight, my little brother takes HIS mirrorball home.”

In the caption, her pride was unmistakable: “I love you so much, Robert. Words can’t describe how proud I am of you. You EARNED this.”

Fans flooded the comments, cheering on the pair and celebrating another Irwin triumph. 

“Your family deserves it,” one follower wrote. 

“So happy I sent in my votes for him.” 

Others couldn’t help but point out the sweet sibling milestone: “Not just brother and sister… but mirrorball champs!”

Bindi later posted another photo, this time posing with both mirrorball trophies at Australia Zoo, joking: “TWO MIRRORBALLS NOW CALL AUSTRALIA ZOO HOME!!!!”
