Robert Irwin is celebrating his first festive season with new girlfriend Rorie Buckey by his side.
And it seems the Wildlife Warrior, 20, has been wholeheartedly welcomed into the Buckey clan, as he was spotted embarking on a holiday with Rorie, 19, and her extended family last week.
The lovebirds were seen checking in for an international flight at Perth Airport last Wednesday, and were joined by Rorie’s mother Kate Buckey – sister of the late n actor Heath Ledger.
Also joining the travelling party was Rorie’s father Nathan, her twin sister Scarlett, Heath Ledger’s mother Sally Bell and her husband Roger.
Robert was all smiles as he chatted with his in-laws at the departures terminal, dressed in a casual green T-shirt, jeans and sneakers.

Heath was at the top of his Hollywood career when he was found dead in January 2008 following an accidental prescription drug overdose.
Meanwhile, Robert’s father Steve, known to the world as the ‘Crocodile Hunter’, died aged 44, on September 4, 2006, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb
