"Creepy" reaction to Robert Irwin debuting his girlfriend on social media
Robert Irwin finally made his relationship with Rorie Buckey Instagram official with a cute selfie shared to his four million followers.
While many were supportive of the couple's budding romance, a few others couldn't hide their disappointment as their dreams of having their own fairytale romance with the conservationist were crushed.
“You just broke the hearts of tens of thousands of young girls across the world. Congrats tho,” commented one person.
“Siri play that should be me by Justin Bieber,” commented another.
"So this is what heartbreak and betrayal feels like," commented a third.
"I don’t think I can ever recover from this," wrote fourth.
"What if this was my last straw robert," wrote another.
One fan even asked him: "HOW COULD U CHEAT ON ME !?😭"
The post itself gained almost 400,000 likes in the first eight hours after it went live, and a few comments have called out the fans who were disappointed in the star.
“Some of these comments are creepy as,” wrote one.
“This comment section is disappointing remove yourself from whatever parasocial relationship you’ve constructed and treat people with kindness,” commented another.
“As much as I do have a celebrity crush on Robert, I think everybody should be happy for him. His life,” wrote a third.
"Why are these comments so creepy? If you cant be kind, just stop. They look happy, leave them be," added another.
The couple were first spotted cuddling at a Queensland beach late last year, and made their first red carpet debut at Sydney's International Convention Centre last month.
Buckley, who is late star Heath Ledger's niece, is currently living in Perth, so the young couple are currently making their relationship work long-distance.
