Robert Irwin looks to be out with the cousin of another unfortunate Australian celebrity.
Irwin, 18, son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, was seen with Scarlett Buckley, 18, niece of the late Heath Ledger, on the beach in Queensland, Australia, on November 18.
Photos published by New Idea magazine depict the young pair smiling broadly while taking a stroll at dusk.
The youngsters were reportedly observed eating burgers and fries at a neighboring restaurant before returning to the beach, where Irwin embraced the niece of “The Dark Knight” actor Christian Bale.
Neither has spoken publicly on their developing relationship, although Irwin follows Buckley’s private Instagram account.
Kate, sister of Ledger, is the mother of Buckley, who is identically twinned with Rorie.

Robert Irwin was just three years old when his “Crocodile Hunter” father passed away at the age of 44.
As a result, both adolescents have coped with media coverage of their family tragedies from a young age and have grown up in the public glare.
With the assistance of her son and daughter, Bindi Irwin, Terri Irwin has kept Steve Irwin’s memory alive via their conservation efforts for Australia Zoo.
