Witney Carson on Dancing With the Stars and Partnering with Robert Irwin
Witney Carson, who won season 19 of Dancing With the Stars over ten years ago, is pursuing her second mirrorball trophy. She earned her first title with current co-host Alfonso Ribeiro and then competed again in season 21 when Bindi Irwin joined the show, winning alongside judge Derek Hough.
Her younger brother, Robert Irwin, supported her from a young age, being only 11 when she took home her first mirrorball trophy. Reflecting on their new partnership, Witney shared with The Hollywood Reporter that she
“never in a million years”expected to dance with Robert when they first met a decade ago. She added,
“It never crossed my mind, but now that it’s happened, it feels right.”
