ROBERT Irwin and his girlfriend Rorie Buckey have shared a sweet update as they head on their first romantic getaway.

The loved-up pair publicly debuted their relationship in August at a red carpet event in Sydney.

Since then, the young Aussie couple have delighted fans with cute sneak peeks on social media.

The latest update came last weekend from Rorie's Instagram.

The 19-year-old shared a series of picturesque snaps from a romantic getaway to Tasmania.

“Tasmania!!” she captioned the photos, including one of herself and Robert posing under a cherry blossom tree.

“Such a beautiful couple in my favourite place on Earth," Robert's mum Terri wrote.

Sister Bindi also jumped in, replying: "Spectacular"; followed by Rorie's twin Scarlett adding: "Love you guys”.

Rorie's 27,000 followers also ate up the snaps.

"You are living the dream girly," one follower wrote.

Robert and Rorie have been romantically linked since November 2022.

At the time, the pair were spotted on several outings in Queensland.

While most Australians are familiar with Robert's heartbreak after losing his famous "crocodile hunter" dad Steve Irwin, Rorie's tragic past is less known.

She is the niece of globally-adored, Perth-born actor Heath Ledger, who tragically died in 2008, aged 28, of an accidental drug overdose.

He starred in Brokeback Mountain and 10 Things I Hate About You and played the Joker in The Dark Knight.

Police said he died of an accidental abuse of prescription medications including painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, and sleeping pills.

He had an older sister named Kate - Rorie's mum, to whom he was very close - and two half-sisters.

Earlier this year, in April, Robert and Rorie were seen spending time with her family.

"Meeting the family is the first step and he wants them to see that he's good enough for someone as special as Rorie," a source told Woman's Day.

"You can tell the Ledgers are very protective of her, especially after losing Heath.

"The last thing they want is for her to have her heart ripped out by a showbiz romance, so Robert's on his toes around her folks.

"He's such a genuine, humble guy with no airs and graces. He's funny too, and he reminds everyone of his father, he's very likeable."
