In a viralTikTok video, the woman said he was “so cool.” She added, “I was wondering if I can have your number.”
“I’ll tell you what: the easiest way [to contact me] is on Instagram because then my people can monitor it and see when it comes through because my number is getting mixed,” he explained.
But that wasn’t a good enough answer for the woman, who told Irwin: “Well, I actually DM’d you last night to tell you I was coming here today.”
He sweetly responded, “Oh no” and told her that he would “look it up” after finding out her name.
In his interview with E! News, Robert also revealed how he is enjoying being a “crazy uncle” to Grace and provided an update onhis 19-month-old niece, who he called “the smartest member of the family.”
