, ROBERT & RUSTY S SPECIAL BOND

As Terri’s romance with Russell heats up, 13-year-old Robert Irwin (above left) has found a father figure. ‘Terri loves that Robert has a man in his life that he can look up to. She knows Steve would approve – he loved Russ. They’re very similar blokes,’ an insider reveals. Robert not only idolises Russell, he’s also an ardent supporter of the actor’s NRL club, South Sydney Rabbitohs. ‘His mates keep telling him he lives in Queensland so he should be going for the [Brisbane] Broncos, but he won’t have it,’ a source tells. ‘He loves hanging out with the Bunnies players when they come up to train at Nana Glen.’
