Married at First Sight star Dominica Calarco has invited fellow Australian Robert Irwin over for a beer after tagging him in a photo she took on TikTok.
Irwin, now 18 and son of the late Steve “Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, has been attracting a lot of attention lately, thanks in large part to a viral video showing the moment a fan traveled to Australia Zoo to see try to get a date with him.
And now, Calarco, who appeared on the most recent season of Married at First Sight Australia, appears to be following suit. Calarco uploaded a video to TikTok with the comment, “Come meet me for a beer @Robert Irwin,” and the video has since been deleted.
In the video, the 29-year-old man continued his monologue by saying to the camera, “Hey Robert, I got a beer. Why don’t you come over here and have a drink with me?

In response to a comment that encouraged her to “ask him out,” Calarco wrote: “Robert, I was wondering if you’d be interested in attending the Logies with me.”
However, although some of her followers seemed to be encouraging her to go for it, others appeared to be unhappy with the fact that there was a 10-year age gap between the two of them.
One user commented that it was “f**king weird,” while another questioned whether or not he was older than 18.
Calarco responded to one of the comments with the following: “Chill down, he’s of legal age, amazing.”
After that, someone else remarked, “Only fair. Doesn’t make it okay.”
Others came to the reality TV star’s defense and insisted that she was only making a “joke.”
One commented: “Omg can everyone chilllllllllll. It’s a joke.”
One more person who agreed with this point went on to say, “Just because someone wants to drink a beer with you does not indicate they have any sexual inclinations with you.” 🤦🏼♀️ I think it would be a lot of fun to have a beer with my old pal Rob.
After being labelled “gross” by another member of the MAFS Uncensored Facebook group, Calarco continued to defend herself by stating the following: “In Australia, the legal age is 16.” He is 18. Alcohol is not a problem for him.
I could invite him to the Logies with me and compliment his good looks at the same time. Everyone needs to take a relax pill.”
A video that went viral a month ago shows a fan named Megan Grass going to the zoo in an attempt to arrange a date with Steve Irwin. In the video, Irwin could be seen blushing shyly as she requested for his phone number.
Irwin then deftly changed the subject by asking the woman where she was from, to which she responded that she was originally from Utah, which is located in the United States. He then stated that he felt “quite flattered.”
He then attempted to lead her to his Instagram rather than giving her his actual phone number, but she disclosed that she had previously sneaked into his direct messages the day before to let him know that she would be attending the zoo on that particular day.
Irwin stated at a later time that the event “made his entire day,” however it was later discovered that he never actually established contact with the possible love interest.
In an interview with the Stellar section of the Daily Telegraph, he stated, “I was quite flattered by this charming Australia Zoo guest.” It is really significant in many ways!
Irwin proceeded by saying, “I really liked having a talk with someone who certainly had a tremendous interest and enthusiasm for the Zoo and my message, even though I wasn’t able to give out my personal data.”
“If they are not prepared to put on khaki and go feed crocodiles, then what are they waiting for?” “Bro, that’s not going to happen!”
