In a celebrity crossover that absolutely no one saw coming, Married At First Sight star Domenica Calarco has asked out wildlife warrior and Aussie sweetheart Robert Irwin.
The seemingly one-sided flirtation started last month when Dom commented on one of Robert’s TikTok videos, saying: “God you are so handsome”.
The following day, the 29-year-old reality TV favourite commented on the same video, asking Robert to accompany her to the TV WEEK Logie Awards.
“Robert, would you like to come to the Logies with me on Sunday? Xx,” she wrote.
The comments sent fans into a whirlwind, with some labelling the MAFS star “creepy”.
“That’s gross, predatory behaviour. Be a better human and do better,” one TikTok user commented.
But Dom hit back at her critics, saying: “In Australia, legal age is 16. He is 18. He can drink alcohol. I can ask him to come to the Logies with me, and say that he is handsome. Take a chill pill everyone.”
Then on Thursday, Dom took her crush one step further by publicly inviting Robert out for a drink.
While staying at a hotel in Melbourne with fellow MAFS star Ella Ding, Dom filmed herself having a drink and blowing the wildlife warrior a kiss.
“Hey Robert, I’ve got a beer. Why don’t you come meet me for a drink?” the 29-year-old said in the clip, in which she tagged Robert’s Instagram account.
However it looks like a MAFS/wildlife romance many fans were hoping for might not come to fruition! Robert, who is yet to respond to Dom’s advances, is reportedly dating his long-time friend Emmy Perry.
The 17-year-old is an American actress, animal welfare advocate and heiress to her father’s multi-million dollar videogame fortune.
In June, the Glee star was pictured spending time with Robert on a boat in Queensland.
