Xochitl Gomez is not dating anyone in the public eye despite all the rumors, as she has not officially announced otherwise. Reports suggested that the speculation regarding her and Robert Irwin's fling was based on their Dancing With the Stars 20th anniversary episode appearance together, and not romantic ties. Irwin and Gomez performed together on the show, in which he did not dance with his usual partner, his sister, Bindi Irwin. The show later cleared up the confusion, making it clear that Irwin's relay round was with the Season 32 winner, Gomez. Their undeniable chemistry set off the fireworks of dating rumors.

The duo danced to 'Dance with Me Tonight' by Olly Murs for Robert Irwin and Alix Earle’s 20th Birthday Party Relay Jive, and viewers could not help but gush over them. Even Derek Hough praised their off-the-roof chemistry. However, no reliable source has given any indication of a romantic link between them. This is not the first dating gossip that has surrounded Gomez, then 17, as she was previously linked to dancer Val Chmerkovskiy, then 37, after her DWTS victory, which was equally unfounded. Meanwhile, Gomez and Chmerkovskiy remain friends. Though she turned heads with Irwin dating rumors, those not looking forward to Gomez's upcoming movies are missing out.

While Robert Irwin and Xochitl Gomez's current relationship status is not officially announced, Gomez's slate remains busier than ever.

What comes next for Xochitl Gomez?

Xochitl Gomez rose to fame as a queer Latina superhero with multiversal powers, America Chavez, in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Though that was her sole MCU appearance, she is highly likely to return as Chavez in Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, 2026, or perhaps on Avengers: Secret Wars on December 17, 2027. Though Marvel has sidelined several of its unique superheroes for petty reasons, Chavez can be useful for key moments in the MCU's multiversal future unfoldings.
