Xochitl Gomez Supports Robert Irwin Ahead of ‘DWTS’ Finale Amid Romance Rumors

Robert Irwin and Xochitl Gomez are doing little to dispel rumors they’re dating … in fact, it’s quite the opposite … because they were spotted hanging out before his big “Dancing With The Stars” finale.

Check out these photos from backstage on the ‘DWTS’ lot Tuesday … looks like Xochitl paid her rumored man a little visit.

Robert’s one of the four finalists and he and Xochitl look pretty comfortable together … they chatted, hugged from the side and she brought him a flower bouquet.

Plus, folks who were there say Xochitl also spent some time backstage with Robert’s family.

Robert danced around the dating rumors a couple weeks ago when he asked him about Xochitl at ‘DWTS’ practice … but they’re looking more and more like an item.

Xochitl’s super familiar with ‘DWTS’ … she won the whole darn thing on season 32 and earlier this season she teamed up with Robert for a dance.
