MAFS bride Domenica Calarco has earned the ire of Robert Irwin fans after shamelessly flirting with the 18-year-old croc hunter’s son on Instagram.
Irwin emerged looking very grown up in a cover shoot for Stellar magazine published over the weekend, sending the internet into a spin.
But Dom, 28, seemed to have caught the conservationist’s glow-up early.
The reality star couldn’t resist telling the teenager he was looking “handsome” in a video he posted to TikTok last month, the Daily Mail reports.

“God you are so handsome!” Sit With Us podcast host Dom commented beneath a video posted by the teenager last month.
But while some followers egged her on, the flirty comment quickly landed her in hot water.
“Ask him out!” one suggested in the replies, prompting Dom to add: “Robert, would you like to come to the Logies with me?”
Others were not impressed by Dom cracking on to the teen given the significant age difference between them.
“You’re literally 28? This is f***ing creepy? I was a fan of yours,” wrote one person while another agreed: “That’s f***ing creepy”.
Another called it “gross, predatory behaviour” and told her: “Be a better human and do better.”
“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,” Dom hit back.
The backlash comes after Dom’s MAFS “husband” Jack Millar soft-launched his new relationship with a fellow reality star on Instagram.
Jack and Love Island star Courtney Stubbs posted loved-up selfies on a weekend away to Perisher in the Snowy Mountains, with Dom – who has remained close friends with her ex – commenting: “This is such a vibe.”
Meanwhile, Robert Irwin’s new-found internet boyfriend status has sent fans speculating that he is actually dating friend and actor Emmy Perry.
Emmy, who is also an heiress to a video game fortune worth roughly $380 million, has recently posted videos of Robert on a boat while on holiday.
Bad luck, Dom.
