Australian wildlife conservationist and television personality Robert Irwin has made a charming public proposal to one of the world's most famous couples. He has offered the iconic Australia Zoo as a potential wedding venue for global pop superstar Taylor Swift and her Super Bowl champion fiancé, Travis Kelce.
A Heartfelt Invitation Goes Viral
The heartwarming offer was made during a sneak preview of US network ABC's 15th annual year-end special, hosted by Robin Roberts. The clip quickly gained traction online after its release. The 22-year-old Irwin, a recent winner of Dancing with the Stars, directly addressed the engaged couple, suggesting that an Australian celebration would be the perfect touch for their upcoming nuptials.
"Wow, Travis and Taylor. You know what'd really, in my opinion, just absolutely make that wedding? If it was an Australian wedding," Irwin told Roberts in the now-viral segment. He ended his pitch with a simple, direct message: "Taylor and Travis, hit me up — I got you!"
Why Australia Zoo is a Prime Wedding Destination
Irwin explained that hosting weddings is a popular and well-established service at the Queensland-based zoo, which has been owned by his family for decades. He painted a vivid picture of the unique setting available to couples.
"One of the things that we do that is the most popular is weddings at Australia Zoo, we have hosted many," he said. "We have this beautiful location overlooking the African savanna, where rhinos and giraffes are just frolicking out in the open in the wild, and you get married over that, and it's stunning."
The zoo has a history of hosting high-profile family weddings, most notably the 2020 ceremony of Robert's sister, Bindi Irwin, to her husband Chandler Powell.
A Familiar Destination for the Celebrity Couple
This would not be Swift and Kelce's first experience with an Australian zoo. In early 2024, during the Australian leg of Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour, the couple was photographed together at Sydney Zoo, creating a media frenzy. Their engagement, announced in August 2025, sent fans and media into a global speculation spiral about potential dates and locations for the wedding.
Robert Irwin's public invitation adds a uniquely Australian option to the list of possible venues being debated by fans worldwide. It combines the couple's noted love for travel and unique experiences with the possibility of a breathtaking, wildlife-filled backdrop for their special day. Whether the offer is taken up remains to be seen, but it has certainly captured the imagination of fans across both Australia and the globe.
