Robert Irwin breaks down after 'DWTS' dance dedication to mom Terri: "A weight lifted"

Robert Irwin's Emotional Dance Dedication to His Mom Terri

Robert Irwin, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist, broke down after his dance dedication to his mom Terri on "Dancing with the Stars."

He dedicated his dance to all mothers and anyone experiencing grief after loss, including his own grief over the loss of his late father, Steve Irwin.

"It was really hard to express that and really hard to actually get through a dance while internally you’re processing and getting all of these emotions out there,"

Robert said backstage, after a tear-jerking performance that left the audience and judges in tears, including Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba.

Terri joined her son at the end of the dance, making the moment even more emotional.
