Robert Irwin turns 19 in style!

Robert Irwin has celebrated his 19th birthday with a bunch of crocodiles (and family) at Australia Zoo.

The birthday boy showed off his crocodile-feeding skills to an entertained crowd including his mum Terri and rumoured girlfriend Scarlett Buckley, who is the niece of the late Heath Ledger.

After entertaining the crowd, Robert was presented with a cake in the shape of a camera, in honour of his passion for photography.

His sister Bindi however was not seen in the crowd but wished him a happy birthday in an adorable post on Instagram of the pair showing off their height next to a “watch your head” sign.

"Happy Birthday to the taller Irwin sibling and greatest brother in the world," she wrote.

"You light up our lives with your hilarious sense of humour and kind heart.

"I see so much of dad in everything you do and I know he would be beyond proud of you. We all are.

“Thank you for being such a good uncle to Grace and fantastic brother to me and Chandler.

“We love you and can't wait to celebrate today!"

Robert fuelled a few rumours after he was spotted with Scarlett as the pair were pictured enjoying a sunset stroll in Queensland earlier this month.

In photos published by New Idea magazine, the two are seen smiling at each other after picking up takeaway for a picnic on the beach.

At one point, according to the publication, Robert pulled Scarlett in for a hug as the sun went down.

While neither have spoken publicly about their blossoming new romance, Robert has been following Scarlett's private Instagram account for some time.
