The couple went on crocodile research trip together where they uncovered 'critical data' for the Wildlife Warriors' Worldwide foundation. Robert's mother Terri - who shares her kids with her late husband Steve - and sister Bindi, 26, had been impressed by Rorie's dedication to Australian wildlife.
An insider claimed Rorie was 'determined to not let Robert down and show him - and his mum and sister - that she's not just some puff piece. And she blew them away'. The pair were in a long-distance relationship, as Robert is based at Australia Zoo in Queensland while Rorie lives in Perth.
