On Tuesday, November 25, the Australian wildlife conservationist, 21, took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy with his partner Witney Carson. After his win, the Irwin could be seen hugging Gomez, 19 — the dance competition show’s season 32 champion — on the ballroom floor, in a video captured by People.
While the pair embraced, they whispered to each other, and fans took to the video’s comment section to point out that it looked like the TV personality told the actress, “See you soon.”

Meanwhile, the Marvel star posted a video of Irwin and Carson, 32, winning the trophy on Tuesday, writing, “I am so incredibly proud of you two. What a season!” alongside a red heart and sparkle emoji.
As Star reported earlier this month, Irwin and Gomez performed a jive together in week nine of the competition when past winners danced with current competitors in the relay round. The judges and fans praised the duo for their chemistry.

The next day, TMZ cameras asked Irwin if he and the Babysitters Club alum were an “item,” and he played coy.
“Oh my gosh, we had the best time. That dance was so much fun, and it was so cool to do two such distinct dances,” he responded. “One that was, like, really slow and heartfelt, and then the dance with Xochitl was just, like, energy and fun. She’s the best. It’s been really, really great.”
