Robert Irwin is set to attend the upcoming Logies red carpet without his girlfriend, Ashleigh Scully, as reports suggest his family has expressed concerns about the rapid progression of their romance. Irwin, 22, who is nominated for the Gold Logie and slated to host the 2026 TV WEEK Logie Awards, will have his mother Terri and sister Bindi by his side for the significant career event.
Logies insiders indicate that the evening will be a "family affair," emphasizing that Robert's close family members have always been his priority and have supported him throughout his career. While Irwin and Scully have spent recent months together in Los Angeles, their relationship has reportedly been kept out of the spotlight as Irwin's television career accelerates. Sources describe their romance as one they are "taking at their own pace."
Irwin has become a prominent figure in the television industry, with producers eager to secure him for future projects. Hosting the Logies is viewed as a major milestone, with further announcements about his television future anticipated.
Reports of family concerns emerged weeks prior, with sources telling Touch Weekly magazine that Terri and Bindi find the relationship's swift development concerning, not due to any issues with Scully herself, but rather the speed at which plans are being made. There are suggestions that Irwin is keen to integrate Scully into the family business and spend time at Australia Zoo, a prospect that has reportedly raised eyebrows among some family members who feel the relationship may be moving too quickly.
Scully, a professional wildlife photographer specializing in Arctic wildlife and underwater photography, began her passion for photography at a young age and was recognized as Outstanding Young Nature Photographer by the North American Nature Photography Association in 2021. She is also an accomplished athlete, serving as captain of Texas Christian University's equestrian team, and holds degrees in Literature from TCU. Rumors of a romance between Irwin and Scully have circulated since at least 2019, and the pair were reportedly seen on a diving expedition with Dylan Efron in February.
While Scully's attendance at the Logies is not expected, the possibility of Robert's niece, Grace Warrior, making a surprise appearance has been mentioned. The focus for Irwin on the night is expected to be his hosting duties.
