Like, it honestly really did.
I met him when he was 11 when Bindi did the show.
So it felt very much like someone that I already knew.
And obviously, I didn't have a chance to really get to know him when he was there with Bindi just because, you know, we were all in our own worlds.
But when he showed up and he walked in, he was just so excited.
And I could tell he was really nervous and
yeah I mean he Robert doesn't really get nervous but the energy I just felt like a little bit more nervous energy and I felt instantly like I wanted to like shield him and like yeah him and I think because because I am a mom now and like him being so young and you know I have two boys and I immediately wanted to just protect him and be like it's fine you're good I got you like
we got this like we're so and it was just the energy was so um infectious and it was it just felt really warm and it felt really really good and then i started doing a few like kicks and flicks with him because i knew our first dance was jive so i was like okay we're gonna test this out a little bit um and i was like what have you been doing for three months because you got announced yeah i

He was very athletic and he was able to learn quickly, which is exactly what I was looking for.
So I'm like, even if you don't have dance experience, if you can learn pretty quickly and keep it retained.
that's going to be really important.
So that's what I was kind of looking for with that one.
But immediate connection, immediate like protectiveness.
At one point, you jokingly wanted to play matchmaker for Robert, the planet's most eligible bachelor.
