Crikey! Love was in the air at the premiere of "Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One" in Sydney, Australia.
Robert Irwin, son of late "Crocodile Hunter" star Steve Irwin and brother of Bindi Irwin, and Rorie Buckey, niece of late actor Heath Ledger, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the July 3 event.
Irwin and his girlfriend, who is the daughter of the "Dark Knight" star's sister Kate Ledger, were all smiles and cuddled up while posing for pics at the premiere. The couple, both 19 years old, wore coordinating outfits—a black suit for Irwin, while Buckey sported a black cut-out dress.
Irwin and Buckey sparked romance rumors last November when they were first photographed together on a beach in Queensland. In December, on his birthday, the two were photographed sitting with his mother Terri Irwin at their family's Australia Zoo.
