Even Robert's sister Bindi Irwin weighed in, writing, "Love you both!"

There's no denying that these two young adults are smitten with each other. In fact, this adorable update comes almost two months after the pair made their red carpet debut.

For those who missed it, on July 3, Irwin and Buckey hit the red carpet for the first time as a couple at the Sydney premiere for the Tom Cruise-led film, Mission: ImpossibleDead Reckoning Part One.

The duo perfectly coordinated for the night out in all-black ensembles, with Buckey opting for a floor-length gown featuring a cutout and Irwin wearing a blazer-slack combo.

We're certainly excited to see what's next for the young pair.
