Earlier today, we reported on the news that Taylor Frankie Paul\u2019s season of The Bachelorette<\/em><\/a> might air on ABC and Hulu beginning in July.<\/p>\n

The news came courtesy of an anonymous tip received by the reliable gossip outlet Deux Moi.<\/p>\n

But the tip also contained a different and equally newsworthy claim about the future of the franchise, namely, that Robert Irwin \u2014 son of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin \u2014 is being vetted as the next Bachelor.<\/p>\n

\u201cABC is hoping to finalize a deal with Robert Irwin to lead the show this fall, but if not, the next choice is Taylor\u2019s runner-up from her season. Should be an exciting next few months for the Bachelor Franchise,\u201d the source wrote <\/a>in an email.<\/p>\n

The speculation that Robert might be tapped to as the next Rosemaster General has been circulating for weeks.<\/p>\n

But it really picked up steam today when Deux Moi renewed chatter surrounding the possibility of producers eyeing the conservationist and recent Dancing With the Stars <\/em>champion<\/a> for the role.<\/p>\n

Yes, Irwin has become something of a breakout reality heartthrob in recent months. <\/p>\n

After charming viewers (and apparently everyone with access to social media) during his winning run on DWTS, the 22-year-old has only grown more popular.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

And ABC already has a strong working relationship with Robert:<\/p>\n

Irwin recently announced he\u2019ll return to television as host of Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro<\/em>, a new spinoff premiering this summer on ABC and Hulu.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s one pretty major obstacle to the whole \u201cRobert as Bachelor\u201d fantasy: would he even want the gig?<\/p>\n

Irwin has previously been candid about the challenges of dating while juggling a very public life and major conservation work in Australia. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, he acknowledged that romance can be \u201cchallenging to navigate\u201d (via Reality Tea<\/a>), while emphasizing that he stays true to himself regardless of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Still, fans are already imagining what a Robert Irwin-led season might look like. He\u2019s basically the opposite of Taylor Frankie Paul, and the result could be the most wholesome season in the history of Bachelor Nation.<\/p>\n
