During the fantastic finale broadcast in November 2025, Robert Irwin and pro partner Witney Carson were declared the winners of Season 34 of Dancing With the Stars. Performing flawlessly, the duo impressed the judges and audience alike with stunning quickstep, cha cha, and freestyle rounds to take home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.
The finale pitted five couples against each other in three rounds: Judges’ Choice, Instant Dance, and Freestyle. Social media influencer Alix Earle, paired with Val Chmerkovskiy, came in second, while Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles with Ezra Sosa came in third. The other finalists included Dylan Efron with Daniella Karagach, and Elaine Hendrix partnered with Alan Bersten.
The highlights of the night featured perfect scores by Earle and Chmerkovskiy in both the samba and freestyle rounds, along with an electric paso doble by Jordan Chiles. Robert and Witney danced through a rib injury and gave strong performances to score perfect marks in all three routines, showing tremendous resilience and improvement throughout the season.
So far, this season of Dancing With the Stars had been one filled with dynamic performances, strong competition, and touching emotional moments that finally ended with a well-deserved victory for Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, who shone as the brightest stars of this particular season.
