Robert Irwin, a 21-year-old wildlife conservationist, broke down after his "Dancing with the Stars" performance, which was a dedication to his mom, Terri Irwin.
In a backstage interview, Robert explained that he dedicated his dance to all mothers and anyone experiencing grief after loss, including his own grief over the loss of his late father, Steve Irwin.
"It was really hard to express that and really hard to actually get through a dance while internally you’re processing and getting all of these emotions out there,"
Robert's emotional contemporary dance was a tear-jerking moment, with his mom Terri joining him at the end, leaving the audience and judges in tears.
