Julia Morris captivated audiences last month when she unveiled a noticeably slimmer figure on the new season of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Now, a trusted insider has disclosed that her co-host, Robert Irwin, deserves significant credit for the veteran comedian's radiant new appearance and positive outlook.
A Pillar of Support During Personal Crises
According to a source speaking to Woman's Day, the 22-year-old Wildlife Warrior has become an indispensable confidant for the 57-year-old television star. The insider emphasised that Robert has been a steadfast source of emotional support, particularly during a challenging period in 2024 when Julia was diagnosed with ADHD and subsequently faced a cancer scare.
The source elaborated, stating, 'Robert has been there for Julia a lot.' This support extended to moments when Morris felt low about the breakdown of her marriage to husband Dan Thomas, which ended in 2021. Irwin reportedly provided a listening ear and steady companionship during these difficult times.
Fitness Inspiration and Career Mentorship
The insider also connected Julia's celebrated weight loss to Robert's influence. 'People have been commenting on her weight loss as well, and that's because she's not only been inspired by Robert's fitness and diet regimen, but he's been helping her along with it,' the source revealed. This collaborative effort on health and wellness has contributed significantly to her vibrant new look.
Furthermore, the relationship is described as mutually beneficial. The source noted that Julia has reciprocated by 'mentoring' Robert in his career decisions, offering guidance drawn from her extensive experience in the entertainment industry. In a touching display of their bond, Morris reportedly flew to Los Angeles last November to cheer Irwin on during his triumphant victory on Dancing With the Stars US.
Embracing a New Chapter of Life
Julia Morris has been openly discussing her current state of contentment and her decision to remain single. In an interview with TV Week, she expressed profound happiness, stating, 'Happiness is leaking out of me now. People say, "Have you met someone?" and I say, "Absolutely not – and that's why I look so great!"'
She elaborated on her perspective, highlighting a commitment to her new life phase and her two daughters, Ruby, 18, and Sophie, 16. 'I have no desire to meet anyone, ever!' Morris declared, explaining that she views this period as a fresh start following her marriage, which began when she was 35.
Reflecting on the past few years, which included the loss of her father and colleague Dr Chris Brown leaving the jungle show, Morris adopted a philosophical stance. 'That's the ebb and flow of life, isn't it? You have to sit in it, there's no fast track. You can't play the blame game. Be a little self-reflective and make personal changes,' she advised.
While she hinted in July 2024 on The Kyle & Jackie O Show that her split from Dan was acrimonious, Morris has maintained a respectful silence on the details to protect her former husband and, most importantly, her children. Her priority remains firmly on her family and personal wellbeing, a journey in which Robert Irwin's friendship has played a pivotal and supportive role.
