The One With the DWTS Scandal

Date: 10/24/2025

I’m watching Dancing With the Stars. During the pre-dance video segment, they reveal that Witney Carson is pregnant with Robert Irwin’s baby. I realize that this is very scandalous because Witney is married and Robert is considerably younger than her. They show a talking head of Robert crying as he reveals that Witney’s husband actually passed away as a graphic of the acronym “RIP” flashes on the screen with animated angel wings on either side of it. At some point, I’m with Robert (either I’m Witney or I’m myself and completely forgetting about everything I just saw) outside of an arena somewhere. I tousle his hair and am suddenly aware that I’m in love with him but that we can’t be together.
