The champions of Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars” have been revealed…

Congratulations to Robert Irwin and his dance partner, Witney Carson!

At the conclusion of Tuesday night’s thrilling three-hour finale, the duo was awarded the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. The finale evening was packed with excitement, featuring three challenging rounds: a “Judges’ Choice” dance, an “Instant Dance,” and the always-anticipated “Freestyle” performances.

In a close competition, Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy secured the second place, while Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa claimed the third spot. Dylan Efron and Daniella Karagach finished in fourth, with Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten rounding out the top five.

Expressing his gratitude after the win, the wildlife conservationist shared a heartfelt sentiment, echoing his sister Bindi Irwin’s words from her own Season 21 victory with Derek Hough, “Thank you for changing my life.”

“I’m so grateful for Robert, honestly,” Carson added. “I feel like I already won with him as my friend and I can’t thank you enough.”

Ahead of the finale, Carson revealed Monday night that she had to make some last-minute changes to her choreography due to Irwin battling some pain.

“Robert’s ribs have been killing him … I do have to change some things that involve the other dancers and involve the other guys,” she told fans via TikTok, referencing their freestyle routine.

“It’s just honestly the most stressful part, because this is just getting it all together and it’s going to take some time.”

“We’re going to have absolutely no regrets by the end of this,” she added. “I really do feel like I’ve already won in this experience with Robert.”

Irwin wasn’t the only one who danced through injuries this season, however. Hendrix missed “Halloween Night” last month after injuring her ribs during her “Defying Gravity” performance one week prior.

The actress previously revealed to Page Six that she had been dealing with pain in the weeks leading up to her “Wicked Night” routine.

Meanwhile, Earle gave fans a peek at some of her brutal injuries in her weekly social media posts featuring behind-the-scenes clips from rehearsals, her journey on “DWTS” and more.

In addition to the reveal of the new mirrorball champs, Tuesday’s three-hour Season 34 finale featured the return of previously eliminated contestants, including Corey Feldman, Hilaria Baldwin, Whitney Leavitt, Jen Affleck, Andy Richter and Danielle Fishel.

They all performed together — one last time — for the show’s opening number, set to “Never Can Say Goodbye” by The Communards and choreographed by Joey Pizzi.

The evening also included a special announcement about the upcoming “DWTS: Live!” tour, which kicks off in January 2026. Hendrix, Fishel and Richter will be joining pro dancer Emma Slater as co-host on various stops, with Earle, Efron, Chiles, Irwin and Carson as featured special guests on select dates.
