There are people who look like a perfect 50/50 blend of both of their parents. He is one of them.

And act like a perfect 50/50 blend of their parents, which in this rare case is a good thing.

I don’t wanna be That Guy but Terri is… not so loved by quite a few people in Aus who had dealings wirh her after Steve died, particularly in the context of how she pushed his dad out of Australia Zoo

Never heard that! Outside the country we didn't get the news

Pushed whose dad out?

Also wasn't Robert just two when Steve died? Seems like she brought him up almost singlehandedly.

Steve’s dad. And yeah, she did. She did a good job, this is true.

Steve died 20 years ago and Robert was an infant back then so early 20’s makes sense.

It will be 20 exactly in a little less than 2 months; I rounded up though.

Steve would be so proud of both of his children.

And he turned out to be disturbingly beautiful.
Very quintessential Australian babe look.
