People

Robert, 21, danced his way to the title alongside professional partner Witney Carson on the show’s season 34 finale, which took place on Tuesday, Nov. 25. His victory came almost exactly 10 years after his elder sister, Bindi, 27, won the Mirrorball with her partner, Derek Hough. And Robert says that achieving the same accolade as his sister means “everything to him.”
