What was reported at Perth Airport
PerthNow also said Irwin had been spotted checking in for an international flight at Perth Airport with Buckey and her family the week before. The outlet attributed that account to the Daily Mail. The airport sighting is therefore best understood as a claim relayed by PerthNow, not as an independently verified detail.
How their relationship status changed
On 17 February 2024, PerthNow reported that Irwin and Buckey had announced they were going their separate ways in statements posted on their respective Instagram accounts. The article reproduced their joint wording: “We wanted to share that we have decided to go our separate ways but profoundly appreciate all of the time spent together and wish one another all the very best into the future.”

So, “girlfriend” described Buckey’s relationship to Irwin at the time of the January report; it is not a current-status description. PerthNow’s 17 February 2024 separation report records the later update.
