Irwins Fear Romance Moving Fast
Terri Irwin and Bindi Irwin are reportedly urging Robert Irwin to slow down his relationship with Ashleigh Scully.
An insider said mother Terri [Irwin] and sister Bindi [Irwin] understand why Robert is so taken with the stunning shutterbug and think she seems lovely, but added: "Their concern is more that he's already racing ahead and making all sorts of plans when the relationship is still very new.
"And their concerns are valid because he's talking about involving Ashleigh in every aspect of his life. He wants her spending time at the zoo, getting to know the family business and becoming part of the wider Irwin world."
As RadarOnline.com readers know, the family has carried on the conservation efforts of late patriarch Steve [Irwin], known to TV fans as The Crocodile Hunter, who died in 2006 after being fatally injured by a stingray.
Scully was described by an insider as a 'perfect fit' for Robert.

The insider said Scully, 24, seems like a "perfect fit" for Robert, 22, as they share so many of the same passions and interests.
"The problem is that he's already looking years ahead when he should really just be taking his time to get to know her," the source explained.
"Bindi and Terri keep reminding him that there's no need to rush. They're thrilled to see him happy – but they do think he needs to cool his jets."
