Katie warns Suri 'YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO WED!'

A SPARKLING NEW RING HAS PROTECTIVE MUM KATIE CONCERNED

Suri Cruise was spotted in New York City last week wearing an unmissable ring on that finger, just days before she headed to Pittsburgh to commence studying at prestigious Carnegie Mellon University.

The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise couldn't contain her happiness as she proudly flashed the stunning sparkler for all to see, leading to speculation it may have been a gift from her boyfriend, Toby Cohen.

Although it's unconfirmed whether the jewellery is an engagement ring or perhaps even a promise ring, New Idea hears that Dawson's Creek actress Katie has concerns about her daughter's relationship moving too fast, too soon at such a young age.

"Katie wants Suri to focus on having fun and her studies- not getting too serious about a boyfriend," a source tells New Idea.

Katie, 45, is unsurprisingly "very protective of her only daughter", having raised her as a single parent since her divorce from Tom in 2012.
