One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson has welcomed a baby boy with stylist Briana Jungwirth.
Announcing the birth of his first child, Louis, 24, tweeted on Saturday:
He briefly dated Los Angeles-based Briana in May 2015 after he broke up with his long term girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
News of the pregnancy broke in August, although there has never been an official statement.
In a radio interview shortly afterwards on Magic Radio, his fellow band member Liam Payne confirmed the news, saying: “Well, obviously I was a bit shocked but he’s taken super well to it.”
The 21-year-old singer, who described Briana as a “lovely girl,” added: “And he’s very excited with what’s going on with him at the moment and I feel that stuff like that happens sometimes. He’s taking it very seriously.”
Louis then responded to an interviewer’s congratulations about his impending fatherhood on Good Morning America.
He said: “Thank you, obviously it’s a really exciting time, so I’m buzzing, thank you.”
He is the first member of One Direction to become a father.
No name has yet been disclosed for his son.
