Louis Tomlinson of One Direction will be a father soon!
Baby news is exciting, but will this be another hit to the band's once squeak-clean image?
One Direction heartthrob Louis Tomlinson is set to become a daddy!
The 23-year-old will be the first father in One Direction, and is expecting a child with Los Angeles stylist Briana Jungwirth, according to British tabloid The Sun and US celebrity magazine People.
The Sun reported that Tomlinson went on dates with Jungwirth in May after breaking up with girlfriend of four years Eleanor Calder.
People magazine said that Tomlinson was looking for properties in Los Angeles.
“They are both really happy and although they aren’t in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby,” an anonymous friend was quoted as saying.
A representative for the band did not immediately comment. Tomlinson last posted on Twitter a day earlier to raise support for a children’s charity.
One Direction largely managed to avoid controversy until March when founding member Zayn Malik quit.
Malik afterward entered a feud over social media with Tomlinson, who questioned his former bandmate’s solo efforts.
