1D's Louis Tomlinson Is Now A Dad!

Baby, you're perfect. That One Direction song now has a whole new meaning, at least for one band member. After a lot of speculation and rumors, it looks like Louis Tomlinson is now a father to a baby boy, People reports. Bustle has reached out to Tomlinson's rep for comment, but did not receive an immediate response. At this time, there is no additional information. In July 2015, it was announced that Tomlinson was expecting a child with Briana Jungwirth, which shocked many 1D fans. From that moment on, the anticipation for baby Tomlinson was high, because, who doesn't want to see the 24-year-old singer holding his child?

It took less than a month for Tomlinson to comment on the news. During a Good Morning America appearance, Michael Strahan asked him how he was feeling about becoming a father. Tomlinson said, "Thank you. Obviously it's a very exciting time. So thank you."

At the time of the pregnancy announcement, a friend of Tomlinson's told People that he and Jungwirth are not a couple, but just friends." Louis and Briana care about each other very much and have spent a lot of time together privately over the last few months," the source said. "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. It’s early days and Briana and the baby’s health are the most important things right now."

That definitely still seems to be the case, especially since Tomlinson has been spotted out and about with The Originals actor Danielle Campbell. Really, none of that matters, because Tomlinson has an important job to do: fatherhood. I'm sure his mind is now on his child and not on those rumors about his personal life.

With that, congrats to Tomlinson and Jungwirth on their happy news!
