Louis Tomlinson is reportedly going to be a dad. According to PEOPLE, the One Direction member is expecting his first child with Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth, whom he met through mutual friends following his split from Eleanor Calder in March. The baby is due early next year.
A mutual friend of Louis and Briana tells the site, "Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother. It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer."
According to the friend, Louis has vowed to be by Briana's side and to be a "hands-on dad" when the baby arrives. He has been looking for properties near his baby mama and has accompanied her in each ultrasound.
"Louis and Briana care about each other very much and have spent a lot of time together privately over the last few months," the pal shares, "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."
"Briana is a really lovely girl; she's absolutely not interested in Louis' fame. She's very private and most of the time they spend together is out of the public eye, just hanging out with their friends," adds the friend.
Louis and Briana's parents allegedly are "delighted" with the news and met in L.A. over the July 4 holiday weekend. The families "really hit it off when they met," the friend says, "They are all excited and totally supportive."
According to the pal, Louis' mom Johanna, a mother of seven, and Briana have grown close for the past few months. "Johanna is a midwife, so she's been able to give advice and has been a great source of support for Briana," the pal says.
Neither Louis nor Briana has commented on the report yet.
Some One Direction fans who are not happy with the baby news take to social media to slam Briana. Asylumnh tweets, "@BrianaJungwirth okay wanna be left alone?? Confirm or deny then yeeeeah." Battelecrynarry writes, "GUYS NO ONE EVEN KNEW WHO BRIANA JUNGWIRTH WAS UNTIL THIS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER STUNT TO GET HER ATTENTION SO DONT GIVE HER ATTENTION!" Fooklary posted, "TELL US RAT." Jerseytmh, meanwhile, added, "CONFIRM OR DENY LYING B***H OK."
