One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is set to become a father early next year, or so everyone believes. The 23-year-old has acknowledged, and seemingly embraced, the prospect of fatherhood since it emerged that Louis had a relationship with Briana Jungwrith, who is expecting a baby.

Tomlinson even confirmed on a recent appearance on Good Morning America that he was excited by the prospect of becoming a father for the first time.

While Louis Tomlinson confirmed the rumors, it may not be true after all. A new report came to light claiming the One Direction singer could be off the hook because he wasn’t the only one Briana Jungwirth slept with.

In Touch magazine has claimed that Briana was sleeping with other guys at the time she fell pregnant. As often seems to be the case with stories of this nature, In Touch claims that an unnamed source has told them that Briana was having sex with another unnamed man at the same time as she hooked up with Tomlinson.

The source told the publication that Briana was seeing another guy before Louis came on the scene and that unnamed man, rather than Louis, could be the father of Briana’s child.

“Someone very close to Briana says Louis wasn’t the first guy she was hooking up with when she got pregnant,” a source said. “She was having sex with someone else at the same time, so the baby may not be Louis’.”

Not only was the 23-year-old reportedly sleeping with another guy, the expectant mother was apparently very serious with him as well.

Like Louis, this other guy is also allegedly involved in the music industry. Apparently, Briana was seeing this man way before Louis even came into her life.

“He and Briana would go to Briana’s home and hook up,” the source continued to explain. “Once the baby is born, it looks like Briana will have no choice but to get a paternity test. The situation is so messed up.”

If Louis isn’t the father of the child, he’ll be relieved of his paternal duties. However, until that’s proven, Louis is reportedly committed to his baby responsibilities.

Tomlinson is believed to be keen to be involved in the baby’s life if he proves to be the father and he wants to concentrate on being a good father when One Direction splits in March of next year.
