One Direction News: Louis Tomlinson Expecting A Baby With Briana Jungwirth

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is on his way to fatherhood as he's reportedly expecting his first baby with the L.A-based stylist, Briana Jungwirth, People magazine reported.

A friend close to Tomlinson told People that the singer is excited about becoming a dad, "Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother."

The source went on to say that, "It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even close."

The soon-to-be parents, Tomlinson and Jungwirth, have crossed their paths through mutual friends just earlier this year.

Though they are really not into a romantic kind of relationship, the singer has really been trying to show some efforts to Jungwirth as he flew from Europe to L.A to be present for Jungwirth's scheduled ultrasounds.

Tomlinson, 23, is also reportedly looking for properties situated in the west coast area and the singer has already met Jungwirth's parents.

Another source close to the couple said that Tomlinson and Jungwirth have 'really hit it off' as soon as they met and 'they are all excited and totally supportive'.

It has been a tough year for One Direction since Zayn Malik's exit and this piece of news may be one of the positive things Tomlinson can share to his 1D bandmates.

As for Tomlinson becoming a dad, this has been gaining different reactions from various One Direction fans on social media.

Earlier in March, Zayn Malik left the band to pursue his solo career and a month after, Tomlinson who stood up and said that the band will not break, has also debuted his own record label.

"This is something I've wanted to do for some time, and to be given the opportunity to potentially give new artists a platform is an incredible feeling," Tomlinson said in a statement.
