One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is going to be a Daddy

One Direction member Louis Tomlinson is apparently heading towards a definite path, fatherhood. The 23-year-old heartthrob is reported to be expecting a baby with Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth.

After news of splitting from long-time girlfriend Eleanor Calder earlier this year, the One Direction band member has been seen on a number of dates and was spotted holding hands with model Tamara Bell at Glastonbury festival. Tomlinson may have met Jungwirth, also 23 years of age, through mutual friends.

After the news broke, Jungwirth was reported to have tweeted, "My phone is shaking," presumably because she was being flooded with messages about the reports.

According to a source interview with People, "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." The source continued to state that Tomlinson has vowed to be at Jungwirth's side and be a "hands-on dad" when the baby arrives.

The source added, "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. Its early days and Briana and the baby's health are the most important things right now."

While Tomlinson is expecting a new member to his family, the One Direction band recently downsized when member Zayn Malik called it quits because he "couldn't handle everything that came from the insanity of fame and being a huge celebrity," an insider shared with HollywoodLife.

Despite the uproar over Malik's leaving the band, Tomlinson reiterated that the group has no plans on disbanding. "We're having too much fun!" said the striking singer, who has also branched out in the music business by starting his own record label.
