Louis Tomlinson 100% CONFIRMS he’s going to be a dad on Good Morning America

It’s official. 100 per cent official. Louis Tomlinson from One Direction has confirmed that he's going to be a dad.

We first heard murmurings that Briana Jungwirth was expecting 23-year-old Louis’ baby at the beginning of July. But without any confirmation from Louis or 1D's people, what were we to think?

Well… we thought he was almost definitely going to be a dad, what with all the talk of his mum having seen the ultrasound, and various sources seeming pretty sure it was on. Not to mention Liam Payne pretty much confirming it yesterday.

But now it’s come directly from the horse’s/hot boy band member’s mouth.

While One Direction were on Good Morning America just now, the show's host congratulated Tomlinson on his "upcoming fatherhood" before asking how he is feeling. And Louis replied: "Thank you. Obviously it's a very exciting time, so I'm buzzing."

Louis and Briana aren’t actually an item. Louis met 23-year-old stylist Briana back in May through a mutual friend, and they’ve spent a few nights out together.

Despite this, Louis is said to be keen to be a hands-on dad, and rumour has it he’s been house shopping in LA near where Briana lives.

People.com have an inside source, who told them: "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.

"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," the source added.

Congratulations Louis and Briana!

Wrong direction!
