One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson Has 'Become A Dad' For The First Time

One Direction Star Louis Tomlinson Welcomes Son

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has become a dad to a baby boy.

His former partner Briana Jungwirth gave birth in a hospital in LA, The Sun confirmed.

The singer was reportedly at her side for the birth.

PEOPLE also confirmed the news, and said the new parents had called their baby boy "perfect".

They reported a source close to the couple said: "Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth welcomed their first child, a son, this week in Los Angeles."

On 22 January, before it had been confirmed, One Direction fans were in a frenzy after a fan account claimed Jungwirth had given birth.

The fan account @1DExclusiveInfo claimed Briana’s own grandmother had confirmed the news.

Tomlinson has not yet confirmed the birth, however people are using the hashtag #WelcomeBabyTomlinson with congratulations messages.

And that's not all - people are already betting on the name.

Novelties Trader for Betfair, Colm Rock, said: "It seems Betfair customers aren’t quite convinced that the baby will be called Jacob which is 6/1, with a majority backing Leo at 11/2 favourite.

"The boys' names are certainly leading the charge with Johannah, Louis’ mother’s name one of the few girls name to appear at the top of the market at 8/1.

"Louis said he’d love to call the baby Lucas in a recent interview for Top of the Pops Magazine which is seeing some interest at 9/1."

It was revealed in July that the singer was expecting his first child with Jungwirth.

A mutual friend told PEOPLE at the time: "Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother."
