Louis Tomlinson is reportedly ‘happy and excited’ about becoming a father for the first time.
The 23-year-old One Direction singer was in a relationship with Eleanor Calder for four years until they broke up a few months ago.
And in the wake of the split it seems Louis has yet another monumental life change to look forward to, as it’s claimed Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth is pregnant with his child.
‘Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother,’ a source, who claims to be a mutual friend of the pair, told People magazine. ‘It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer.’
Apparently Louis, who originally hails from England, is looking at properties in the Los Angeles area that are close to where Briana lives.
Louis has also been by Briana’s side often of late, with reports suggesting he has attended every single one of her ultrasound medical procedures so far.
‘Louis and Briana care about each other very much and have spent a lot of time together privately over the last few months,’ the insider explained.
‘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.’
Speculation is rife both Briana and Louis want to keep the pregnancy out of the spotlight.
‘Briana is a really lovely girl; she’s absolutely not interested in Louis’ fame. She’s very private and most of the time they spend together is out of the public eye, just hanging out with their friends,’ the source detailed.
Apparently Louis and Briana’s loved ones are ‘all excited and totally supportive’ over the expectancy.
The source revealed the pair’s families ‘really hit it off when they met’ over July 4th weekend.
