One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson has confirmed that he has become a dad for the first time.

After much speculation, Louis Tomlinson tweeted that his baby son was born on January 22.

Louis Tomlinson tweeted: “He is healthy and pretty amazing. I’m very happy.”

Last year reports came out about how Louis Tomlinson was having a baby with American stylist Briana Jungwirth.

There was never any official press statement about it but Louis Tomlinson did confirm the news of his impending fatherhood during an awkward moment on US television.

When he was congratulated by the interviewer, Louis Tomlinson replied: “Thank you, yeah, erm, obviously it’s a very exciting time, so, err, I’m buzzing, thank you.”

Louis Tomlinson is the first member of One Direction to become a father although there’s no word on a name for his child as yet.
