YES, you did read that right… A member of One Direction is going to be a father!

According to E News, One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson, 23, and Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth, 23, are expecting a child together.

The soon-to-be parents met through mutual friends earlier in the year after Tomlinson’s split from longtime girlfriend Eleanor Calder.

A mutual friend of the couple told People Magazine that Louis is extremely happy and excited about becoming a dad.

“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.”

Tomlinson is yet to confirm the news.
