One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is set to be a dad.

The singer and the boy band’s resident larrikin will be become a father soon after it was reported his girlfriend, the Los Angeles stylist Briana Jungwirth, is expecting.

The couple, both 23-years -old, have been together since early this year following Tomlinson’s break up with British model Elanor Calder.

Both Tomlinson and Jungwirth have yet to make an official comment about the pregnancy.

The news comes on the back of an already tumultuous year for One Direction with numerous media reports regarding their hard partying antics and the departure of member Zain Malik only a few days before the band’s UAE performance at Dubai’s Sevens Stadium.

The band return on the road for a North American tour beginning July 15.
