Louis Tomlinson of One Direction to be a dad

LOS ANGELES, July 14 (UPI) -- Louis Tomlinson, member of British boy band One Direction, is going to be a father, sources to him say.

A mutual friend of Tomlinson and Los Angeles stylist Briana Jungwirth broke the news to People Tuesday.

"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," the source said.

Though the two aren't dating, Tomlinson had been spending a lot of time with Jungwirth since he broke up with longterm girlfriend Eleanor Calder in March.

"Louis didn't expect this, but he's excited for it now," a source told Us Weekly. "He's become very close friends with Briana this year and now they are looking forward to being parents. He's definitely going to be there and be a great dad for their baby."

Tomlinson has reportedly been looking for a place to live in Los Angeles closer to Jungwirth. Their two families even spent some time together over the July 4th holiday.

They "really hit it off when they met," the source said in the People report. "They are all excited and totally supportive."
