BACKSTORY: One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson to be father–reports
On Thursday, Tomlinson sent social media into collective “Awws” when he posted a picture of him cradling his newborn son.
“Meet my little lad, Freddie,” the caption of his photo read.
Jungwirth gave birth to Freddie on January 22. She and Tomlinson, however, are no longer together.
One Direction, which was formed on the British talent competition “X Factor,” rose to fame with hits like “Perfect,” “Steal My Girl,” and “What Makes You Beautiful.”
In 2015, after Zayn Malik had announced that he was splitting up from the group, One Direction announced that it was going to take an “extended” hiatus in 2016.
The band, however, clarified that the break would not be permanent, even releasing an album as a foursome.
