LOUIS TOMLINSON has confirmed that he’s become a father for the first time.

    After much speculation, the One Direction singer tweeted that his baby son was born Friday.

    “He is healthy and pretty amazing. I’m very happy,” he wrote on Twitter.

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

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

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

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

    Harry Styles tweeted “flowers all round,” maybe in a nod to Tomlinson’ baby.

    One Direction is currently on hiatus but is nominated for several Brit Awards at the upcoming ceremony in February.
