After weeks of ‘is he, isn’t he?’ Louis Tomlinson has confirmed that yes, he’ll be a father.
It was going to be tricky to keep schtum about the baby news while a) everyone in the world knew about it and b) One Direction did loads of promo for their new song* Drag Me Down*, so Louis addressed the story (the closest, most important person to Louis to have confirmed it was his head honcho manager type guy, Simon Cowell) pretty early on in the promo run.
An interviewer for Good Morning America said: ‘Louis, from one father to another, I wanna congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. How are you feeling?’
To which Louis replied: ‘Thank you, yeah, obviously it’s a very exciting time, so I’m buzzing, thank you.’
And you know when a politician does a defiant ‘yeah I messed up but trust me with this?’ sort of grimace? It kind of looks like the grin Louis did when contemplating his child with not-girlfriend Briana Jungwirth.
Perhaps the most important thing imminent fatherhood can teach the member of One Direction – who’s known amongst fans as ‘the Sassmaster’ (remember when he said Naughty Boy was like a ‘12 year old’ for taking a photo using his Mac photobooth?) – is diplomacy. He’s just about managed it here…
