Louis Tomlinson seems very happy to be a father.
Soon after ex-lover Briana Jungwirth gave birth to a boy, Tomlinson Tweeted confirmation of the news, referring to the tiny bloke as “amazing.”
The handsome singer then went on to share an adorable photo of his son, Freddie.
Prior to doing so, however, In Touch Weekly alleges that Tomlinson wanted to make absolutely sure that the baby was actually his.
“He wanted proof the baby was his,” an insider tells the tabloid. “Louis had [a DNA] test done as soon as the baby was born.”
By most accounts, Tomlinson and Jungwirth were never a couple.
They seemed to have had a brief fling last year that included at least one round of unprotected sex and that’s all it takes to produce a child.
(Remember that, kids. Use protection.)
Tomlinson has since been supportive of Jungwirth and insiders say he plans on playing a role in the baby’s life – but, given these circumstances, it’s still understandable that he may have wanted a paternity test taken.
Jungwirth may not be one of them, but there are plenty of groupies out there who try to trap celebrities via false baby claims.
Moreover, In Touch Weekly writes that Jungwirth (pictured below with her son) was seeing someone else at the time she slept with Tomlinson.
In the end, however, the test came back positive.
Tomlinson is right to celebrate and we’re right to send him our best wishes because he really is a father. Hooray!
