Johannah Deakin Dies; Mother of Louis Tomlinson Was 42

Johannah Deakin, the mother of One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson, has passed away at the age of 42.

He family broke the tragic news in a statement issued Friday morning:

“It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday 7th December 2016,” the statement reads.

“Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. We respectfully request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private.”

In addition to Louis, Deakin is survived by six other children, Lottie, 18, Felicite, 16, twins Daisy and Phoebe, 12, and twins Ernest and Doris, 2.

Felicite tweeted a broken heart Emoji on Thursday night, the first public acknowledgment of Johannah’s passing.

Johannah became a grandmother in January of this year, when Louis and Briana Jungwirth welcomed a child.

Louis has yet to comment on the death of his beloved mother, but fans have flocked to social media to show their support.

“#RIPJohannah” is currently the number one trending topic on Twitter.

Among those offering condolences was Liam Payne’s girlfriend, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini:

“@Louis_Tomlinson my heart breaks for you. I am so sorry,” she wrote.

“My thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this incredibly tragic time.”

“So sad, she was so beautiful and gave birth to legends.. actually heartbroken #RIPJohannah,” tweeted one fan.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with Louis and his family right now. Heaven gained a beautiful, kind angel. #RIPJohannah,” wrote another.

Louis Tomlinson: Briana Jungwirth Won"t Let Me See My Son!

Back in January, Louis Tomlinson welcomed his first son.

To the surprise of many, Tomlinson and baby mama Briana Jungwirth didn’t have a custody or child support agreement in place at the time little Freddie entered the world.

That changed quickly, because Louis and Briana are not in fact superhumans who are capable of amicably co-parenting without a piece of paper in place. 

Sources say the Tomlinson-Jungwirth custody battle briefly got ugly, but was quickly ironed out.

Louis agreed to pay Briana $ 15,000 per month in child support and grant her primary physical custody of Freddie.

Now, however, it seems the former couple may be headed back to court, as Briana is reportedly not holding up her end of the bargain.

According to TMZ, Louis believes Briana has been “inconsistent” with regard to letting him see his son on a regular basis.

He now wants joint physical custody and a “50/50” share of Freddie’s time. 

Yes, unlike an unfortunate number of dads in their early twenties, Louis is doing everything he can to be a bigger part of his son’s life.

If millions of Directioners weren’t already swooning for the lad, they certainly are now.

Tomlinson has already rented a $ 1 million house in Calabasas for Briana and Freddie so that he can visit or pick the boy up as often as possible.

But to hear his lawyers tell it, even with that arrangement, Jungwirth isn’t making it easy enough for Louis to see his son.

We’d hate to see another ugly custody battle, but unfortunately, these situations usually only go in one direction.

See what we did there?

Danielle Campbell Topless Pics Leak, Louis Tomlinson Reacts with Outrage

Louis Tomlinson may have a very pretty face.

But the singer was forced to react to a very ugly development this week.

Early on Thursday, TMZ posted numerous pictures of Tomlinson on a Mexican vacation with girlfriend Danielle Campbell. They were either at a private residence or on a yacht, it was not clear.

But this much was very clear:

A photographer managed to capture shots of a shirtless Tomlinson taking off the bikini top of Campbell, who proceeded to sit around topless.

Yes, TMZ censored Campbell’s nipples with tiny black marks, but the damage was done and the outrage was strong across the Internet.

The hashtag #RespectDanielle started to trend on Twitter, as many were reminded of how Justin Bieber nude pics also sprung up last year while the artist was on vacation.

“I just woke up to those pictures of Danielle and I’m offended that TMZ was okay with taking them #RespectDanielle,” wrote one Twitter users, while another added:

“danielle deserves privacy over her body. those pictures are disgusting.”

Random Internet people were not the only people pissed off, however.

Tomlinson summarized his feelings with a simple Tweet yesterday that read:

“The privacy laws are f-cked up.”

The brief straightforward message was accompanied by an angry-face emoji.

This actually marks the first public comment either Tomlinson or Campbell have made about their relationship.

The artist and the actress have been together for several months, with things heating up to the point where there’s talk of a Tomlinson and Campbell engagement.

This also marks the end of a very bad week for Danielle Campbell.

SPOILER ALERT, but her character of Davina was killed off The Originals Season 3 last Friday.

She still gets to go home to Louis Tomlinson and wake up next to Louis Tomlinson and have sex with Louis Tomlinson… so we can’t feel too badly for her.

But still. This sucks.

Louis Tomlinson, Briana Jungwirth Respond to Fake Baby Rumors

It’s been three months since Briana Jungwirth gave birth to her and Louis Tomlinson’s first child.

In that time, and throughout the pregnancy that preceded it, the expected controversies circulated online, with many fans dismissing Jungwirth as a gold-digger and opportunist. 

She and Louis probably saw that coming – but we highly doubt they expected this latest mini-scandal:

Apparently there’s a growing contingent of One Direction fans online who believe that Briana’s baby is fake.

That’s right – they think she pretended to be pregnant, and now she’s posting very few photos of the baby because he doesn’t exist!

As for whether or not Louis is in on the plot, theories vary: 

Some fans think he helped coordinate the world’s most needlessly elaborate prank, others think he was somehow fooled by Briana, and has been…raising a fake baby for the last three months?

We’re not really clear on the details of that theory, but in any event, Briana and Louis have attempted to clear things up with the above photo that shows Jungwirth holding 3-month-old Freddie.

“You’ve changed my life for the better. I love you with my whole heart.”

We guess it worked, as the comments section is already flooded with #FreddieIsReal hashtags.

Yes, 1D fans still take everything very, very seriously.

Briana Jungwirth and Louis Tomlinson: Custody Battle Ahead!

1D singer Louis Tomlinson believes that Briana Jungwirth, his pretty baby mama, has gotten greedy and is using their son as collateral.

According to Tomlinson, Jungwirth is not letting him see their kid … and is has nothing to do with Louis trying to bang Perrie Edwards.

Or the Briana Jungwirth sex tape, for that matter. But anyway …

To hear him tell it, the couple’s one-month-old son, Freddie Reign, is being used as leverage to score Briana a much bigger payday.

Even though the two dated only briefly and were not even together at the time the pregnancy went public, it’s a surprising turn of events.

Louis recently got Briana a three-bedroom home in Calabasas, while he’s renting one in L.A. to be close to and help co-parent Freddie. 

TMZ says he hasn’t even gotten a DNA test because he believes there’s no doubt he’s the dad, as they dated exclusively, albeit briefly.

In other words, it all seemed as amicable as you could hope for.

No longer. He is taking her to court over custodial rights – more significant access to his son – which he’s apparently not getting now.

Stay tuned … for the next episode of 1D baby mama drama.

Louis Tomlinson Shares Precious "Lad and Dad" Photo

Louis Tomlinson nearly melted down Instagram on Friday night.

The handsome One Direction member went shirtless for his latest social media photo, but such an appearance was actually not what had buzzing for a change.

Instead of staring at Tomlinson’s bare torso, followers were mesmerized by Tomlinson’s arms.

Or, specifically, what was in those arms: the singer’s precious little baby!!!!

Using the adorable caption “Lad and Dad,” the artist posted the above snapshot to Instagram, giving supporters their second look at son Freddie.

The child, of course, was born in late January to Louis and his ex-lover, Briana Jungwirth.

In just over one hour, the photo garnered over 578,000 Likes and more than 91,000 comments from devoted One Direction fans, with one summing it up perfectly.

“Omg, that’s too cute,” this user wrote.

And we totally agree.

We’d also like to think that Tomlinson was doing his baby mama a solid by sharing this picture and distracting everyone from a rumor that’s been making its way around the Internet.

We honestly have no idea whether or not a Briana Jungwirth sex tape exists and we really don’t care.

We just hope this young woman is getting enough sleep and is enjoying the miraculous bliss of motherhood.

Louis Tomlinson: Engaged to Danielle Campbell?!?

Those who watch The Originals online and/or on television have not seen Danielle Campbell on screen for a few weeks.

And now we may know why: she’s planning her wedding to Louis Tomlinson!

Possibly!

The One Direction singer, of course, recently underwent one significant life change, welcoming his first child into the world when ex-lover Briana Jungwirth gave birth to a boy named Freddie.

But Movie News Guide lists five reasons why Tomlinson may have also made another major decision of late, proposing to Campbell after just a few months of dating.

What makes the website light the fire under this rumor? Consider…

Tomlinson and Campbell walked hand in hand around Los Angeles last month, looking lovingly at each other.

Soon after Christmas, the singer and the actress were seen flirting and making out big time during a vacation at the French Alps.

Since the beginning of December, the famous couple has hinted that they are in a serious relationship. They have been spotted together bonding over ice cream in Chicago and also taking their dogs for a walk.

Fans captured Tomlinson giving Campbell a kiss after she dropped him off at the airport around the holidays late last year.

A video went viral that depicted the couple singing Happy Birthday to the cousin of Danielle.

So… yeah. That’s it.

Those are the reasons why some folks believe Louis Tomlinson is engaged to Danielle Cambell.

Go ahead and believe this rumor if you’d like.

Louis Tomlinson: Did He Demand DNA Test of Newborn?

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!

Louis Tomlinson Baby Photo, Name: REVEALED!

It’s official: 

A member of One Direction has one VERY cute little son.

A few days after former lover Briana Jungwirth gave birth to his first child, Louis Tomlinson has shared both a photo of his bundle of joy online and also the tyke’s name with Instagram followers.http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2016/01/louis-tomlinson-tweets-about-new-amazing-son/

“Meet my little lad, Freddie,” Tomlinson captioned the father-son picture above.

Those sounds you now hear are millions of young women around the world either squealing with joy or screaming in anger over Tomlinson being the father of someone else’s child.

The artist also implied that Freddie will be taking his surname Tomlinson, sweetly referring to the child as “Freddie Tommo” in a Tweet.

Jungwirth, meanwhile, posted her own snapshot of her baby boy, writing as a caption to the following beautiful image:

“1/21/16. Freddie Reign. Love of my life.”

By most accounts, Tomlinson and Jungwirth didn’t know each other all too well when they got together and made Freddie in bed.

But these kinds of mistakes happen and Tomlinson has certainly not shied away from his responsibility as a father.

“I’m pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday,” Tomlinson Tweeted last week. “He is healthy and pretty amazing. I’m very happy!!”

And this was not just lip service, an insider close to the handsome star tells People Magazine.

“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.”

Louis Tomlinson Tweets About New, "Amazing" Son

A member of 1D is now a one-time dad.

As previously reported, Louis Tomlinson welcomed a son into the world on last week after former lover Briana Jungwirth gave birth to a boy.

But while multiple outlets reported this news on Friday, it wasn’t until the following day when the artist himself confirmed the blessing via social media.

“I’m pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday :),” Tomlinson wrote on Twitter early Saturday, in what marked his first public comment about the child’s birth.

The handsome singer added:

“He is healthy and pretty amazing I’m very happy!!”

Jungwirth is yet to say anything about the birth, while no details are known regarding the child’s name or measurements.

News of Tomlinson and Jungwirth expecting a child together stunned the One Direction universe back in July.

The singer had very little to say about a baby that was almost definitely not planned (he and Jungwirth were not dating at the time this news broke), but did later tell Good Morning America over the summer:

“Obviously it’s a very exciting time, so I’m buzzing.”

Tomlinson’s fellow One Direction band mates, meanwhile, have also remained mum about the tiny human being… although Harry Styles appeared to post a celebratory tweet over the weekend.

“Flowers all around,” he wrote late on Friday.

We concur!

Louis Tomlinson Welcomes Baby Boy!

It’s a boy for Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth!

People magazine is reporting that the One Direction heartthrob welcomed his first child earlier this week in Los Angeles.

Fans of the wildly popular boy band were shocked to learn that Tomlinson and Jungwirth were expecting when the news was first reported back in July.

The new parents have been tight-lipped about the nature of their relationship, but by all appearances, Tomlinson and Jungwirth are not dating, but do have an amicable relationship.

Insiders say the longtime friends should have no trouble amicably co-parenting.

The most recent reports on Tomlinson’s love life had him dating Danielle Campbell, star of the CW series The Originals.

“Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother,” a source tells People.

“It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer.”

Tomlinson has not yet spoken publicly about the arrival, but his stepfather, Mark Tomlinson, coyly confirmed the news via a tweet reading, “Is that the patter of tiny feet?”

As 1D is on hiatus at the moment, Tomlinson should have plenty of time to spend with his new bundle of joy. Cograts to Louis and Briana!

Louis Tomlinson: Cheating on Briana Jungwirth With Danielle Campbell?!

It’s been five months since we learned that Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth are expecting a baby, but after all that time, we’re still not clear on what’s going on with their relationship.

We’ve heard reports that Louis and Briana are living together, but we’ve also heard they’re just friends with baby-making benefits.

Whatever the case, Louis has apparently Briana left behind to pursue a relationship with The Originals actress Danielle Campbell (above right).

Several sources have claimed that Louis is cheating on Briana with Danielle, but for that to be true, Louis and Briana would have to be dating, and all signs seem to indicate that they are not.

For example, Louis and Danielle have reportedly been spotted on several dates at pap-friendly hot spots in and around Hollywood. That’s not the behavior of a couple that’s trying to keep things on the down-low.

If these two were trying to keep from being found out, they’d probably go to Louis’ flat, watch The Originals online, have a spot of tea and then shag.

Are we doing this British slang thing correctly?

Anyway, are Louis and Danielle gettin’ it on? Probably. Is Louis cheating? Probably not? Does Briana care? Almost certainly not, so long as those massive child support checks arrive when they’re supposed to.

Liam Payne & Louis Tomlinson: Fighting on Stage! WATCH!

Following the departure of Zayn Malik, fans of 1D were hoping there would be no further strife within the band.

Unfortunately, footage from a concert in Manchester over the weekend had thousands of fans concerned that strife within the band could lead to the long-rumored breakup of One Direction.

As you can see, the video above appears to show Liam Payne offering some harsh words to his bandmate Louis Tomlinson before giving him a quick shove.

Fortunately, witnesses say Liam and Louis were just horsing around and the shove may have looked harsh, it"s just how the boys pass the time on stage.

We don"t blame them. They"ve gotta be sinck of hearing Harry belt out that solo.

Louis Tomlinson‘s certainly not letting his impending fatherhood get in the way of his good time!

In the wee hours of Thursday morn, the One Direction member was spotted out with his bandmates, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, at the Cirque De Soir nightclub in London following their concert at the O2 Arena.

Now, we can’t blame the 23-year-old for wanting to celebrate the final show for the boyband’s London leg of their On The Road Again world tour — but we are curious about the gaggle of women he left with just before 3:30 a.m.!

Is it just us or did the daddy-to-be look a tad disheveled while leaving the hotspot?! LOLz!

We have a feeling baby momma Briana Jungwirth won’t be too thrilled by this behavior. Though the twosome claim they’re simply just friends — fans went into a frenzy when they saw the stylist at one of Louis’ shows last week!

Still, it might take some time to adjust to his new, responsible lifestyle since it was only last month that the British cutie officially confirmed that he was going to be a father.

You might as well get your kicks in now Louis, because you’re about to have some sleepless nights ahead of you! HA!

Let us know if you EVER need parenting tips — we’d be happy to be of help.
