In mid-July, word got out that one of the 4 remaining members of One Direction, Louis Tomlinson, was expecting a child with an LA stylist named Briana Jungwirth. The news came as a huge shock for the millions of One Directioners (the fans), because until then, no one knew these 2 were dating.

And they weren’t. The report, which came out in People Magazine, stressed that they were not a couple but had already agreed to go forward with the pregnancy. Louis, apparently, was thrilled that he was going to be a dad and had been by Briana’s side every step of the way.

Some hours ago, One Direction stopped by GMA in New York City to perform, and Michael Strahan flat-out asked Louis about his feelings on becoming a father for the first time. He also congratulated him, “from one father to another,” as you can see in the video below, past the 2.30-minute mark.

“Thank you. Obviously it’s a very exciting time, so I’m buzzing,” Louis said smiling.

While this should be enough to convince fans that, indeed, he is getting ready for fatherhood, reactions on social media have been mixed. Apparently, some diehard One Directioners will only believe the surprise pregnancy rumor when the baby is born.
