Is Louis Tomlinson having a baby with Briana Jungwirth?

News reports and Twitter are claiming that One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is set to become a dad for the first time.

The 23-year-old, who split with ex-girlfriend Eleanor Calder back in March, is thought to have made a baby with LA-based Briana Jungwirth, who he met a few months ago via mutual friends.

HOWEVER, and this is a very big however, which is why we put it in capital letters, there's still currently no confirmation whatsoever from Louis' people about whether this is true, with his representatives saying "no comment" when asked about the rumours by the Mail Online.

MORE NEWS!

Here's what we do know. The people at, erm, People.com have an insider source, who told them: "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.

"They are both really happy and although they aren't in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby. It's early days and Briana and the baby's health are the most important things right now" the source added.

Meanwhile, The Sun have splashed this on the front cover of tomorrow's paper:

What else do we know? Well, there's a Briana Jungwirth Twitter account that's racking up a huge following since the reports claiming she's the mother of Louis' baby emerged. However, *heat's *news hounds are pretty sure that it's not a genuine account. So just ignore it, yeah?

So that's everything we know for now. There's no definite confirmation that Louis is about to become a dad, but we certainly hope he is, maybe the little babus can fill the Zayn-shaped void in 1D?
