Louis Tomlinson And The ‘Fake’ Baby Rumor That Just Won’t Die
One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is set to become a father for the first time early in the new year. Louis hooked up with Los Angeles-based stylist Briana Jungwirth during the U.S. leg of One Direction’s “On The Road Again” tour, and baby Tomlinson is the result. Tomlinson has remained pretty tight-lipped about his forthcoming fatherhood and about his relationship with Briana, but Louis has confirmed that he is looking forward to fatherhood.
Tomlinson even brought Briana to the UK recently, and she was pictured spending time with Tomlinson’s mother and sister. Briana was sporting a very obvious baby bump as she hung out with Louis’ family at several of One Direction’s UK gigs. As was reported in Inquisitr at the time, Briana looked happy and relaxed as she supported Louis from a VIP area at several shows.
Tomlinson is said to be taking impending fatherhood very seriously. It has been suggested that Louis is buying a home close to where Briana grew up and that he intends for Briana and baby Tomlinson to live there. Reports claim that Louis intends to split his time between L.A. and the UK as he develops his career into new areas after One Direction splits early next year. Louis has already appeared on the UK version of X-Factor, and the Express reports that Tomlinson is getting on board as a full time judge in the next season of the hit show. Tomlinson is also said to be working with Simon Cowell to put together a girl-band for Louis’ new record label.
Despite all the evidence to the contrary, some of Louis’ fans simply refuse to accept that Tomlinson is about to become a father. Ever since rumors began to circulate about Briana’s pregnancy back in July, some fans have insisted that Briana and baby Tomlinson are Louis’ “beard.”
Some One Direction fans, known as “Larry Shippers,” insist that Louis and Harry Styles are in a long standing gay relationship and are prepared to ignore all evidence to the contrary. Styles is usually seen as something of a ladies man and has been linked with dozens of beautiful women, yet some fans insist that it is all a smokescreen designed to cover up Louis and Harry’s “real” sexual orientation. As reported by E! online, some fans even insist that Harry and Louis are using Briana as a surrogate mother so that they can have their own child.
Last week, U.S. based celebrity gossip magazine In Style published a short piece in error on their website. The piece announced that Louis and Briana had become parents but the baby’s birth date, weight and name were all replaced by the letter “TK.” Supposedly some One Direction fans looked at the underlying HTML code for the piece and found hidden details.
“Briana Jungwirth gives birth to a healthy baby girl named Elizabeth Marie Tomlinson! Weighing 8 pounds and 3 ounces, the bundle of joy is to be taken home tomorrow morning.”
Some fans are insisting that this is further evidence that Louis’ impending fatherhood is a hoax designed to hide his gay relationship with Harry Styles. It seems that some of Tomlinson’s fans are ready to believe anything that can be spun to support their views.
Some people are just not ready to accept that Louis Tomlinson is to become a father in much the same way as some people once believed the world was flat.
