So you might've heard the news: One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson is reportedly going to be a dad.
As you can imagine, a lot of his fans aren't taking it well:
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN LOUIS IS GONNA BE A DAD
And some just don't believe it at all:
''Louis Tomlinson Is Going to Be a Dad! One Direction Star Expecting Baby with Briana Jungwirth''
Sorry to break it to you but it looks like it's true. How do we know this? Well, Simon Cowell said so.
In an interview with The Sun, Simon said he spoke with Louis:
"I said to him, 'You man up. You're fortunate because you're in a position to be able to look after the baby and not worry too much about that.'
But I also told him, 'I've received bad calls in my life but this is not one of them. This is your business but I'm here for you'."
Yep. That sounds pretty official. He also responded to people who are talking about the news in a negative light:
"He didn't kill anyone. He got someone pregnant. It happens every day all over the world. Again, Louis has got great family around him and, look, it's a plus, not a negative."
Ah, just in case — congrats, Louis!
