Meanwhile, fellow 'Night Changes' hitmaker Liam Payne previously admitted he was "shocked" when he found out Louis was going to be a father.

He said: "Well obviously I was a bit shocked but he's taken super well to it. And he's very excited with what's going on with him at the moment and I feel that stuff like that happens sometimes ... He's taking it very seriously."

Of Briana, Liam added: "Yeah she's really nice, she's a lovely girl."

Meanwhile, a source previously claimed that Louis has "real feelings" for Briana.

They said: "There are very real feelings there. It's not just about the baby.

"Louis is sacrificing all his spare time to see her. They spent last Sunday together after he made a whirlwind stop in LA during what was a rare day off for the band. And they spent the entire Fourth of July weekend together meeting each other's families."
