Louis Tomlinson is going to be a father!

The One Direction singer is expecting a child with his friend, Briana Jungwirth. The pair, both 23, met through mutual friends earlier this year.

A friend of the couple stated that they are "both really happy" although "they aren't in a relationship," according to People.

"Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother," the friend said. "It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer."

Jungwirth works as a stylist in Los Angeles. "[She is] absolutely not interested in Louis' fame. She's very private and most of the time they spend together is out of the public eye, just hanging out with their friends," according to the friend.

The "What Makes You Beautiful" singer is looking for a house in Los Angeles so that he can be near Jungwirth during the pregnancy and after, once their baby is born next year.

Tomlinson is currently on the North American leg of One Direction's On the Road Again Tour.
