One Direction's Louis Tomlinson may be up all night very soon.

You have to remember to breathe, but People reports that the 23-year-old is expecting a child with his friend, stylist Briana Jungwirth.

Tomlinson broke up with his longterm girlfriend Eleanor Calder earlier this year, and shippers (Directioners who believe Harry Styles is his one true love) took this as a sign that love had conquered all. Now they hope the duo will co-parent the child.

But seems that Louis has been enjoying the single life and isn't settling down just because he's going to be a dad. “Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother," a friend of the couple reportedly told People. "It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer.”

Tomlinson can't be that surprised, though. He predicted his future as a father all the way back in 2012 on April Fool's Day.

Can't believe I'm going to be a Dad! Wow!!— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) April 1, 2012

Teenagers and adult Directioners worldwide are freaking out over the news and contributing the sort of dad jokes that Tomlinson himself will soon be making.
