Louis Tomlinson of One Direction has shared the first picture of his newborn son Freddie online. Despite previous reports that the baby was to be named Sydney Rain, Tomlinson set the record straight by sharing a black and white photo of himself holding his son with the accompanying words- “Meet my little lad, Freddie.”
The 24-year old thanked his 21.3 million fans for their support in Twitter posts.

Although it hasn’t been confirmed whose surname the baby will have, if Louis’ message is anything to go by it will most likely take his. The tweet he shared simply said “Freddie Tommo” before following with “Thank you so much for the all nice messages.”

Tomlinson briefly dated Freddie’s mother, stylist Briana Jungwirth, in May 2015 after he broke up with his long-term girlfriend Eleanor Calder. They are not currently dating but Tomlinson has relocated to LA to be closer to Briana and Freddie.
