Louis Tomlinson shared the first snap of his newborn baby boy to his 21.3 million Twitter followers Wednesday evening.
The One Direction singer can be seen cradling his son, whom he named Freddie, on his bare chest in the back and white photo. "Meet my little lad, Freddie," he wrote in the post.
Tomlinson then went on to thank his fans for all the "nice messages."
The 24-year-old boybander and his 23-year-old American stylist friend Briana Jungwirth welcomed Freddie into the world on Friday, Jan. 22 at a hospital in Los Angeles, as HNGN previously reported.
Reports of Tomlinson becoming a father for the first time first broke in July 2015. He and Jungwirth met through a mutual friend and did not get involved in a romantic relationship at the time.
Tomlinson publicly confirmed the reports during an appearance on "Good Morning America," where he and his bandmates - Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Harry Styles - were promoting their latest single, the first since Zayn Malik left the group.
