Louis Tomlinson 'is quickly learning to be a dad'
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is already a "great dad" to son Freddie, according to his grandfather.
The 24-year-old singer became a first-time father when stylist Briana Jungwirth gave birth to baby Freddie back in January (16). While parenthood wasn't planned this early for the young singer, his grandfather Len Poulston insists he is a natural.
"He's learning very quickly to be a dad," Len told British daytime
news show ITV Calendar. "I mean Louis wants to be a great dad and
he is a great dad and will be a better dad. But it's all a new
learning curve for him."
Despite Louis' worldwide fame, he hasn't shied away from changing
nappies and feeding his son.
Len added Louis has quickly learned to adapt his life to manage a
newborn.
"I see him changing Freddie and feeding Freddie, like we all do and
all have done," he continued. "But it's a new phenomenon for Louis
and he's learning very quickly on his feet."
Luckily Louis has time to concentrate on his new situation, as One
Direction are currently on a hiatus. Despite their boss Simon
Cowell revealing earlier this month (Apr16) he wasn't sure whether
their break from the music industry would turn from temporary to
permanent, Len doesn't think this is the end for the boy band.
"They will come back. Even if it's only to make a lot more money,"
he laughed.
Meanwhile, Len also revealed that his grandson is planning to
donate his prize after winning a competition to design the 2016/7
away shirt for his beloved Doncaster Rovers football team.
The competition was deemed a fix by many fans, with some accusing
the club of choosing Louis as the winner as a "publicity
stunt".
The prize included a holiday to Thailand and the opportunity to see
the shirts he designed being made.
"Louis was never having the prize himself anyway. He's going to put
it back into an auction or whatever, so one of the fans will win,"
Len told BBC Radio 5.
