Louis is making a BIG effort with his pregnant former love interest

He's yet to confirm or deny the swirling baby rumours – but Louis Tomlinson is certainly making a BIG effort with former love-interest Briana Jungwirth. 

Briana, 23, is an LA-based stylist and is reportedly 12 weeks' pregnant with the One Direction star's first child.

She is said to be suffering from severe morning sickness at the moment.

The duo went on several dates in May, though they are no longer in a relationship.

And it has now emerged that 23-year-old Louis recently left the band's On The Road Again tour to fly to LA to spend time with Briana and her family – including her mum. 

TMZ, which also carries images of the outing, says Louis and Briana, along with her mum and little brother, spent the afternoon hanging out in West Hollywood.

There they even cosied up to the same chimp that had appeared in One Direction's Steal My Girl video.

The musician later posted a snap to Instagram, saying he had been "reunited with an old friend".

Mail Online has reported that the singer's mother, Johannah Deakin, and step-father, Dan, have already met Briana's parents: mum Tammi Clark, 47, and stepfather Brett.

An insider claims the two families happily enjoyed a July 4 weekend together getting to know one another and chatting about the future.

 

Lottie Tomlinson, Louis's sister, is also currently in LA.

Johannah is a midwife and a mother of seven. She only gave birth to twins, Ernest and Doris, in February last year but this will be her first grandchild. 

Meanwhile, in contrast to Mr Tomlinson's large clan, Briana has just one sibling: a younger half brother, nine-year-old Austin, whom Louis has been hanging out with.

 

Mail Online furthermore says that Johannah and Dan travelled to California again to attend Ms Jungwirth's most recent appointment and scan.

"They all saw the ultrasound together and heard the baby's heart beat for the first time," the website states.

And while it may not have worked out with Briana, a source told PEOPLE this week that Mr Tomlinson has vowed to be at Ms Jungwirth’s side throughout her pregnancy and really wants to be a “hands-on dad” when the baby arrives early next year.
