If you’re a dedicated little Directioner like us, then you heard the rumors that One Direction‘s Louis Tomlinson was going to be a father. News broke weeks ago that Tommo would be a daddy, but it wasn’t confirmed by Louis (not Simon Cowell, not his estranged father, not Liam Payne, but Louis himself) until he and the boys were on Good Morning America. The band was on the show today for #1DonGMA for GMA‘s Summer Concert Series. They obviously went to promote their new (ah-mazing) song “Drag Me Down” but our boy Louis stole the show.
While talking to Michael Strahan, Louis finally confirmed the news we’ve all been waiting WEEKS to hear:
So @Louis_Tomlinson has just confirmed on #GMA that he IS going to be a daddy! #CongratsLouis! http://t.co/jbBAujab8k

And because One Direction fans are the BEST fans, there was a huge outpouring of support:
People are mad at Louis for saying that the baby rumors are true but I’m here being happy for him. Congrats @Louis_Tomlinson #1DonGMA
