Say hello to Freddie! One Direction's Louis Tomlinson posts photo of newborn son

One Direction fans had mixed reactions to the news that band member Louis Tomlinson was planning to name his newborn son Conchobar (pronounced Connor). In a relief to many, the singer cleared the air with photo posts on Instagram and Twitter introducing his six-day-old son to the world.

"Meet my little lad, Freddie," Tomlinson captioned an adorable black-and-white photo of him with his bundle of joy.

LA stylist and mum Briana Jungwirth also uploaded a photo from the hospital room with the caption, "1/21/16. Freddie Reign. Love of my life".

In a later tweet, the 24-year-old singer indicated that his son would be taking his last name, referring to him as "Freddie Tommo".

Tomlinson announced the birth of his son on 22 January with a Twitter post the next day saying, "I'm pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday :) He is healthy and pretty amazing :) I'm very happy!!"

While Tomlinson and Jungwirth are no longer together, they will share custody of Freddie. The singer has reportedly agreed to pay child support of £10,000 ($14,244) a month.
