One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has introduced his son Freddie to the world via social media.
The 24-year-old thanked his 21.3 million followers for their support in Twitter posts on Wednesday.
Meet my little lad, Freddie 👶 pic.twitter.com/nec7OqwuQR

The black and white photo of the singer holding his son was accompanied by the words: “Meet my little lad, Freddie.”
Briana Jungwirth, the mother of the wee one, also shared a snap on her Instagram account.
Looking remarkably glamorous, her post was accompanied with the words, “Freddie Reign. Love of my life”.
Louis appeared to suggest the newborn will have his surname, tweeting “Freddie Tommo”.

The tweet has been retweeted and liked hundreds of thousands of times – and One Direction fans, dubbed ‘Directioners’, even picked up on former 1D member Zayn Malik giving it the thumbs up.
