5SOS's Ashton on Louis Tomlinson baby reports: 'He'll step up to the challenge'

Earlier this week, news swept the web that One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is expecting his first child with Briana Jungwirth and while nothing official has been either confirmed or denied at this point, his 5 Seconds Of Summer tour buddy Ashton Irwin thinks it's a blessing. 

Drummer Ashton Irwin told The Sun newspaper that if the reports are true, he believes Tomlinson would make a fantastic father who would provide for his child in all kinds of ways:

“It’s a beautiful thing. Childbirth is awesome. If it came from a one night thing, who cares? The way it’s being dealt with is cool. The kid’s being brought into a great position. He’s never going to be hard up. He’s going to brought up in a loving situation. Louis will step up to the challenge.”

One Direction's current opening act, Icona Pop, also recently told Billboard that they would be so excited for Tomlinson if he were to become a father: "Oh my God, congrats to him. We are happy for him if he's happy. We are very good nannies. We love babies. We don't have time for kids... We borrow kids."

Pressparty reached out to One Direction's team upon hearing the baby reports, but a representative for the boyband told us "no comment".
