Louis Tomlinson breaks cover as he's pictured for the first time since Briana Jungwirth's 'pregnancy revealed' as he's boards private jet

Louis Tomlinson was pictured for the first time since it was revealed he is 'set to become a father'.

The singer, 23, was seen boarding a private jet from Los Angeles California to Seattle, Washington, on Wednesday with his One Direction bandmates.

Arriving on the tarmac, the Doncaster-native made a swift beeline for the plane and didn't look back, perhaps keen to keep a low-profile following the recent interest in his personal life.

Louis was flying to Seattle ahead of the four-piece's gig on their On The Road Again tour date later that evening.

Wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and red hoodie, Liam looked rather serious as he headed into the plane, perhaps feeling under pressure following the past 24 hours. 

Following close behind Louis was his bandmate Liam Payne, who appeared in high spirits as he joked with one of their entourage.

The group were spotted as bandmate Niall Horan broke their collective social media silence of recent days by tweeting: 'SEATTLE ! You ready! Good to be back ! Home of a few of my favourite bands ever.'

His flight came 24 hours after it was revealed Louis was reportedly set to become a father with 'close friend' Briana Jungswirth.

Louis and Briana, both 23, are set to become parents early in the new year following a brief romance in May.

At the time, the pair were spotted on a series of nightclub dates in Los Angeles.

It is believed Briana is around 11 weeks pregnant and Louis has accompanied her to medical visits regarding the baby.

The MailOnline revealed exclusively how Louis's mother Johannah Deakin – who has seven children including Louis – met Californian stylist Briana Jungwirth earlier this month.

Jungwirth, 23, lives with her mother, Tammi Clark and stepfather Brett Clark in Calabasas, California.

Johannah travelled with her husband, Dan, to California and both sets of parents attended Briana's most recent medical appointment in Los Angeles.

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

However it's not all celebrations as Briana is having a difficult pregnancy so far, suffering from morning sickness, a severe loss of appetite and is only drinking camomile tea made for her by step-father Brett.

Louis' mum Johannah, a qualified midwife, has been 'a tremendous help' to Briana, according to sources close to the situation.

'Johannah is bursting with pride of having her first grandchild and doesn't want to miss a single moment, which will be quite difficult given the trans-Atlantic distance between where the two families live,' the source said.

A friend told People while the pop star and pretty blonde weren't in a relationship, they remain close friends.

Louis is said to be house-hunting for a place near Briana's Calabasas home so he can be a 'hands-on father' once their child is born.

Tammi, 47, is over the moon about the news she's set to become a grandmother and boasts to friends about her 'One Direction baby' being on the way. 

'Louis is happy and very excited about becoming a dad and he thinks Briana will be an amazing mother. It was a surprise at first, but he and Briana are very, very close friends and this has brought them even closer,' the source has told People.

'They are both really happy and although they aren't in a relationship, their friendship is extremely strong and they are both really excited about the baby. It's early days and Briana and the baby's health are the most important things right now,' adds the friend.

A representative for Louis had 'no comment' on the report when contacted by MailOnline. 

Heartbreak: Eleanor and Louis, pictured in 2013, split in March after four years together

Heartbreak: Eleanor and Louis, pictured in 2013, split in March after four years together

Louis's shock news comes a few months after he split from long-term girlfriend Eleanor Calder following a four year romance. 

According to the People, Louis let Eleanor know before the news became public on Tuesday.

A friend told People: 'Eleanor knows and she's fine.'

The Manchester University graduate, who turns 23 on Thursday, is coincidentally holidaying in Los Angeles - the same place where stylist Briana Jungwirth, the mother of Louis's unborn child, lives.

His split with Eleanor was only made public when he was pictured kissing brunette student Lucy Julian, 20, while on holiday in Thailand in March.

At the time, his rep said: ‘Louis and Eleanor split up two weeks ago. They have not announced this as they wanted some privacy during this time.’

It was also claimed that Eleanor flew 20,000 miles to Australia in a final bid to save her relationship with the star and work through their 'differences'.

Since confirming he was single, Louis has been hitting the party scene hard and has regularly been photographed leaving nightclubs with a variety of pretty women.

In May, Fifth Harmony's Camila Cabello was forced to deny rumours that she was dating Louis.
