A source said: 'The five-bed property he has chosen – and the house for Briana and her family – are perfect for them to bring up the baby together, even if they are no longer in a romantic relationship.'

Louis and his former fling welcomed their son, who was rumoured to be called Sydney Rain, on Friday January 22.

A friend of Louis told the MailOnline the former X Factor contestant is planning to be a hands-on dad and support his ex in any way he can.

The pal said: 'Although they're not romantically involved, Louis thinks Briana is a great woman and will be a fabulous mother. Louis has been helping Briana financially and is prepared to get stuck in with all the tasks that caring for a baby demands.'

Meanwhile, new reports claim that Louis nearly missed the birth of his son.

The British heartthrob reportedly had to spend most of the time sitting in his car while she was in labour, following an argument with her parents.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Briana's mother Tammi went berserk at him in the hospital. He spent a lot of the time she was in labour sat in his car because Tammi wouldn't let him near Briana. 

'He's looked after her very well but Tammi feels it's not enough. They are trying to work out a custody deal.'

However, a representative for Louis has told MailOnline that he was most certainly present for the birth. 

'This story is absolutely not true and Louis was by Briana's side the whole time in delivery room for the birth,' the spokesperson said. 

Confirming the little one's birth last week, he tweeted: ‘I'm pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday :) He is healthy and pretty amazing :) I'm very happy!! (sic).’

The British star indicated he was relishing his new-found fatherhood as he added: 'Daddy daddy cool,' moments later.

And as if his happiness wasn't evident enough, he followed his latest comment up with three smiley faces which appeared as ':) :) :)', on his personal account.

While fellow One Direction band-member Harry Styles appeared to be congratulating his pop pal with a tweet which read: 'Flowers all round,' the other boys - Niall Horan and Liam Payne - are yet to congratulate Louis on his happy news on social media.
