Louis Tomlinson finally broke his silence about all those rumors

 
Well, it finally happened. During a television appearance with the rest of One Direction earlier this morning, Louis Tomlinson was asked a direct question about the baby news heard 'round the world, and he couldn't avoid addressing it any longer. 

While we've been patiently waiting, onwdering and crossing our fingers that we'd have a final answer about the rumors soon, Louis has been keeping quiet, but during a pit stop on their tour, the boys swung by Good Morning America to promote their new single, "Drag Me Down," and answer a few questions about everything that's been going on.

Talk turned to Zayn Malik first, and what it's been like for the band now that they've been working on and sharing new music as a foursome. "It's different," Liam Payne answered. "When you lose a member of your team, obviously everyone gets a little bit closer together." The boys were also asked about their upcoming fifth studio album, and talked about finding inspiration from older artists like The Police.

The moment that had fans holding their breath, though? GMA host Michael Strahan telling Louis, "From one father to another, I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood." Though Simon Cowell addressed the rumors in an interview, and Liam talked about Louis's baby news just the other day on the radio, this was the first time we were seeing Louis directly address the rumors, and when he was asked, "How are you feeling?" Louis responded, "Obviously it's avery exciting time, so I'm buzzing, thank you."

If you were waiting for Louis to chime in, Directioners, that was it: Louis is officially going to be a dad, and he couldn't be more thrilled. It's no surprise that he's all smiles, though—in addition to becoming a father, he's also just dropped a single with his band that shot to #1 on the charts in 86 different countries, not to mention the sold out stadium tour and album he's working on now with his band.

Though fans were worried that Louis's baby news wold interfere with the band's next album, we're psyched to see that the band are still ready to make more music, and that Louis is ready for both.

Congratulations, Louis!
