What’s up?
It’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver News and while we fell in love with the One Direction
guys when they were still growing up, they’ve now grown up and a few of the fellas have
kids of their own!
So let’s take a dive into the cutest 1D dad moments.
We met Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik when they
were just teenagers.
But now, they’re all in their mid-late 20s and throughout the past few years, Louis,
Liam, and Zayn all welcomed children of their own.
And while Harry and Niall aren’t parents just yet, they have been honorary uncles to
the 1D babies.
Niall even told The Sun that he got Liam’s son a set of golf clubs and a pair of little
Nike Air Max.
How cute!
But today, we’re here to talk about some adorable Directioner dad moments.
Louis was the first One Direction member to become a dad back in 2016.
His son’s name is Freddie Reign and Freddie’s mom is a stylist named Briana Jungwirth, who
Louis dated briefly in 2015.
While for the most part, Louis is private about his relationship with his son, Briana
on the other hand often shares photos of their now 5-year-old boy.
And he’s seriously a spitting image of his dad!
But while Louis doesn’t share as many of these moments on social media, when he does,
they’re super sweet.
Back in 2017, he shared this pic of Freddie.
You know what they say, start ‘em young!
Who knows, maybe he’ll have a music career like his dad one day!
Louis has also shared quite a few pics of him and his son holding hands.
On Father’s Day as a first time dad, Louis wrote quote, “Happy Father's Day to every
lucky lad out there who's someone's daddy!
Thoroughly enjoyed my first :) Love you Freddie son X”
So much sweetness!
Let’s move on to the second 1D member who became a dad, Liam.
Liam shares his three-year-old son Bear with his ex-girlfriend and fellow artist Cheryl.
The two dated for two and a half years and welcomed their son in 2017 before their split
in 2018.
And like Louis, Liam keeps his relationship with Bear off social media for the most part.
Liam shares occasional sweet posts, calling his son “his world.”
He’s also adorably started teaching him the music ropes at a young age as well.
And they have matching Yeezys.
Adorable, I know.
But funny enough, one of Liam’s cutest moments as a dad was actually with someone else’s
son.
When some lucky fans happened to run into Liam just a few months after Bear was born,
he showed off his sweet dad skills and said how excited he was for his son to be a toddler.
“How’s it going nice to meet ya?
I can’t wait til my own boy gets this big.
I'm so excited.
Do you mind if I hold you for a picture?
Here we go, give us a smile and straighten that shirt.
Ready?”
I mean how cute was that?!
And Bear is getting to be around the age of the boy in the video, he’s already turning
four this March!
Moving on, the latest One Direction member, or rather former member, to become a dad is
Zayn Malik.
Zayn and Gigi Hadid welcomed their daughter in September 2020.
Gigi and Zayn both shared sweet photos of their baby girl’s hand when she was born,
but they refrained from showing her face or revealing her name for the first few months
of her life.
While they still haven’t shown her face, likely to protect her privacy, they did reveal
their daughter’s name.
Earlier this month, Gigi changed her Instagram bio to say Khai’s mom and fans totally freaked
out over the unique, beautiful name.
According to The Evening Standard, the name means "crowned, chosen one, royalty, or nobility."
A name fit for a princess!
But as soon as Gigi revealed Khai’s name, fans took to Twitter to point out a sweet
tribute from Zayn to his daughter.
People were quick to notice that one of Zayn’s tattoos says Khai’s name in Arabic.
Zayn hasn’t confirmed this himself, but fans caught the sweet tribute and are calling
it his “cutest dad moment” yet.
And we just love how much all of the 1D guys love their kiddos.
We can’t wait to see them all grow up and show off those music skills their dads have
been teaching them basically since birth!
