One Direction stole hearts across the globe during the boy band’s heyday from 2010 to 2016. Toward the end of 1D’s sensational run, a member of the group was the first to become a father. Recently, a rare video of Louis Tomlinson‘s son Freddie showed he is the spitting image of his famous dad.
Louis and stylist Briana Jungwirth welcomed a baby boy, Freddie Reign Tomlinson, on January 21, 2016. The singer took to Twitter to announce the big news. “I’m pleased to say my baby son was born yesterday,” he wrote the next day. “He is healthy and pretty amazing. I’m very happy!!” Since then, Louis and Briana have had shared custody of their son.

Louis' son Freddie appeared in a recent video from Louis' sister.
In late October, Louis’ twin sisters, Phoebe and Daisy Tomlinson, posted a video on TikTok that included a snippet of Freddie. The twins recently visited Los Angeles, where they spent time with their nephew.
“Spend the day in L.A. with me,” Daisy said in the clip. “So, Olive woke up at 6 a.m., so I gave her a little bottle. Then me, Phoe, Freddie, and Rach headed out to Pinkberry.”
It was brief, but Freddie's sweet face popped into the frame at one point.
Daisy showed shots of her toddler daughter, Olive, tasting a bite of frozen yogurt. After their sweet treat, the group walked around a bit — and that’s when Freddie was visible in the video. The 8-year-old carried what looked like an instant camera, looked directly at the camera, and then continued walking.
In the comments, fans thought Freddie was basically Louis' twin.
One Direction fans couldn’t get over how much Freddie resembles his famous dad. One TikTok user wrote, “freddy is definitely louis twin🥹.”
Another agreed, declaring, “Freddie is a mini louis😍😍,” while someone else commented, “Tomlinson genes are so strong, I love 😭😍.”
Meanwhile, a different TikTok user wrote, “Thanks for this. Sweet to share as we all need some peace💜💜🌹🎸.”

Freddie looking like his dad was undeniable, but others commented on how much the 8-year-old had grown.
“Freddie is getting so tall 🥹,” one person wrote, as another commented, “Freddie got so big 🥹😍.”
“These kids grow up so fastt😭,” someone else lamented.
Meanwhile, a different TikTok user predicted, “Watch Freddie get taller than Louis 😂.”
Following Liam Payne's death, Louis offered to serve as an 'uncle' to his son, Bear.
On October 16, Liam died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina. Louis took to Instagram with a touching tribute to his One Direction bandmate, and in doing so, he mentioned Liam’s 7-year-old son. “I want you to know that if Bear ever needs me I will be the Uncle he needs in his life and tell him stories of how amazing his dad was,” Louis wrote in part.
