Tomlinson gives the example of how he first became famous. Born in Doncaster in he was raised by his mother, Johannah Deakin, and later also by her new partner Mark Tomlinson. He was 16 when he went to his first X Factor audition. Prompt rebuff. A year later he made it into the audition process, but still nowhere near the part where ambitious young singers are briskly embraced or condemned by that great gatekeeper of celebrity, Simon Cowell.
In Tomlinson, twice unlucky, gave the auditions a final try. Then all of a sudden everything changed. To my friends in Doncaster I would always say [getting into the band] was the most incredible thing that happened to me. And it was. But it happened when I was already having the best year of my life.
But there was a price to pay. He says his current efforts as a soloist came about in similar fashion. In , Tomlinson had become a father. He had some other personal matters to work through and in the summer he went on holiday to Las Vegas to blow off steam. In career terms, he had inched off the hill again, without necessarily considering the gradient of the slope.
Tomlinson was booked in to perform it on live TV. Which leads Tomlinson to reason two. And as a self-aware northerner, from a proudly working class family, this has left Tomlinson with residual guilt to answer about wealth and status that do not feel to him fully earned. And I know, I know it sounds ungrateful. Tomlinson says he has already sweated more for this record than any before. And I understand that.
In their One Direction days, no question, Styles got the most attention. The intensity. Tomlinson cannot talk about it with me, not without getting into muddy legal waters, but there was recently a difficult episode involving a small crowd of fans at an airport in LA. He was travelling with his partner, Eleanor Calder, who is viewed with some distrust by the fiercest corps of Louis fans. Video footage seems to show Calder being surrounded and attacked by a group of girls.
Tomlinson, unable to discuss the matter, says to me more generally that he hopes his new music will reveal to fans a more complete version of himself than before. He is healthy and pretty amazing. I'm very happy!! Louis and Briana appeared to have a rocky relationship shortly after their son's birth, with members of both families clashing publicly numerous times [17] [18] [19].
In June , Louis filed for joint custody of Freddie [20] , though any further developments in the case were not published.

Police were also called one week when it appeared Louis had gone missing, but it was found he had gone home to see family without informing anyone. From onward, Louis and bandmate Harry Styles have been the subject of a fan conspiracy theory suggesting they are a closeted gay couple.

They were actually roommates in an apartment block shared with the rest of One Direction, just before the band's debut single was released. Their mothers often tweeted about how close the pair were. Speculation intensified when rumours of Louis dating a woman began to surface. Yours sincerely, Louis". The tweet came shortly after Louis was confirmed to be dating Eleanor Calder.
Many fans believed it signified he and Harry had been forcibly closeted. Past boy bands had closeted gay members who hid their sexuality, for fear of angering heterosexual female fans. Louis's tweet to Harry is currently the fifth most retweeted of all time with 2. Neither Harry or Louis have ever addressed the tweet.

Zayn Malik and Liam, and eventually Eleanor all came to Louis's defence during a particularly nasty spat [24]. In , The Wanted split up and blamed the bad publicity from their rivalry with One Direction as the reason they called it quits.
Zayn can be heard criticizing One Direction's official merchandise, saying both the band and the fans are sick of shallow products solely catering solely to a young audience, and wishing they could do more artistic ventures. Louis can allegedly be heard uttering several racial slurs throughout the video, but it is widely speculated by fans that he was merely addressing the driver "Nick" when the recording cut off. Neither Louis or Zayn have ever publicly addressed the video but Liam took to Twitter a few days after it surfaced to apologize for them.
In November, Louis lashed out on Twitter at a journalist who wrote an article about a rainbow Apple logo shirt he had recently worn [25].
The journalist interpreted this as a sign of support for Apple CEO Tim Cook who had come out as gay the previous week. Louis appeared to interpret the article as speculating on his own sexuality and tweeted "I am in fact straight!
After his break-up with longtime girlfriend Eleanor in February, Louis was seen partying frequently in the US and the UK while on tour. The report went viral worldwide, as Louis was the first member of the band to become a father.

Weeks later, Liam uploaded video of a bad karaoke singer captioned "New replacement member" to Instagram. Naughty Boy responded with a picture of Zayn captioned "Replace this". Louis proceeded to insult the filter Naughty Boy used on the image.
More insults were exchanged from both, and Zayn eventually tweeted Louis: "Remember when you had a life instead of making bitchy comments about mine? Both spats made worldwide headlines [26]. Zayn cut all ties with Naughty Boy in July Harry and Louis began to interact regularly again as of Louis stated Zayn's departure from the band brought the four remaining members closer together. In November , Louis strongly hinted in various Made in the A. Louis debuted his son on Instagram a few days later.
Zayn liked a picture of Louis with his son Freddie, and, when questioned by media, said they were not friends at the moment but liking the tweet was the least he could do.
Louis began to publicly date Danielle while Briana was pregnant. Several online derogatory comments were made from various family members of Briana's. Many fans of the theory considered the pregnancy to be a further "trap" devised by Syco, to force Louis into the closet permanently. This is a difficult time for Briana. This baby should be the focus here In February, it was reported that Briana temporarily banned Louis from seeing Freddie , claiming that girlfriend Danielle was interfering with crucial mother-son bonding time.
A custody battle ensued with a temporary settlement put in place a few days later. As of April , these rumors have been laid to rest by a rep from TMZ saying the story was untrue, despite TMZ breaking it in the first place [28].
Briana's cousin, Ashley, inadvertently confirmed tension regarding Danielle, calling Louis's relationship with her "disrespectful" to Briana.
