Louis Tomlinson found 'great step mommy' for son Freddie

Louis Tomlinson may have found the ideal stepmother for his nine-year-old son, Freddie Reign Tomlinson.

The One Direction singer has set fans buzzing after confirming his new romance with the former Love Island star, following days of swirling rumours.

Just a day after a close friend told The Sun that "Zara is so happy, it’s early days with her and Louis, but everything is going well between them," the Made in Chelsey beauty took herself to Instagram to open up about "best things" in life.

"The best things in life aren’t things [red heart emoji]," she wrote over a video of her playing with a baby girl, believed to be a baby cousin, her Goddaughter or her close friend's daughter by her fans in the comment section.

As admirers flooded her comments section, one user couldn’t help but say, "She’s going to be a great step mommy [heart eyes emoji]" referring to Louis’s nine-year-old son.

The video, which showed Zara bonding with the little one, sparked mixed reactions among Louis’ fans. Some said she would nail the stepmom role, while others opposed her new relationship with Louis.

For the unversed, Tomlinson welcomed his first and only child with Jungwirth on 21 January 2016.

As for his new relationship with Zara, the new chapter in their love life comes just two months after her split from I'm A Celebrity's Sam Thompson, who is reportedly blindsided by the news of the new couple.
