This week, rumours began swirling that LA stylist Briana Jungwirth is pregnant with Louis Tomlinson's baby. Although the potential new parents have yet to confirm or deny the reports, Briana's family have now opened up about how she is coping. The pair met earlier this year through mutual friends (image via Instagram).  Speaking to Mail Online, Briana's dad Joe revealed: “The publicity and everything, it can be overwhelming yes. “Briana’s really shy, she’s strong but shy, she’s tough but shy and she’s having a tough time with it, it’s stressing her out right now, she’s texting me all the time." The 23-year-old is described as "strong but shy".  Joe admitted that since Briana has moved out of her mother's house she is coping better, but didn't deny that it takes a bit of getting used to. He said: "It’s a bit of a shock, you know, they’re kids, stuff happens, but I’m supporting her. Louis paid a brief visit to LA before One Direction's Cardiff gig. Briana's stepmum Karen, who also spoke to the publication, revealed her concerns for the 23-year-old stylist. She said: “I’m distressed for all the c**p I’ve read online in the middle of the night. “I just hope all this doesn’t ruin her life, I care about that, we are at the beginning of something and she’s a private person, she’s not a Facebook person or anything like that. “This is really scary for someone in her condition, especially when she’s only 23, I think it’s pretty overwhelming.” Louis split from girlfriend Eleanor Calder in May. Although Louis hasn't addressed the reports, he did take to Twitter this week to post a message to his fans.
