Who is Louis Tomlinson’s new girlfriend? Actress Danielle Campbell spotted getting cosy with the star

One Direction fans hoping Louis Tomlinson and baby mama Briana Jungwirth will become a couple have had their hopes dashed.

The pop star, who is expecting his first child with the LA stylist in March, is reportedly dating actress Danielle Campbell after the pair were spotted getting cosy on an evening out in LA together.

Pictures later surfaced on Twitter of the pair hugging while getting ice-cream with her and her family in Chicago and they look VERY close.

Twitter account Radio1Direction stated: “Louis had dinner at Kama Indian Bistro with Danielle Campbell and her family, then went to Oberweis to get ice cream!”

Meanwhile, Louis also went to get tattooed at a parlour in Chicago, Illinois on Saturday with her family – showing just how close they’ve become.

The star got an inking on his BUM and on his knuckles with her brother and one fan wrote on Twitter: “Louis and Danielle Campbell’s brother got matching penguin tattoos on their butts lol.”

There have also been signs of Louis, 23, and Danielle, 20, getting close on Snapchat with a pic of the singer in her kitchen and her brother uploading clips at the tattoo parlour.

Fans are going wild on social media and some even think Danielle is the spitting image of Louis’ ex Eleanor Calder, who he dated for almost four years before splitting earlier this year.

Here are six things you need to know about his new love..

1. She’s known Louis for a few months

This month isn’t the first time she has hung out with the One Direction star.

The previously took a selfie with mutual friend and actress, Keelin Woodell, back in November. Was it Keelin who set them up?

2. Her first big role was in Prison Break

Danielle was a child star after being discovered in a hair salon in Chicago and she first appeared in five episodes of the Fox show Prison Break.

She played the daughter of character Susan and was even held hostage by a sexual predator. Pretty heavy stuff.

The youngster also starred in a commercial for Build-A-Bear Workshop.

3. Danielle was a Disney star

Most Disney fans will remember her from the 2010 movie Starstruck, in which she played a fangirl chasing a pop star. Hmmm, is life imitating art?

Danielle also starred as Simone Daniels in the Disney film Prom.

4. Her role in Originals

She might have been a child star but she’s most famous in America for her role in The Originals, a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, and has been in the TV show since 2013.

Danielle portrays the role of a powerful, sixteen-year-old witch named Davina.

5. She can ride a horse

She played the lead role in Race to Redemption, a film shot in Kiln, Mississippi earlier this year.

The synopsis reads: “After losing her father, a young women must find the strength to face her fears and compete in the race of her life or her family will lose everything.

6. Danielle can surf

Danielle can not only sing, dance, act and ride a horse – she can surf! She posted a photo of the sign to a surf shop, on Instagram, along with the caption, “Here we go.”

The pretty brunette has also posted a pic of a line of surfboards with the caption, “I want to go surfingggg.” Too cool. Maybe she can teach Louis. There aren’t many places to surf in Doncaster.
