Earlier in the week, it was reported that Tomlinson and Jungwirth, both 24, had chosen the name Sydney Rain. But the fashion stylist, who is not in a relationship with Tomlinson, revealed on her own Instagram account that they have named him Freddie Reign.

Meanwhile, Jungwirth kisses Freddie’s cheek from her hospital bed, describing him in the caption as the “love of my life”.
