Louis Tomlinson Requests Privacy for His Son Freddie

Louis Tomlinson is requesting that the media and his fans give privacy to his son Freddie amid his custody battle with ex Briana Jungwirth.

The 24-year-old One Direction singer released a statement saying that he wants his son to “have a normal, private and protected childhood,” but “the levels of paparazzi attention on Freddie… are intolerable and completely unjustifiable.”

The rep told People that the media attention on Louis is infringing on his visitation time with Freddie.

“Louis appreciates, respects and values his relationship with the media and we hope he and his son are afforded the same respect on this matter,” the rep said.

Louis is seeking 50/50 physical and legal custody of his son.
