Louis Tomlinson linked to Los Angeles stylist

One Direction pin-up Louis Tomlinson has been romantically linked to aspiring Los Angeles stylist Briana Jungwirth a day after making light of his single status during a TV chat.

Appearing with his bandmates on pal James Corden's The Late Late Show on Thursday (14May15), Tomlinson joked about living it up as a single man since his March (15) split from girlfriend Eleanor Calder, but it appears the pop star might not be completely relationship free.

Reports suggest the 23 year old is romancing Jungwirth, who has been photographed on three separate occasions with the singer, holding his hand at a party celebrating the release of Snoop Dogg's new album earlier this week (11May15).

Tomlinson and the rest of One Direction are currently in Los Angeles recording songs for a new album.

The singer's representatives have yet to comment on the new romance story.
