Louis Tomlinson shares adorable picture with baby son Freddie

Since he was born on January 21, baby Freddie Reign Tomlinson has been proudly showed off by both his parents on social media.

And now dad Louis Tomlinson has shared another super-cute photo of the little guy on his Instagram account.

The intimate black and white shot shows Louis looking rightfully taken with his 6-week old son and came with the caption: "Lad and dad."

The 24-year-old One Direction singer and stylist Briana Jungwirth welcomed Freddie into the world last month and, despite no longer being a couple, are raising the newborn together in LA.

The new picture comes just after Louis' former bandmate Zayn Malik revealed that he likes to see updates of Freddie on the internet as he and Louis aren't currently on speaking terms.

He told Capital Breakfast that he liked the first Twitter pic of Freddie that came shortly after his birth, saying: "Obviously I wish [Tomlinson] the best of luck. His kid is cute as f**k so obviously I favourited it."

He continued: "We're not talking on friend terms obviously, so that's as far as I can go, by favoruiting his picture."

Zayn, you've got some more favouriting to do.
