Louis Tomlinson praises 'understanding' Simon Cowell

Singer Louis Tomlinson has praised Simon Cowell for being "completely understanding" when he and his One Direction bandmates told him they wanted to go on a hiatus.
The "Night Changes" hitmaker has praised the 56-year-old music mogul, who formed the band, for not putting any pressure on the chart-topping group, which also includes Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, when they told him they wanted to take a break, reported Female First.
"Simon was completely understanding when we told him we wanted to go on a break. Not once did he put any pressure on us. Most people would've tried to give us at least a nudge. But he didn't. That's a real reflection of his character. Once you get to know him, he's lovely and kind."

The 24-year-old singer also revealed Cowell was one of the first people he told when he found out he was expecting a child, Freddie, now two months, with stylist Briana Jungwirth.
"Simon is one of the first people I told about my son, Freddie. You can trust him.
