It would come as no surprise if the singer did ask the 56-year-old to act as a godparent to his child, as the Syco boss has mentored Louis and One Direction since the inception of their career on the X Factor in 2010. Simon also picked Louis to return to the singing competition recently as a guest adviser during the judges' houses section of the competition.Although Louis has yet to comment on reports that Briana Jungwirth has given birth to his child, the singer was spotted shopping in Los Angeles wearing a hospital band on his left wrist. According to TMZ the pop superstar flew into L.A to be beside his former girlfriend when she gave birth.
