Louis Tomlinson Bio
Louis Tomlinson was born on December 24, 1991 in Doncaster town in South Yorkshire, England to parents, Johannah and Troy Austin. Louis' parents divorced when he was only a child, and, thus, the One Direction singer took his stepfather's last name. Tomlinson has five half-sisters, Georgia, Charlotte, Felicite, and twin sisters, Daisy and Phoebe. Louis' mother and stepfather also eventually divorced.
In 2014, Louis' mother welcomed a new set of children, twins, Ernest and Doris, with her new husband, Daniel Deakin, as per Biography. Tomlinson was a student at The Hayfield School in Doncaster. However, the singer didn't graduate in this school, hence, he continued and finished his studies at Hall Cross Academy. Tomlinson participated in multiple school productions in Hall Cross, including that of giving a performance in the musical, "Grease." When he wasn't attending classes in school as a teen, Tomlinson worked in the retail sector for part-time jobs, and was a member of the Doncaster Rovers Football Club.
