Louis Tomlinson Channels Liam Heartbreak With Tribute Track

Published

Louis Tomlinson is pouring his heart out through music ... dropping a new single that appears to be a heartbreaking tribute to his late One Direction bandmate, Liam Payne.

The song, titled "Dark to Light," comes from Louis' upcoming album, "How Did I Get Here?" -- and the lyrics hit hard, hinting at the pain of feeling like he could've done more to help someone in crisis.

Lines like, "Is there anything that I can do? I wish you could see how you look in my eyes, one more time," and "Could it bring you from dark to light?" feel painfully close to home, following Liam's death in October 2024.

Liam also notably had a tattoo across his chest that read, "Where dark meets lighT," which he got in 2023 shortly after opening up about his struggles and journey with sobriety. The sentiment is also reminiscent of a 2013 One Direction track that Liam cowrote with Louis titled "Through the Dark."

WHO IS THIS GUY???

That photo of Harry Styles lurking at the Pope Leo XIV announcement last May had the internet spiraling ... was he finding religion -- or just lost? Turns out, neither!

Even his barber was freaking out ... but finished the cut first. Respect! But once the scissors stopped, Harry wandered over to St. Peter’s Square to see who was pulling this kind of crowd. And boom, someone snapped a pic of him, which made its way online in seconds! And somehow ... he was wearing a hat in the photo ... 🤔

Jaime King Second Husband Files For Divorce

Published | Updated

Update

Jamie King Tells TMZ ... “I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere. I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship. Any recent interactions being referenced publicly were strictly professional business meetings and have no connection to this private matter. My focus right now is my work and, above all, my children. This is deeply personal and should remain private, and I hope people will stop making assumptions— particularly ones that unfairly and disproportionately scrutinize women simply for doing their jobs.”

Jaime King's second husband, banker Austin Sosa, is withdrawing from their marriage ... because he just filed for divorce.

Austin beelined it to court Thursday and filed to divorce Jaime ... according to online records.

The reason for the split is unclear ... but the divorce filing comes just weeks after there were reports linking Jaime to another man, hotel owner Vikram Chatwal.
