The pair met earlier this year through mutual friends (image via Instagram).
Speaking to Mail Online, Briana's dad Joe revealed: “The publicity and everything, it can be overwhelming yes.
“Briana’s really shy, she’s strong but shy, she’s tough but shy and she’s having a tough time with it, it’s stressing her out right now, she’s texting me all the time."
The 23-year-old is described as "strong but shy".
Joe admitted that since Briana has moved out of her mother's house she is coping better, but didn't deny that it takes a bit of getting used to.
He said: "It’s a bit of a shock, you know, they’re kids, stuff happens, but I’m supporting her.
Louis paid a brief visit to LA before One Direction's Cardiff gig.
Briana's stepmum Karen, who also spoke to the publication, revealed her concerns for the 23-year-old stylist.
She said: “I’m distressed for all the c**p I’ve read online in the middle of the night.
“I just hope all this doesn’t ruin her life, I care about that, we are at the beginning of something and she’s a private person, she’s not a Facebook person or anything like that.
“This is really scary for someone in her condition, especially when she’s only 23, I think it’s pretty overwhelming.”
Louis split from girlfriend Eleanor Calder in May.
Although Louis hasn't addressed the reports, he did take to Twitter this week to post a message to his fans.
Amazing show ! Thank you for the support !!
