Model Luisana Lopilato sent a cheeky reply to the One Directioner after he offered them his best wishes this week.
Singer Niall tweeted to the happy pair: “A massive congrats to my bro @michaelbuble and his beautiful wife @lulopilato on the amazing news of baby buble!” Scorcher Luisana from Argentina responded: “@NiallOfficial I wish that you could have been the father!!
“Hahah I went the “wrong direction” @michaelbuble says you can be the stepdad.”
What could have been ... NiaLu joked on Twitter
Dishy Niall, 19, from Mullingar, Co Westmeath, became good pals with Buble and Luisana after the Canadian performed on X Factor back in 2010.
But the cheeky boybander seemed more than a little surprised by gorgeous Luisana’s reply, writing: “Wont tell ya what @lulopilato just said to me hahahaha!”
He added: “@lulopilato hahhahahaha! Thanks mike! Much appreciated haha! And Lu it would be an honour!”
Some of Niall’s besotted nine million Twitter followers were less than impressed with his exchanges with the blonde.
One deluded fan told him “@NiallOfficial stop flirting with that luisana girl or i will dump you”.
And another follower said: “@NiallOfficial I want you to be the father of my kids! Just like Luisana, but im not going on the wrong direction.”
Buble, 37, has been married to beautiful actress Luisana, 25, since 2011, after meeting two years earlier on a South American tour.
Great news ... Michael and Luisana
The pair revealed the big news about their first baby via a video on Michael’s website earlier this week. The 22-second video, set to Michael’s song Haven’t Met You Yet, shows a scan of the baby accompanied by the words “mini Buble”.
It ends with the text: “We’re having a baby Buble!!!” written in English and Spanish.
Michael has made no secret of his desire to cut down on his busy work schedule and start a family.
He said previously: “It can’t always be like that, I won’t allow it to be like that.
“When I do have children my priority will be my family.”
