Tomlinson opted for a casual look in a white t-shirt and black shorts, perfectly suited for a day outdoors as he strolled around the patio area of the residence.
Louis’ sister Lottie and her spouse Lewis Burton were present as well, taking advantage of one last getaway before welcoming their baby girl, as highlighted in a recent Instagram update.
This trip comes at an opportune moment for Louis, who is still grappling with the recent loss of his dear friend.
As many are aware, Liam tragically fell from a third-floor hotel balcony earlier this week. Reports from at least one Buenos Aires policeman suggested he “had jumped from the balcony of his room.”
Liam shared a deeply touching tribute to Liam, expressing his heartbreak at the news of his death and assuring that he would be a protective figure to Liam’s 7-year-old son Bear if ever needed.
Louis referred to Liam as the backbone of One Direction, stating that his exceptional vocal talent, stage presence, and songwriting skills significantly influenced the band’s success.
All One Direction alumni, alongside various celebrities, have conveyed their sympathies following Liam’s untimely passing, demonstrating their fondness for the beloved star across social media platforms.
It appears that Louis is relying on his family for support during this challenging time.
