Teddy Swims and his partner, fellow musician Raiche Wright, have announced they are expecting their first child.
Wright shared the news on Jan. 8 via Instagram, posting a carousel of photos featuring the couple on a beach, her growing baby bump in full view. “We can’t wait to meet you, baby 🤍✨,” she captioned the post, which was quickly met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and peers alike.
Swims has often credited his relationship with Wright as a source of inspiration and stability during his rise to fame. In July, during an episode of The Kyle & Jackie O Show, Swims said of Wright, “She does what I do, which is great. Because it’s like maybe 3 a.m. and I’m calling her and she’s like ‘Yeah, yeah I’m in a session. I’m recording vocals.’ And I’m like, ‘Girl, yeah, handle your business, baby.’ ”
Wright, a singer-songwriter in her own right, is best known for her 2023 album Loveland. The couple went public with their relationship in early 2024, with Wright frequently joining Swims on tour and performing duets on stage.
The announcement caps off a banner year for Swims, whose soulful anthem “Lose Control” was crowned Billboard’s year-end 2024 Hot 100 Song of the Year.
The track achieved the longest climb to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a solo male artist, taking 32 weeks to reach the summit in March 2024. Spending over 30 weeks on the Hot 100 and dominating the Top 10 for an impressive 45 weeks, “Lose Control” solidified its place in music history. The song also achieved global success, reaching No. 1 in several countries and earning diamond certification in France.
The accolades don’t stop there. In addition to topping the Billboard Hot 100, “Lose Control” made history as the first song in nearly a decade to lead five airplay charts simultaneously: Radio Songs, Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult Contemporary, and Adult R&B Airplay. Swims’ streaming numbers have been equally impressive, with “Lose Control” becoming one of the most-streamed tracks globally in 2023 and 2024.
Swims, born Jaten Dimsdale, first captured attention with viral YouTube covers in 2019 before releasing his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1), released in 2023. Supported by his I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy Tour, Swims sold over 150,000 headline tickets across North America, Europe, and other regions.
