The "Bad Dreams" artist, born Jaten Collin Dimsdale, and his girlfriend announced they were expecting their first baby together on Instagram in January. In the sweet photos, the couple is seen posing on a beach, sitting together on a lounge chair.
Wright leaned back on Swims, wearing a red and white gingham bikini and exposing her bare belly. Swims put his hands on her stomach, wearing a baseball cap and looking off into the distance. Wright also posed solo in the ocean, resting a hand on her belly. A third photo showed Swims giving his girlfriend a sweet kiss on the cheek.
"We can't wait to meet you baby 🤍✨," the two wrote in their joint post.
During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the musician opened up about when he and his girlfriend discovered their exciting news. Swims noted that they were leaving Austin City Limits when they noticed something wasn't entirely normal.
"She was complaining of things that we thought were period symptoms. And I was like, these have been going on for a while, maybe we should check this out," Swims said of his girlfriend. "And so we're in our hotel the next day, I don't remember where we're off. And weirdly, as we're driving through Austin, she'd never been to a Buc-ee's before, which is my favorite place in the whole world. And so I was like, you gotta go. Half my wardrobe is Buc-ee's."

The musician went on to say that they stopped at the gas station shop, got adult onesies and then went to Chili's to eat.
'So we're there, we're eating Chili's in our onesies, we go home and we do the test. We do like three of them and it's like, immediately yes you're pregnant," he shared. "And so we're freaking out, we're finding this out in our Buc-ee's. Until we find a name, we're just calling boy or girl 'Baby Buc-ee.' I'm going to call it Buc-ee, I don't care what the name is."
The singer confirmed his romance with Wright in a July 2024 episode of The Kyle & Jackie O Show.
'She does what I do, which is great,' he said, referring to Wright's singing career. '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.''
