By Stig Editor Teddy Swims and Wife Celebrate the Arrival of Twin Babies: “Our Hearts Are Full”
July 2, 2025 — Atlanta, GA — Soul sensation Teddy Swims and his wife, Harper Swims, are now the proud parents of two beautiful twin babies, marking a joyous new chapter in their growing family. The couple welcomed a baby boy and a baby girl — named Theo James Swims and Hazel Rae Swims — early Tuesday morning at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
In a heartfelt Instagram post shared later that day, Teddy Swims (born Jaten Dimsdale) wrote:
“They’re here. And I’m crying more than I ever have in my life. Theo and Hazel, you’ve already changed our world. Harper was an absolute warrior. I’ve never loved or admired her more than I do right now. Our hearts are so full.”
The post was accompanied by a black-and-white photo of Teddy holding both newborns in his tattooed arms, with Harper smiling tearfully from her hospital bed beside him. The caption quickly went viral, with thousands of fans and fellow musicians flooding the comments with congratulations and well-wishes.
A Love Story That Keeps Inspiring
Teddy and Harper, who married in a private ceremony in 2022 after several years of dating, have been vocal about their love and partnership. Harper, a creative director and entrepreneur, has been a quiet but steady force behind Teddy’s rise to fame.
In a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, Teddy credited her with helping him stay grounded through the whirlwind of touring and success. “She’s the reason I’m still sane,” he said. “She believes in me, even when I forget to believe in myself.”
Balancing Music and Fatherhood
The twins’ arrival comes at a pivotal time in Teddy Swims’ career. His 2024 album Love Letters & Late Nights was met with critical acclaim and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance. However, Teddy had hinted in recent interviews that he was ready to step back from the spotlight — at least temporarily.
Now, with Theo and Hazel in his arms, it seems that pause is officially underway. A representative for the singer confirmed that Teddy will be postponing his upcoming fall tour dates to focus on his new role as a father.
“He’s completely devoted to his family right now,” the rep stated. “He’s still making music — always — but this is a sacred season for him.”
Fans Show Love
Swims Nation — Teddy’s devoted fanbase — has been effusive in their support.
“Teddy’s voice heals hearts, and now his babies are gonna grow up hearing that voice every day,” wrote one fan on X.
“Theo and Hazel are the luckiest babies in the world,” another added. “Congrats to the Swims family!”
What’s Next?
While Teddy is taking time off to enjoy fatherhood, insiders say he’s already begun writing lullabies and love songs inspired by his children. A short acoustic demo titled “Lullaby for Hazel” — a sweet, stripped-back melody sung softly over piano — was leaked by a friend on social media (with permission), and it has fans clamoring for more.
Rumors are already swirling about a future EP dedicated entirely to his new life as a father.
For now, the Swims family is soaking in every precious moment, far from the stage lights and studio buzz. And with twin babies in tow, Teddy Swims’ next chapter promises to be his most heartfelt yet.
Congratulations to Teddy, Harper, Theo, and Hazel — welcome to the world, little ones! 🍼✨
