The \u201cLose Control\u201d singer dished on his journey as a parent during his Stagecoach pop-up at T-Mobile\u2019s exclusive Club Magenta hospitality space.<\/p>\n<p>Club Magenta welcomed guests at Stagecoach with open arms, providing an upscale escape from the California heat where T-Mobile customers remained plugged-in while still able to enjoy country\u2019s best artists, right from the comfort of the club. Swims joined fans for the Teddy Swims Takeover, an experience where they got to enjoy custom mocktails, an airbrush tattoo station, and an exclusive visit from the star himself.<\/p>\n<p>During a private Q&amp;A chat at T-Mobile\u2019s Club Magenta, Teddy was asked what the next version of himself will look and sound like, and where he pulls his inspiration from now that he\u2019s a dad of one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it\u2019s a tough question. [It\u2019s] coming from life, I guess, like going through a bit of a situation with my baby mother. A little heartbreak you know,\u201d Teddy, 33, responded. \u201cSo, yeah, it\u2019s gonna be rock and roll, man, you know? Yeah, I\u2019m really happy. I\u2019m in a good place. And I got a 10 month old, so, you know, he just turned 10 months old yesterday, and he\u2019s the sweetest kid in the world. So trying to make everything not about being a dad is the hard part because nobody wants to hear just nothing but dad tunes.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4323107\" style=\"width: 200px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:149.85714285714%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4323107\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=47&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Teddy Swims\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=100&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 100w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=200&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=300&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=400&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=500&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=600&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=700&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 700w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=900&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 900w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=47&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Teddy-Swims.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=47&amp;strip=all 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 6em), (max-width: 1000px) 80vw, 1000px\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n Teddy Swims<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">T-Mobile<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Swims became a father in June 2025 after welcoming a son with his longtime partner, <strong>Raiche Wright<\/strong>.
