Learn more about Teddy Swims’ net worth and a little bit about his personal life below.
The Origin Story
Teddy was born in the 1990s, but we don’t know his exact date of birth.

Some reports say that he was born sometime in 1993.
We know that Teddy’s actual name is Jaten Dimsdale, and one of his grandfathers was a Pentecostal preacher.

He has a close relationship with his parents, Fred Robel and Glenn Robel, but we lack any more details than that.
Other than music, football is another passion of Teddy’s, a sport where his 6 ft, heavyset frame gave him a physical advantage, and earned him the nickname Teddy, probably short for teddy bear.

“My whole family is just football, football, football,” he said.
Teddy was also a prolific participator in musical theater during his school years, making his formative years more diverse than the average person.
Swims has always had a passion for music and singing, but before he reached celebrity status, he worked as a waiter at a restaurant called Chilis.

During his waiting career, Teddy performed as a singer in several different bands covering a range of genres, including hardcore rock with bands Wildheart and Erris.
He was also pretty good at covering songs from the sixties and eighties in a couple of other bands he regularly performed with.
Teddy gained a big break when his producer friend, Addy Maxwell, invited him to rap in a SoundCloud song. The gig helped cement Teddy as a talented performer and earned him a position on a nationwide tour.

It was during this time that Jaten (Teddy) came up with his stage name using his nickname “Teddy” and adding the acronym “SWIMS,” which stands for someone who isn’t me sometimes.
In September 2020, he signed with WME (William Morris Endeavor Entertainment) for representation in all areas. He was previously repped by UTA.
In October 2020, Teddy released the single “Broke,” which “captures the journey that I’ve gone through over the last year.”

In May 2021, Swims released his debut EP, “Unlearning.”
On January 21, 2022, Teddy released the mixtape — “Tough Love.”
In April 2022, he released a new single ‘Dose.’ “So excited to release this song to the world,” Teddy said.

Debut Album
On September 15, 2023, Teddy released his debut studio album — “I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1).”
Lose Control, week 112
“Lose Control” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 99 on August 26, 2023, per Guinness World Records, and no song before it needed more weeks to reach No. 1. John Legend held that mark with 30 weeks for “All of Me” until Swims passed it.
In a 2023 interview, Swims told Billboard: “I knew this was going to change my life.”
On May 27, 2025, song logged its 92nd week and passed “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals for the longest Hot 100 stay ever.
On July 26, 2025, it became the first track with 100 weeks on the Hot 100, and its run stopped at 112 weeks on October 18, 2025, only because Billboard rewrote its recurrent status rules (a policy that retires older songs from the chart after long stays).
Second album, second Grammy nod
I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) arrived on January 24, 2025, nine days before his first Grammy night as a Best New Artist nominee.
Recording Academy nominated him again, for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 68th Grammys, and on February 1, 2026, trophy went to Lady Gaga for MAYHEM.
Two nominations, zero wins.
Ugly
Spring 2026 meant festivals: Coachella, Stagecoach, BottleRock and a Bonnaroo headline slot.
After that came The Ugly Tour, his first arena run, which opened September 22 in Kansas City and closes November 18 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, with White Claw signed on as official partner.
Girlfriend
Teddy Swims is pretty private, but in 2016 he tweeted that he and his girlfriend had split. His trajectory to fame had not happened yet, so there was very little fanfare about the event.
Some six years later, Teddy posted a Valentine’s tribute on Instagram to a woman named Nelly.
His girlfriend reciprocated with a message professing her love and indicating a decade-long romance.
When you put two and two together, it would seem Nelly and the breakup girlfriend of 2016 are one and the same. However, Teddy is not forthcoming about the details, so we cannot confirm his relationship status.
In 2024, Teddy Swims started to date his girlfriend, Raiche Wright.

A native of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Raiche released her debut EP DRIVE in 2019.
She and Swims are expecting a baby.
“We can’t wait to meet you baby,” they wrote on Instagram in early 2025.
Their boy arrived on June 23, 2025. Four days later Swims and Wright posted a black and white photo with “6.23.25” as caption and a short line: “We love you lil man”.
His name has not been made public, so it stays out of here.
At the 2025 Grammys, with Wright pregnant on his arm, Swims told Extra: “My baby girl’s over there with a belly out… I’m just so blessed.”
Around the same time, he talked about couples therapy:
“Me and my girl even have started doing couples therapy together to make sure that we’re bringing this baby into the most beautiful, healthiest, communicative home.”
It did not last. Wright made their separation public on January 19, 2026, in a long social media message, as ¡HOLA! reported.
Swims stayed silent until a Stagecoach Q&A in April, where he said:
“I’m going through a bit of a situation with my baby mother.” (TMZ, 2026)
On July 10, 2026, “Break Up in Reverse” came out, and a Warner press release did the confirmation for him.
“Upon writing this song and my next album, I’ve been going through it with my relationship with my baby’s mother coming to an end,” Swims said in that statement.
Wright wrote about custody arithmetic on her Instagram Story on July 7, 2026:
“The thought of having to split time with my baby 50/50 has been the hardest reality I’ve ever had to face.”
