Teddy Swims FaceTimes his son daily whenever he's away
Published in Entertainment News
Teddy Swims is "super grateful" to be able to keep in touch with his son via FaceTime whenever he's away.
The Mr. Know It All singer recently confirmed his split from girlfriend Raiche Wright - the mum of his 13-month-old little boy Theodore - and said he's attempting to remain a "present" father while still being a successful, productive musician.
To do so, he ensures that any day he's away from his son, he speaks to him on FaceTime - although he admitted it can be challenging with a one-year-old.
He told Us Weekly: "I miss him, but I'm on FaceTime with him every day I can. We're like five hours difference in a lot of these places, I'm getting him when he's eating his breakfast, lunch and dinner, just trying to hop on and see him.
"With a one-year-old, you're getting like, maybe a minute and a half of his attention, and he's on to something else, but at least he's stoked to see me."
In addition, Teddy knows how lucky he is to even be able to see his child daily - whether it's in person or via FaceTime.
He mused: "There are guys doing my job that don't get to talk to or see their kid at all, you know, so I'm super grateful that we can be face to face in some regard."
Becoming a dad in June 2025 has also changed Teddy's entire outlook on life, as he has done his utmost to be more "present" now that he's someone his little boy can look up to.
He added: "There's so many times where I'm sitting with him and he's doing nothing at all and this is the most productive thing I could do, just giving my time and not be on my phone and just be there,.
"I look at him when I talk to him, and he just wants you to look at him in the eyes. He just wants you to be there and see what he's doing, and he looks back over his shoulder if he's doing whatever, and it's just like, 'Are you watching?' And that's become the most important thing to me."
Admitting it might sound a bit "cheesy", Teddy said he's trying to "make the time count" in every aspect of his life.
He said: "My son has just done so much of that for me to just slow me down and give me that real time.
"I think, in an age of social media … you're constantly comparing yourself to other people and their accomplishments, or whatever fake life that they're kind of portraying, that it's all good all the time, and everything's wonderful. It can be really kind of draining on you."
