Cole Swindell and his wife, Courtney Little Swindell, are expecting Baby No. 1!
Courtney shared photos on Instagram — including snapshots of the mother-to-be cradling her growing baby bump and holding up sonogram images — to make the announcement on Monday (March 3). She simply wrote in the caption: “Baby Swindell 🤍 2025”
Swindell married his wife in a stunning, intimate ceremony on June 12, 2024 in Sonoma, California. The newlyweds spent their honeymoon in Turks and Caicos, and hosted a surprise wedding reception with hundreds of friends and family when they returned home to Nashville, Tennessee. Shortly after getting married, Courtney responded to a few questions on her Instagram story, including one from an Instagram user who asked about the Swindells starting a family. Courtney said at that time that the newlyweds “are so so excited for kids at some point later on, but for now I love my role as an auntie.”
Swindell shared footage from the couple’s romantic wedding day when he debuted “Forever To Me (Our Version),” offering a fresh spin on the sweet ballad that served as the couple’s wedding song. Swindell announced in May 2023 that he’d popped the question, and gushed at that time: “Still couldn’t tell ya everything I said down on one knee.. All I know is she said ‘YES’! 💍 We’re so excited!”
The “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” artist is one of several country stars welcoming a baby in 2025. Others with babies on the way include Lauren Alaina, Jordan Davis, HARDY and more. See the growing list of pregnancy announcements here.
