Congratulations are in order for Cole Swindell and his wife, Courtney Little Swindell, who have welcomed their first child.
The country music star and former NBA dancer became parents to a baby girl, Rainey Gail Swindell, on Thursday (Aug. 7). The couple shared the joyful news the following day through a joint Instagram post featuring a heartwarming photo of their newborn dressed in a white onesie.
“Rainey Gail Swindell 🤍 8.7.25 our greatest blessing,” they captioned the post.
The baby’s name is a tribute to her father, whose middle name is Rainey.
After the birth, Courtney shared a tender photo on her Instagram Story of Cole smiling down at their newborn daughter as he gently held her.
“This is why who you marry matters,” she wrote in text over the picture. “Best dad already to our girl. Couldn’t ask for a more supportive partner! We are very lucky girls.”
The Swindells first announced they were expecting back in early March with an Instagram carousel that included a sweet shot of the couple standing behind a clothesline adorned with a baby onesie, close-up images of sonograms, and joyful moments celebrating the news.
“Baby Swindell 2025,” they captioned the post, alongside a heart emoji.
Cole and Courtney tied the knot in June 2024 during a romantic ceremony in Sonoma, Calif. Earlier this year, the ACM Award winner released a special remixed, digital-only version of his top 10 Billboard Country Airplay hit, “Forever to Me,” retitled “Forever to Me (Our Version).” The accompanying music video features touching footage from their wedding day.
