Dane Swan and girlfriend Taylor Wilson are expecting their first child together.

The 36-year-old showed off his wild side by flaunting his ink and going shirtless for the sunny occasion.

He kept it casual with a pair of black pants and a white bucket hat, which matched his Nike sneakers and lengthy socks. 

Taylor, on the other hand, rocked a sun-safer alternative – covering her blossoming baby bump with a grey tank, black sports bra and matching shorts.

She wore a green cap to protect her face, and completed her look with New Balance trainers, pink socks and a cross body bag.

Taylor looked absolutely glowing in the images as she highlighted her evolving figure in a strapless bikini top. 

The soon-to-be father shared the happy news during an interview with KIIS 101.1’s Jase and PJ breakfast show on November 27. 

‘The cat’s out of the bag!’ Dane declared, before revealing their baby is due in February. 

‘Not that I was hiding it, it’s very, very hard to hide a pregnant woman for the rest of your life, or hide a kid in the basement for the rest of its life,’ Dane joked.

‘Heard that doesn’t end well.’
