It always seems that Olive has Swee'Pea at her Apartment or house and she's the one who takes him in a stroller in the park and stuff. She seems to have Popeye rescue Swee'Pea.
Do you think Olive is his mother?
Or is he related to Popeye?

no. in the comic strip, Thimble Theater which created Popeye and friends, Swee'Pea is a foundling. Popeye just finds him floating in a basket at sea; so he adopts the "infantk" as his own son. in a Fleisher cartoon Swee'Pea was originally claimed to be Olive Oyl's nephew, but how he is related to her precisely is never explained.

No, Swee'pea is adopted. His mother left him on Popeye's doorstep (this was in the old days when you could do things like that) and he adopted him. Swee'Pea was actually supposed to grow up to become the Prince of some tiny nation, and there were asassins after him, etc. It made for a good adventure, but the writer just kept the kid afterward. He must have been popular with the readers.
So the kid is not related to either of them. Olive just keeps hoping that Popeye will break down and marry her, but she doesn't now anything about sailors! (He probably has a girl in every port.) She takes care of Swee'Pea, hoping to show that she has maternal instincts and knows how to take care of kids. Popeye's cool with that. He'll let her wear herself out taking care of the kid. Popeye's a playa!

In the movie with Robin Williams as Popeye, Sweet Pea is an orphan.

Swee Pea is Popeye's nephew. Olive can still wear white to her wedding.
