Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and radio presenter wife Vick Hope have welcomed their first baby together on July 20. Harris took to Instagram to share the news with his fans.
In an Instagram post, the DJ shared a carousel of photos from the birth of his son, named Micah captioned: “20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!” the 41-year-old wrote in the caption. “My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.”
Harris also shared different photos going from him and his wife holding the new-born in a birthing pool to what appeared to be his wife’s placenta which are then showed in a food dehydrator. The carousel ends on what seems like a jar of the placenta remains.
Many people and fans commented to congratulate the newly made parents, including fellow DJ and fiend of Harris, DJ Kygo, who wrote “Congrats!!”
More famous names congratulated the couple, such as Craig David who wrote: “Congratulations to you both. Amazing,” and former Love Island UK host Laura Whitmore writing “Congrats to you both! Enjoy the magic x.”
Some other comments expressed more surprise and concerns at the choice of pictures posted online by the artist, especially the placenta one, the organ which forms in the womb during pregnancy. The tradition of consuming it after giving birth, known as placentophagia, remains a debated practice with some claiming it offers health benefits.
Calvin Harris and Vick Hope’s love story can be traced all the way back to 2007, when the radio presenter turned Harris down after he asked her on a date. After 15 years of knowing one another, the pair’s friendship turned into more, with The Sun revealing they had been dating “for months” in January 2022. The couple tied the knot in September 2023.
