DJ Calvin Harris and BBC Radio 1 presenter Vick Hope have welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Micah.
The couple shared heartfelt posts on Instagram, celebrating the home birth and praising each other’s strength. Their announcement included intimate details, sparking both admiration and surprise among fans.
On August 4, Calvin Harris revealed that their son was born on July 20 in a home water birth in Ibiza. He posted a series of photos, including tender moments with the newborn and a glimpse of the birthing process.
“20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah,”
he wrote.
Vick reposted the image with the caption, “my boys,” alongside a sun emoji.
A Private Yet Bold Pregnancy JourneyThe couple kept their pregnancy low-key until Vick announced her maternity leave in May. She shared on her radio show:
“I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave.”
Her co-host Jamie Laing responded,
“You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum”.
Despite their privacy, Vick occasionally showcased her baby bump at events, including a royal engagement with Prince William.
The Placenta Controversy: Mixed ReactionsCalvin’s post included graphic images of Vick’s placenta being dehydrated and turned into pills, a practice called placentophagy. While some praised the move, others were shocked.
Singer Becky Hill commented:
“Amazing we grow a whole new organ to provide life! Good job not wasting it either, that’s some goddess magic right there!”.
Critics, however, questioned the necessity of sharing such visuals. One fan wrote:
“I was NOT prepared for the placenta pic”.
Experts note that scientific studies have found no proven benefits to consuming placenta, with the CDC warning of contamination risks.
A Glastonbury-Themed Love StoryThe couple married in September 2023 after a two-year romance. Interestingly, Vick once rejected Calvin in 2007 when he asked her out.
She later joked:
Celebrity Well-Wishes Pour In“I was 19, and I said no and I went off with either Scouting for Girls or The Wombats. I thought they were going to be bigger, but no, it turns out Calvin Harris was going to turn into an Adonis”.
Famous friends flooded the comments with congratulations:
DJ Vice:
“That feeling when every track you’ve ever made… gets bundled into one, except this time, it’s a tiny human in your arms. 👏👏 CONGRATS”.
MistaJam:
“Welcome to Parenthood guys. The best ride of your life”.
Pixie Lott:
“OMG congrats Vick and Calvin!!!! So lovely”.
