Calvin Harris Welcomes Son Micah Shares Placenta Photos

DJ Calvin Harris and his wife, Radio 1 host Vick Hope, welcomed their first child, a son named Micah, born via home water birth on July 20, 2025. Harris shared a series of photos on Instagram including intimate moments from the birth, images of their newborn son, and notably, graphic photos of Hope’s placenta being dehydrated and turned into pill capsules, sparking mixed reactions from fans on social media. Some praised the post for normalizing aspects of childbirth and applauded the use of the placenta, while others found the graphic nature of the images surprising or unnecessary. The practice of placenta encapsulation is believed by some to have health benefits, though medical authorities like the Mayo Clinic and CDC have warned about potential risks. Despite the public announcement, Harris and Hope have previously emphasized the importance of privacy in their relationship. Since becoming a father, Harris has returned to performing, including shows in Ibiza and Las Vegas.
