Calvin Harris Announces Birth of First Child & Shares Placenta Photos: ‘My Wife Is a Superhero’

Calvin Harris and his wife, Vick Hope, are celebrating the birth of their first child. The Scottish superstar producer shared the news by posting a photo of himself holding the newborn, a boy named Micah, in an Instagram post Monday (Aug. 4).

“20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!” Harris’ caption reads. “My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.”

The photo carousel also includes photos of Hope in a water birth tank, along with an image of what looks to be Hope’s placenta, which Harris then shows chunks of in a food dehydrator, with the final image of the carousel being a jar of supplements presumably made from said placenta. Placenta consumption is not uncommon, with some believing that benefits can include helping new mothers in the postpartum period.

This isn’t the first time Harris has shared his alternative health habits. Last year, he revealed that he drinks raw egg yolks to stave off jetlag, typically stashing six eggs in his carry-on bag.

The comments section on Harris’ birth announcement post is naturally buzzing with congrats, with fellow artists including Armin van Buuren, Chris Lake, Sonny Fodera, Kygo and many others chiming in with well wishes.

The news follows Harris and Hope getting married in England in 2023. It is the first marriage for both.

Meanwhile on the charts, Harris’ latest single “Blessings” is currently in its eleventh week on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs. The song, a collaboration with singer Clementine Douglas, is currently at No. 5, down from its apex position at No. 3.
