Despite mixed reactions, fans praise Calvin Harris for raw honesty and wife Vick Hope’s strength during birth of son Micah.
Calvin Harris just became a dad—and his Instagram announcement has the internet buzzing, thanks to one unexpected photo. The 41-year-old DJ shared a carousel of intimate home birth images with wife Vick Hope, including a snapshot of the uncleaned placenta and umbilical cord shaped into a heart. A viral tweet warning users “Do NOT check Calvin Harris’s Instagram” has racked up over 29 million views—and after swiping past the third photo, many now understand why.
The post also features what looks like placenta pills, part of a growing trend called placentophagy. While celebs like Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen swear by it, doctors say there’s no science to back up the benefits—and real risks, like infections, do exist. Still, fans like singer Becky Hill celebrated the raw honesty, calling it “goddess magic,” while Harris stayed focused on what matters most, writing, “My wife is a superhero… we love you so much Micah.”
