When Calvin Harris drops a reveal, it’s not just a beat that’s shocking. The world-famous DJ just became a first-time dad—and celebrated with a baby photo dump that included something fans definitely didn’t expect: his wife’s placenta.
Yep, you read that right.
On Monday, the hitmaker posted an intimate slideshow on Instagram announcing the arrival of his newborn son Micah, who was born on July 20. While most new celeb parents go for cozy baby blankets and tiny toes, Calvin went full-on raw and real … by including actual photos of wife Vick Hope’s placenta. And yes—there were multiple shots.
👶 Meet Baby Micah!
The first-time father shared a heartfelt caption alongside sweet snaps of little Micah and radio host Vick Hope, writing:
“Micah was born July 20 ❤️ Vick is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom. Grateful and in love with my boy ❤️.”
The couple reportedly opted for a natural birth, with one image showing Vick cradling their newborn in a water birthing pool—a raw, powerful, and intimate moment that fans are applauding for its honesty.

🧠 And Then… the Placenta Makes Its Appearance
Just as fans were “aww”-ing over the sweet family debut, Calvin hit them with a next-slide shocker: up-close images of Vick’s placenta. Not just fresh from birth, either—it appears to be dehydrated and being processed into capsules, a method known as placentophagy, often used for postpartum healing and hormone regulation.
While placenta consumption isn’t new in wellness circles, it’s still rare to see it splashed across a major celebrity’s Instagram feed. Naturally, fans were shook.
“The baby is adorable but why did I just see a placenta while sipping coffee 😭,” one fan commented.
“This is so British of him. No filter, no shame. Just vibes and placenta pills,” another joked.
🌍 Placenta Pills: Trend or TMI?
More celeb moms—from Kim Kardashian to Hilary Duff—have spoken publicly about consuming their placenta after birth, claiming it boosts energy, improves mood, and supports milk production.
But not everyone’s sold on the science. Medical experts are still divided on the proven benefits—and warn of potential contamination risks if not prepared correctly. Still, in the court of celebrity trends, it’s definitely having a moment.
💕 Vick Hope: The Real MVP
The real star of the photo dump? Vick Hope. Fans and fellow moms flooded the comments with praise for her strength and openness. Calvin’s gushing tribute only sealed the deal.
“She is a superhero,” he wrote. “And I am in awe of her primal wisdom.”
After tying the knot in a stunning Glastonbury-style wedding in 2023, the couple is now stepping into a whole new era—this time as parents.
