Calvin Harris and Vick Hope are officially parents. The couple, who tied the knot in September 2023, have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Micah.
The news was announced by Calvin yesterday afternoon in a heartfelt Instagram post. The 40-year-old DJ shared a series of touching images, including a candid snap of the proud new parents and a close-up of their newborn son’s tiny hand.
Alongside the pictures, Calvin wrote:
“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.”
The couple have been relatively private about their pregnancy journey, so news of Micah’s arrival came as a joyful surprise to fans. Friends, fellow celebrities, and followers quickly flooded the comments section with congratulations and well wishes.
Vick, 34, best known as a BBC Radio 1 presenter and TV host, has not yet made her own statement but was tagged in Calvin’s post. The new mum is said to be doing well and recovering at home.
One of the more unconventional details in Calvin’s post was his revelation that they had chosen to keep Vick’s placenta after birth, and even had it processed into capsules. He shared a graphic image of the organ before explaining that it had been dried, ground into powder, and placed in pill form for consumption.

Placenta encapsulation is a practice some new mothers choose, with supporters claiming it can help boost energy, balance hormones, and support recovery after childbirth, though medical evidence remains mixed. Calvin’s candid inclusion of this detail sparked lively discussion online, with some praising the choice as personal and natural, while others were more surprised by the openness.
The couple have been together since early 2022, and their relationship quickly blossomed into a whirlwind romance. After a low-key engagement, they married in an intimate outdoor ceremony in September 2023. Friends described their wedding as “magical and deeply personal,” reflecting the couple’s shared love of nature and privacy.
Fans have followed their journey closely, from cosy date night sightings to Calvin’s occasional sweet tributes to Vick on social media. But the pair are known for keeping much of their personal life away from the public eye, making this baby announcement feel especially special.
Calvin’s heartfelt post paints a picture of a proud, emotional new dad soaking in the early days of fatherhood. The DJ, whose hits include Summer, One Kiss, and Feel So Close, is currently taking a short break from live performances to focus on family life.
With the arrival of baby Micah, Calvin and Vick’s lives have taken on a new rhythm, one full of late-night feeds, newborn cuddles, and that unique blend of exhaustion and joy only new parents understand.
