Calvin Harris<\/a> and Vick Hope<\/a> have shared the happy news of the birth of their first child.<\/p>\n The couple posted a series of photos with their baby boy, named Micah, on Instagram<\/a>, including some graphic images from the home water birth itself, such as Vick\u2019s placenta.<\/p>\n \u201920th 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,\u2019 Calvin wrote in the caption to his post.<\/p>\n The name Micah has Hebrew origins and translates to \u2018who is like God?\u2019.<\/p>\n The other images include one of Calvin cradling the baby in the sun, lifting his son out of the water and the creation of Vick\u2019s (presumably) placenta pills.<\/p>\n Vick reposted the first image on her story with the phrase \u2018my boys\u2019 with the sun emoji.<\/p>\n The BBC<\/a> Radio 1<\/a> presenter, Vick, 35, has been married to her DJ husband, 41, since September 2023, and announced her pregnancy in May<\/a>.<\/p>\n Friends and family are flocking to the comments to congratulate the new parents. <\/p>\n \u2018Congratulations you 2,\u2019 chelceegrimes wrote on Instagram. <\/p>\n \u2018Congratulations guys, hope mama and baby are doing amazing,\u2019 thedeanlife echoed. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\tWhat is Placentophagy?\t\t\t<\/p>\n Placentophagy is the postpartum ingestion of the placenta and can be eaten in a variety of manners, including raw, cooked, roasted, dehydrated or encapsulated (the latter of which it appears Vick has opted to do).<\/p>\n Women who choose to consume their placenta after birth believe it provides health benefits which could include a boost of energy through nutrients.<\/p>\n There are several celebrities who have decided to try out this practice, such as Kourtney Kardashian, who once posted she would be \u2018sad\u2019 when her pills ran out. <\/p>\n Hillary Duff has previously consumed a placenta smoothie and Coleen Rooney claimed her placenta pills have helped her beat post-natal depression and replenish her natural hormones. <\/p>\n Despite the increasing popularity, some research has debunked the theory that it offers health benefits. <\/p>\n In 2015, the BBC reported that a review<\/a> by Northwestern University found no proven benefits and no research on the potential risks with the lead study author saying: \u2018Women really don\u2019t know what they are ingesting.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018Massive congrats mate ! Big love,\u2019 Camrinwatsin said.<\/p>\n \u2018Soooo happy for you,\u2019 annabelahor agreed.<\/p>\n Vick decided to share that she was expecting on her drivetime show<\/a>, \u00a0Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie earlier this year. <\/p>\n \t\t \u2018I should say that this is my final week. I wanted to share that with you because we\u2019ve had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I\u2019m going on maternity leave next week,\u2019 she said at the time. <\/p>\n Co-host Jamie replied: \u2018You\u2019re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you\u2019re just going to be an amazing mum.\u2019<\/p>\n The loved-up couple started dating in 2022 and, after an Ibiza engagement,they got at Hulne Priory in Alnwick, Northumberland with a Glastonbury-inspired wedding.<\/p>\n Plenty of famous faces were in attendance, including\u00a0Big Brother host AJ Odudu and radio presenters Vernon Kay and Scott Mills.<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n![\"Calvin](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1754338208_482_GettyImages-1990980319-e1754318720801.jpg\")
