Calvin Harris has shocked fans with some of the photos he chose to include in announcing the birth of his son<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the DJ and record producer<\/a>, 41, revealed in a round-up of Instagram photos that his wife, Vick Hope<\/a>, gave birth to their son July 20.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah,\u201d Harris wrote.<\/p>\n

Although he did show photos of himself holding his newborn son, he also included images of Hope lying in a birthing pool moments after giving birth as well as his wife\u2019s placenta in the carousel. Harris showed the whole organ and then the process of drying and grinding it into a powder to make pill capsules.<\/p>\n

While many commenters expressed their congratulations to the couple, others were not interested in seeing the more graphic details of his wife\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was NOT prepared for the placenta pic,\u201d one social media commenter wrote, while another agreed, writing, \u201cPlacenta pic was not needed bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlacenta pic is exactly what I needed to remind me to stay single and childless for a few more years,\u201d a third person commented. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen it visually but we love Calvin for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlacenta and plecenta [sic] pills were not on my bingo card for today but ok,\u201d someone else said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCheers Calv that\u2019s dinner ruined,\u201d another wrote while another said: \u201cPic 1 was sufficient. Why share that placenta pic? Vile.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, others had a different outlook, thanking Harris for normalizing the placenta as part of the birthing process.<\/p>\n

Hope and Harris first revealed they were expecting their first child together<\/a> in May 2025. At the time, Hope spoke live on Radio 1 to tell listeners that she would be going on maternity leave from presenting Countryfile and co-hosting BBC Radio 1\u2019s drivetime show with Katie Thistleton and former Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Hope said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat time is coming to an end for a bit because I\u2019m going on maternity leave next week,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Laing added: \u201cYou\u2019re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you\u2019re just going to be an amazing mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hope, who joined the Countryfile team in March, also shared why she hasn’t formally announced her pregnancy online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not an announcement, by the way,\u201d she said. \u201cPeople keep saying are you going to announce, are you going to announce? And I\u2019m like, I\u2019m not the King. I do not see the point, it\u2019s not for me. I\u2019ll be honest, I struggle with anything that\u2019s personal or private.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hope and Harris married in September 2023 but have been<\/a> linked for about 20 years.<\/p>\n

Hope previously recalled being hesitant about being in a romantic relationship with the music mastermind. During a January 2023 interview with You Magazine, she confessed to rejecting Harris in 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that we laughed about on our first proper date,\u201d Hope admitted at the time. \u201cWe still laugh about it now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Calvin Harris has shocked fans with some of the photos he chose to include in announcing the birth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60025,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[44958,236,88,44960,44959],"class_list":{"0":"post-60024","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-calvin-harris","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-instagram-photos","12":"tag-vick-hope"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
