Baby joy for Calvin Harris and Vick Hope
DJ Calvin Harris has welcomed his first child with his wife, BBC radio presenter Vick Hope, and described his wife as a "superhero".
The 41 year-old One Kiss musician, shared the news on social media that their son, Micah, was born on July 20.
The DJ posted a series of photographs on Instagram on Monday along with the caption: "20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!"
The Summer musician added: "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 comments section was flooded with congratulations from fans around the world as well as fellow musicians including Jade Thirlwall and Craig David.
Some comments expressed surprise at the choice of photographs the DJ shared which included what appears to be the before and after shots of the placenta, the organ which forms in the womb during pregnancy, before it was steamed, dehydrated and ground into pills to be consumed.
Consuming one's own placenta, known as placentophagia, remains a debated practice with some claiming it offers health benefits.
Among the supporters was singer Becky Hill who posted in the comments: "Love to see the placenta!! Amazing we grow a whole new organ to provide life! Good job not wasting it either, that's some goddess magic right there!"
Hope, 35, is best known for presenting the BBC Radio 1 drivetime show Going Home.
She reportedly married the Dumfries-born DJ in 2023. He is behind the hit number one songs Sweet Nothing, Summer, and Promises.
