Calvin Harris’s announcement of son’s birth receives mixed reaction online

  • DJ and record producer Calvin Harris and his wife, Vick Hope, have announced the birth of their son, Micah, who was born on 20 July.
  • Harris shared a series of Instagram photos to mark the occasion, which controversially included images of Hope in a birthing pool and her placenta.
  • The photos also depicted the process of the placenta being dried and ground into powder for pill capsules.
  • The graphic nature of some images, particularly the placenta, drew strong and mixed reactions from social media users.
  • While many congratulated the couple, others expressed discomfort, though some praised Harris for normalising aspects of the birthing process.
