Calvin Harris Divides Fans After Posting Graphic Placenta Photos in Birth Announcement

Scottish DJ Calvin Harris has divided opinions online after announcing the birth of his son, Micah, with a series of intimate photographs, the most talked-about being a graphic image of wife Vick Hope’s placenta and the process of turning it into capsules.

The 41-year-old shared the news with his 11 million followers on social media yesterday (August 4), revealing their child was born on July 20 during a home water birth at the couple’s property in Ibiza.

Alongside tender shots of himself holding the newborn and a candlelit image of his wife in the birthing pool, Harris also included detailed photos of Hope’s placenta being dehydrated and ground into powder for encapsulation and later consumption.
