World-famous DJ Calvin Harris and his wife, broadcaster and presenter Vick Hope, have welcomed their first child — a baby boy named Micah — in a heartfelt and intimate home birth. The couple, known for fiercely guarding their privacy, surprised fans with the announcement via Calvin’s Instagram, where he shared raw and emotional photos from the moment their son entered the world.
“20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!” the Scottish-born musician wrote. “My wife is a superhero, and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much, Micah.”
Among the Instagram carousel were glimpses into the couple’s natural home birth setup, including some graphic images of the placenta being preserved in a dehumidifier and later encapsulated into postpartum recovery pills — a rising trend among holistic-minded new parents.
A Low-Key Pregnancy with Royal Encounters
The couple kept Vick’s pregnancy largely under wraps until earlier this year when her baby bump made a surprise public debut during a royal engagement. The Countryfile host was glowing as she joined Prince William and young farmers at Folly Farm in Somerset to champion mental health awareness in rural communities.
Dressed in cream tailored trousers and a matching blouse beneath a camel coat, Vick cradled her bump as she shared thoughtful conversations with the Prince of Wales. The moment quietly confirmed what fans had long speculated — that she and Calvin were starting a family.
Why They Chose Privacy
It’s no surprise the couple remained quiet throughout the pregnancy. In a previous interview with HELLO! magazine, Vick reflected on her choice to keep personal milestones away from the spotlight.
“I was very overwhelmed by the interest in it [our engagement], but I’m keeping my private life private,” she said candidly. “I’ve never really experienced this before about my private life, but it’s just for us.”
From “No” to “I Do”: Calvin & Vick’s Modern Love Story
Calvin and Vick’s relationship is nothing short of a rom-com arc. The pair tied the knot in September 2023 in a Glastonbury-inspired celebration surrounded by friends and music — but their story began much earlier.
In fact, they first met back in 2007, when a then-19-year-old Vick turned Calvin down for a date.
“It’s something we laughed about on our first proper date, and we still laugh about it now,” she revealed to You Magazine. Later, she joked on Capital FM that she opted for a night out with “Scouting for Girls or The Wombats,” assuming they were going to be the next big thing — only to see Calvin become a global chart-topping superstar.
What’s Next for the New Parents?
As Calvin takes a brief step back from the decks and Vick embraces motherhood alongside her presenting career, fans are eager to watch this new chapter unfold — even if most of it will likely remain behind closed doors.
Still, in those quiet, filtered glimpses shared online, one thing is clear: Micah is already at the heart of a love story 18 years in the making.
