Calvin Harris Fans React to Shocking Birth Announcement: Placenta Photo Sparks Debate
Calvin Harris's Graphic Placenta Post Leaves Fans Reeling!
The DJ and his wife, Vick Hope, just welcomed their first child, Micah, into the world, but Calvin's Instagram post announcing the arrival has left fans talking – for all the wrong reasons!
The doting new dad shared a series of adorable snaps showcasing his "superhero" wife in a birthing pool and himself holding their newborn son. However, two photos caught people off guard: a graphic picture of Vick's placenta and an image of it being chopped up to be dried.
While some fans praised the couple for "normalizing" childbirth and sharing a part of the process that isn't often shown online, others were less than impressed. "A disclaimer about the placenta would've been nice though!" one person wrote, while another joked, "Warning: Don't swipe to the pic 4-6 if you are about to start your meal."
But what really got fans talking was the fact that Calvin and Vick have been following a rather...unconventional practice. After giving birth, Vick had her placenta dried and turned into pills, which she'll be taking as part of a postpartum recovery regime.
The Dark Side of Placentophagy
While some new moms swear by placentophagy, citing benefits like reduced postpartum depression and increased energy levels, experts are sounding the alarm. "As obstetricians, it's essential to tell the truth," said Dr. Amos Grunebaum, lead author of a study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. "And the truth is, there's no evidence that eating the placenta has any benefits, so therefore, don't do it."
In fact, consuming the placenta could potentially spread bacterial or viral infections, which is why many health experts advise against it.
Calvin's Cotswolds Empire
But what about Calvin's new life as a dad? Sources close to the couple reveal that they're set to move into a stunning five-bedroom mansion in Gloucestershire later this summer. The DJ has reportedly spent an eye-watering £15 million on properties in the area, including two neighboring homes and a third he's eyeing up.
And it seems Calvin's not just investing in real estate – he's also building a community of sorts. Locals have noticed that the DJ is snapping up properties left and right, transforming the sleepy village into his own private empire.
The Beckhams' New Neighbors?
But Calvin's not the only A-lister to call the Cotswolds home. Sources close to the couple reveal that they'll be rubbing shoulders with none other than David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Jeremy Clarkson – making it one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the UK!
The Real Story Behind Vick's Pregnancy
As for Vick Hope, she's been keeping her pregnancy under wraps until now. But sources close to the couple reveal that Vick has been open about her experiences as a new mom-to-be.
In fact, just last month, Vick confirmed on-air that she was pregnant while co-hosting her BBC Radio 1 show with Jamie Laing. "I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave," she revealed to her listeners.
What's Next for Calvin and Vick?
As they navigate life as new parents, it seems like Calvin and Vick are ready to take on the world – or at least, their Cotswolds empire. With their lavish mansion, adorable baby boy, and exclusive neighborhood, it's clear that this power couple is here to stay.
