Calvin Harris, Taylor Swift's former flame, expecting first child with wife Vick Hope

Calvin Harris, the 41-year-old Scottish DJ and music producer, known for his chart-topping hits and a past relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, is expecting his first child with his wife, Vick Hope. Hope, a prominent 35-year-old British television and radio presenter, subtly announced the joyous news through her social media platform.

In a recent Instagram post showcasing her professional engagements, eagle-eyed fans noticed Hope cradling a visible baby bump. One image captured a behind-the-scenes moment from her interview with actress Florence Pugh, while another showed her posing at the Big Weekend Liverpool 2025. A further snapshot featured Hope interviewing actor Jason Momoa. The presenter also shared the post on her Instagram Stories, playfully captioning it, "Lots going on lately

."

The announcement sparked a wave of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities. One commenter humorously referenced Hope's co-host Jamie Laing, writing, "Oh congratulations. Vick and Adam. Who going keep Jamie under control now." Another expressed their happiness, saying, "Congratulations darling. So happy for you both," while a third exclaimed, "Omg Vick!! Massive congratulations on your pregnancy." Harris and Hope exchanged vows in September 2023 during a private and intimate ceremony held in northeast England. The celebration was made even more special with a performance by the legendary Nile Rodgers and his band Chic for the wedding guests.

Prior to his relationship with Hope, Harris had an on-again, off-again romance with American model Aarika Wolf for several years. He was also linked to singers Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding in the past. However, it was his highly publicized relationship with Taylor Swift that garnered significant media attention. The pair dated for over a year, starting in 2015, and their affection was evident when Swift publicly kissed the DJ at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2015.

Reflecting on the intense public scrutiny of their relationship and subsequent breakup, Harris once shared in an interview with GQ in September 2016, "It's very difficult when something I consider so personal plays out very publicly. The aftermath of the relationship was way more heavily publicized than the relationship itself."

The aftermath of their split took a dramatic turn a month later when Swift's representative claimed that she had co-written Harris's hit song "This Is What You Came For." This revelation reportedly did not sit well with Harris, who took to social media to express his displeasure in a series of now-deleted tweets. In his messages, he suggested Swift should focus on her new relationship at the time rather than trying to undermine him. He also referenced her past public feuds, implying he would not be another target.

Despite the tumultuous end to their romantic involvement, both Harris and Swift have moved on in their personal lives. Harris found happiness with Vick Hope, and they are now embarking on the journey of parenthood. This new chapter marks a significant milestone for the couple, and the outpouring of well wishes indicates the public's delight in their happy news.
