The couple opted for a natural, at-home birth—an event Harris shared through a series of raw and deeply personal photos posted on Instagram.

Some users commented that they were unprepared for such personal images and called for clearer content warnings. “Beautiful moment, but I wasn’t expecting to see that,” wrote one commenter, while another added, “This should have had a trigger warning.”

Despite the mixed reactions, Harris’s heartfelt tribute to his wife stole the spotlight. In his caption, he called Vic Hope a “superhero” and spoke with deep admiration:

“Our boy Micah arrived on July 20. My wife is a superhero. I admire her deeply for her ancient, primal wisdom. I’m simply filled with gratitude. Micah, we love you so much.”

The post highlights not only a major life event for the couple but also the growing trend of celebrities sharing unfiltered glimpses into personal milestones—sparking broader discussions around privacy, social norms, and digital storytelling in 2025.
