Calvin Harris, the renowned DJ and former boyfriend of Taylor Swift, made a rare public comment about his new wife Vick Hope during the 2024 Brit Awards. While accepting the award for Best Dance Act, Harris took the opportunity to express his gratitude towards various individuals who have played a significant role in his musical journey. He started by dedicating the award to Danny Rampling’s Love Groove Dance Party and then went on to thank Ellie Goulding for her contribution to his hit track ‘Miracles’.
In his acceptance speech, Harris acknowledged the pivotal role played by Ellie Goulding in the success of ‘Miracles’, stating that he wouldn’t be standing on that stage if it weren’t for her remarkable talent. He also expressed his appreciation for an old friend who is currently collaborating with him, emphasizing the importance of having a strong support system in the music industry. Harris concluded his speech by thanking his “beautiful wife”, Vick Hope.
The Mystery Surrounding their Relationship
Calvin Harris and British TV presenter Vick Hope managed to keep the early days of their relationship under wraps, choosing to spend quality time together at Harris’s sprawling 138-acre farm in Ibiza. Despite owning multiple multi-million-pound homes in Los Angeles, Harris invested in Terra Masia, Ibiza’s largest organic farm, where the couple enjoyed private moments away from the public eye. While reports suggest that Harris proposed to Hope under a grand tree on the farm in 2022, the couple decided to tie the knot in Northumberland, England instead.
A Private Affair
When questioned about their engagement, Vick Hope opted to keep the details private, expressing her desire to maintain a level of discretion in her personal life. At HELLO!’s Inspiration Awards, Hope mentioned feeling overwhelmed by the sudden interest in her engagement but emphasized the importance of keeping certain aspects of her life private. This marked a stark contrast to the high-profile relationship that Harris had with Taylor Swift between 2015 and 2016.
During his relationship with Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris co-wrote the hit track ‘This is What You Came For’, featuring Rihanna. The couple made several public appearances together, but their romance came to an end in 2016. Following their breakup, there were hints of tension between the two, with Harris reportedly shading Swift in a tweet related to her feud with Katy Perry.
Calvin Harris’s acknowledgment of his wife Vick Hope at the Brit Awards sheds light on his personal life and the journey that led him to success. Despite the challenges and controversies that may have arisen in his past relationships, Harris remains focused on his music and continues to thrive in the ever-evolving music industry.
