Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has been inundated with warm messages from fans and colleagues after sharing a touching update on his married life with wife Hanni Treweek.
From Soap Turbulence to Real-Life Bliss
The actor, who is 37 years old and has played the role of David Platt on the ITV soap since he was just 12, enjoys a peaceful personal life starkly different from his character's dramatic storylines. While David has been at the centre of plots involving revenge, violence, and a suicide attempt, Jack's off-screen world is one of marital happiness.
Jack and Hanni Treweek got married earlier this year in a Manchester ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. The wedding followed a romantic proposal during a safari holiday the year before. Notable guests included several of Jack's Coronation Street co-stars like Lucy Fallon, Alan Halsall, Tina O'Brien, and Helen Worth, who played his on-screen mother, as well as Celebrity Big Brother alum Chris Hughes.
A Festive Celebration as Mr and Mrs
This Christmas marked a special milestone for the couple as their first festive season as husband and wife. They shared glimpses of their celebration on social media, posting photographs that showed them dressed up in front of a Christmas tree, with Hanni proudly displaying her wedding rings.
Hanni captioned the post: "Our first Christmas as Mr and Mrs Shepherd. We hope you all had a magical one." The update prompted a flood of supportive comments from admirers and friends, with messages praising the "beautiful couple" and calling them a "power couple."
On-Screen Drama Continues for David Platt
While Jack celebrates personal joy, his character David Platt faces ongoing turmoil on the cobbles. As David marks 25 years on the show, he and his on-screen wife Shona, played by Julia Goulding, are navigating a heartbreaking pregnancy storyline. They have discovered their unborn daughter has a mass on her neck, leaving them with a devastating choice between risky surgery and termination.
The drama is set to intensify in a special crossover episode with Emmerdale, airing on January 5, where Shona and expectant Charity Dingle are shown in distress after a car crash. Fans are left wondering if David and Shona will emerge from this latest ordeal unscathed.
Coronation Street continues to air on ITV and ITVX every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
