Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd has announced the arrival of his first child with wife Hanni Treweek, a baby girl named Constance Ita Shepherd. The couple shared the news on Instagram, describing the birth as peaceful and at home, surrounded by love.
Jack, 38, and Hanni, 37, revealed the name in a series of first pictures of their daughter. The pair married last year after meeting while working on the ITV soap, where Hanni was a storyliner and Jack plays David Platt.
The new arrival is the couple's first child together, with Jack already father to three children from previous relationships. He has two sons and a daughter, including children with ex-partner Lauren Shippey and a son with Sammy Milewski.
Friends and colleagues sent congratulations, including actor Chris Hughes, who wrote: 'Well done the pair of you,' and Georgia Taylor, who said: 'Oh darling! So thrilled for you both and what a beautiful name.' Sue Devaney, Gareth Pierce and Sally Dynevor also shared warm messages.
The couple announced they were expecting last year with a video of knitted baby boots. Jack recently confirmed he is taking a break from Coronation Street after more than 26 years in the role, having joined in 2000. His current storyline has seen his character support brother Nick Tilsley amid family turmoil.
