Coronation Street actor Jack P. Shepherd and his wife Hanni have joyfully announced they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who tied the knot in a Manchester ceremony last July, shared their exciting news through a touching Instagram video posted on Valentine's Day.
A Heartwarming Announcement
Hanni posted a video showing the pair walking through the grounds of a picturesque country house. In the clip, Jack, aged 38 and renowned for his long-running role as David Platt on the ITV soap, is seen lovingly cradling and kissing his wife's baby bump. Hanni looked radiant in a stunning white sleeveless dress, while Jack appeared dapper in a crisp white shirt paired with black trousers.
Accompanying the video, Hanni wrote a heartfelt caption: 'We’ve been keeping a secret…June 2026. Thank you so much to the dream team who made this so special for us.' This announcement marks a significant milestone for the couple, who have been in a relationship since 2017.
Jack's Existing Family and Career
Jack P. Shepherd is already a father to three children from previous relationships. He shares daughter Nyla Rae and son Ruben with his ex-girlfriend Lauren Shippey, and has another son named Greyson with his ex-partner Sammy Milewski. The actor has been a fixture on Coronation Street since he was just 12 years old, becoming a beloved figure on the show.
Earlier this year, Jack gained further public attention by winning Celebrity Big Brother. He previously disclosed that his participation in the reality show was motivated by a desire to fund his wedding to Hanni. The couple's nuptials were held at the grand Manchester Cathedral in July, described by a source as their 'dream day' with no expense spared.
Hanni's Background and Relationship
Hanni and Jack first met through Coronation Street, where she initially worked in the press office. She later transitioned to a role as a storyliner on the soap before leaving to pursue a career as a fashion influencer. Their relationship blossomed from professional connections into a romantic partnership, culminating in their marriage last year.
A source close to the couple told The Sun at the time of their wedding that the ceremony was a lavish affair, held at Manchester Cathedral and attended by numerous guests, including many of Jack's Coronation Street co-stars. The insider emphasized that the pair were determined to create a perfect, memorable celebration.
Now, with the announcement of their first child together due in June 2026, Jack and Hanni are embarking on an exciting new chapter in their lives, adding to their growing family and sharing their joy with fans and followers.
