Coronation Street actor Jack P. Shepherd and his wife, Hanni Treweek, officially announced the birth of their first child together on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
The 38-year-old soap opera star, famous for his long-running portrayal of David Platt on the ITV series, shared the joyous news through a collaborative social media update.
The wonderful arrival marks a major milestone for the couple following their beautiful wedding ceremony last year.
The couple chose to share their happiness by publishing a tender black-and-white photograph on their respective Instagram accounts.
The image featured the newborn baby gently gripping Jack's finger, accompanied by a brief caption revealing that Hanni gave birth to a healthy baby earlier in the weekend.
While the new parents opted to keep the baby's name and specific birth weight private during the initial announcement, they expressed immense gratitude toward the medical staff at their local hospital.
Jack praised his wife’s incredible strength throughout the labor process, labeling her an absolute superhero.
Friends, family, and millions of soap opera fans immediately flooded the comment sections with warm wishes and congratulations for the expanding family.
The birth of their child introduces an exciting new chapter for Jack and Hanni, who have enjoyed a highly publicized and loving relationship for several years.
The pair first met on the set of Coronation Street, where Hanni previously worked as part of the show's script writing and production team.
After several years of dating, Jack proposed during a romantic safari vacation, and the couple later tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony attended by numerous past and present co-stars.
While this baby represents Hanni’s first child, Jack is already an experienced father, sharing two children, Niamh and Reuben, with his former partner, Lauren Shippey, alongside a son named Greyson from a previous relationship.
