Soap actor Jack P Shepherd and his wife have revealed that they are expecting their first baby together, just over six months after tying the knot.

The happy couple shared the news on Instagram on Saturday with a reel of a photo shoot organised to mark the exciting announcement.

‘We’ve been keeping a secret…June 2026 🤍,’ the caption read, alongside a montage of Jack in smart black trousers and a white shirt and wife Hanni in a cream lace dress walking hand-in-hand and posing with their hands on her baby bump.

They also both carried a pair of knitted cream baby booties.

Jack, who also took part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2025, married Hanni in Manchester Cathedral on July 26 last year.

Plenty of his Corrie pals and colleagues shared their well wishes over the news in the comments, with Catherine Tyldesley, who played Eva Price on the soap, writing: ‘Congratulations beautiful people.’

‘Congratulations darling 💖,’ added Jack’s former co-star Helen Flanagan, while Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria, wrote: ‘Congratulations guys!!! So happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️🫶🏼🥰’
