Coronation Street actor Jack P. Shepherd and his wife, writer Hanni Treweek, have given fans a heartwarming glimpse into their first Christmas together as a married couple. The pair, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony last summer, posted a joyful carousel of images on social media to mark the occasion.
Festive Celebrations as Newlyweds
In the shared post, captioned 'Our first Christmas as Mr and Mrs Shepherd. We hope you all had a magical one', the couple beamed with happiness. Hanni, 35, stunned in a glamorous beaded mini dress paired with leather boots, while Jack, 37, was all smiles. The photos offered a peek into their lavish festive celebrations, showcasing a picture-perfect holiday season for the newlyweds.
A Dream Wedding Funded by Reality TV
The couple's journey to the altar was a romantic one. Jack proposed during a safari in Tanzania in 2022, and they married at Manchester Cathedral in July 2023. In a candid revelation, the actor, famed for playing David Platt since he was 12, admitted he entered and won Celebrity Big Brother earlier in 2023 specifically to help pay for their 'dream day'. A source told The Sun at the time that no expense was spared for the grand cathedral wedding, which was attended by many of Jack's Corrie co-stars.
From Colleagues to Soulmates
Jack and Hanni's love story began in 2017, after initially meeting when she worked in the soap's press office. Despite being colleagues, their romance truly sparked at a mutual friend's wedding where Jack made Hanni laugh. Their connection was later cemented by a chance meeting in a Sainsbury's supermarket, which led to texting, a first date, and a blossoming relationship. Hanni later worked as a storyliner on Coronation Street before leaving to become a fashion influencer.
The social media post serves as a sweet conclusion to a landmark year for the couple, which saw their fairytale wedding and now their first festive season as husband and wife.
