Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd and his wife Hanni Treweek have revealed they are set to become parents, sharing the joyful news on Valentine's Day.
The couple, who exchanged vows at Manchester Cathedral in July last year, posted a touching video on Instagram this morning announcing they are expecting their first child together in June 2026.
"We've been keeping a secret...June 2026," the pair wrote alongside the footage, thanking the "dream team who made this so special for us."
The 38-year-old soap star, best known for portraying David Platt on the ITV programme since he was 12 years old, proposed to Hanni, 35, during a safari trip in 2024.
Their pregnancy announcement comes just over six months after their star-studded Manchester wedding ceremony.
The professionally shot footage was captured at Grantley Hall in Ripon, North Yorkshire, where the expectant couple wandered through the grounds of the country house.
Ms Treweek looked radiant in a flowing white gown as she cradled her growing bump throughout the video, while Mr P Shepherd appeared in a crisp white shirt paired with black trousers.
Several tender moments showed the David Platt actor kneeling to kiss his wife's stomach, with the pair also pictured embracing and placing their hands on her bump together.

In one clip, the couple held up a pair of tiny cream knitted baby booties, signalling their excitement for their new arrival.
The comments section beneath the announcement was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow soap stars and colleagues.
Catherine Tyldesley, who portrayed Eva Price on the cobbles, wrote: "Congratulations beautiful people," while Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, simply responded: "Amazing."
Samia Longchambon, known for her role as Maria Connor, gushed: "Congratulations guys!!! So happy for you both."

Tyrone Dobbs star Alan Halsall added his well wishes, writing: "Congratulations!!! So happy for the pair you."
The celebrations extended beyond Weatherfield, with Emmerdale's Danny Miller penning: "Congratulations guys" alongside a heart-eyed emoji.
Other stars offering their congratulations included Helen Flanagan, Claire Sweeney, Jane Danson, Julia Goulding, Paddy Bever, Georgia Taylor, and Daniel Brocklebank, who recently departed the soap.
The couple's romance began when Ms Treweek was employed in the Coronation Street press office, though their relationship only blossomed after they attended a mutual friend's wedding together.

Speaking to OK! Magazine in 2020, Mr P Shepherd recalled: "We got chatting, I made Hanni laugh, we had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it."
A chance encounter at a Sainsbury's supermarket later sparked an exchange of text messages that led to their first date.
Ms Treweek subsequently worked as a storyliner on the ITV soap before leaving to pursue a career as a fashion influencer.
This will be the couple's first child together, though Mr P Shepherd is already father to three children from previous relationships, including daughter Nyla Rae and son Ruben with ex-girlfriend Lauren Shippey, and son Greyson with Sammy Milewski.
