Coronation Street veteran Jack P. Shepherd has been showered with praise and well wishes as he marks a special personal milestone. 

Best known for his long-standing role as David Platt, the beloved soap star has been at the heart of some of Weatherfield’s most dramatic storylines since he joined the show in 2000.

While David continues to be a central character on-screen—most recently entangled in a dangerous situation 

after stealing money from criminals Harvey and Damon Hay—2025 is also shaping up to be a landmark year for Jack off-screen. 

The actor is preparing to tie the knot with his fiancée, Hanni Treweek, and as he celebrated his 37th birthday, fans and co-stars alike were eager to send their love.

Jack P. Shepherd’s Birthday Sparks Joy Among Fans and Co-Stars

Jack’s fiancée, Hanni Treweek, took to social media to celebrate his birthday with a heartfelt message. Sharing a series of pictures of her soon-to-be husband with her 23,500 Instagram followers, she wrote:

“The year I get to call you my husband. Happy birthday baby.”

The post quickly gained traction, with fans and celebrity friends rushing to send their best wishes. Jack himself couldn’t resist adding his own humorous touch to the post, joking in the comments:

“Good god there’s some gorgeous pictures on there. Who’s he?! He’s stunning.”

Jack’s Coronation Street co-stars also joined in to celebrate the occasion. Samia Longchambon, who plays Maria Windass, shared her love, writing:

“Happy birthday @jackpshepherd88. Love ya X.”

Georgia Taylor, best known as Toyah Battersby, followed suit, posting:

“Aw happy birthday @jackpshepherd88. We love you.”

Sally Carman, who portrays Abi Webster, kept it short and sweet with:

“Happy birthday Jack!”

The outpouring of support and affection highlighted Jack’s enduring popularity, both with viewers and those who work alongside him on the show.

A Love Story That Began Behind the Scenes

Jack and Hanni’s relationship has been a source of joy for fans, particularly since the couple announced their engagement last year. The Coronation Street star popped the question during a luxurious getaway to Zanzibar, sharing the happy news with a joint Instagram post that delighted their followers.

The couple’s love story began behind the scenes of the show, though their romance didn’t immediately blossom. Jack revealed in an interview with OK! Magazine that their connection deepened at a mutual friend’s wedding.

“We met at Corrie, but we only really knew each other to say hello to at work. Then our mutual friends got married and we were both guests at the wedding. We got chatting. I made Hanni laugh. We had a couple of drinks and we flirted. That was it.”

Since then, their relationship has gone from strength to strength, with Jack frequently referring to Hanni as his “soulmate.”

Looking Ahead to a Special Year

With wedding preparations underway, 2025 is set to be a memorable year for Jack and Hanni. The couple has shared glimpses of their journey together, and fans eagerly await updates on their big day.

Jack was previously in a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lauren Shippey, with whom he shares two children, Reuben and Nyla. However, he has since found happiness with Hanni, and their upcoming wedding marks an exciting new chapter in his life.

As he celebrates turning 37 and looks ahead to his wedding, Jack P. Shepherd remains a beloved figure in British television, both for his gripping performances on Coronation Street and for his charming personality off-screen.

With his wedding on the horizon and David Platt still causing drama on the Cobbles, fans can expect plenty more memorable moments from the Coronation Street star in the months to come.
