Jack P Shepherd has shared an adorable parenting update after welcoming daughter Constance earlier this year<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Coronation Street actor and his wife, Hanni, welcomed a baby girl named Constance Ita Shepherd, sharing that their daughter had been born “peacefully at home” and “surrounded by love” on 26 June.<\/p>\n

The pair have mostly kept Constance out of the spotlight since, with the David Platt star offering a rare update while appearing on the On The Sofa podcast.<\/p>\n

Speaking to co-stars Colson Smith and Ben Price, Jack said he had a story to share about Constance going swimming.<\/p>\n

Ben asked if she had done that “underwater swimming”, to which Jack shared that she had been “dunked underwater” during the lesson.<\/p>\n

The Nick Tilsley actor explained to listeners that babies are born with built-in reflexes that automatically block their airways and slow their heart rates when submerged in water.<\/p>\n

“I think you have to do it when they’re roughly newborn, but obviously she’s not newborn now, she’s three months, so I think that ship has sailed.”<\/p>\n

It comes after Jack appeared on the podcast back in July to explain how he and his partner had chosen the name Constance. <\/p>\n

“What you do is when you’re picking names, you Google,” Shepherd explained. “You’ll go French names, Italian names, something that’s a bit, you know, European and posh. That’s what we were thinking.”<\/p>\n

He said that they wanted something “unusual”, adding: “Constance came up and it was probably the only one that we both agreed on.”<\/p>\n

Jack has three children from two previous relationships, including daughter Nyla and son Ruben with ex-girlfriend Lauren Shippey, and son Greyson with Sammy Milewski. <\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
