Jack and Hanni have been dating since 2017, after meeting on the soap when she worked in the press office.
She later became a storyliner on the ITV show, before quitting to work as a fashion influencer.
The couple were inundated with well wishes when they announced the news.
Jack’s Corrie co-star Sam Aston wrote: ‘Awww what wonderful news ❤️ congratulations guys x’.
Claire Sweeney wote: ‘Congratulations xxx’ while Catherine Tyldesley added: ‘Congratulations beautiful people.’
The English actor has been Corrie royalty as first appeared on the soap when he was 12, playing the role of David Platt.

A source told The Sun earlier at the time that the pair were going all out to make sure it is their ‘dream day’.

‘Jack and Hanni are having their big white wedding at Manchester Cathedral on Saturday,’ they said.
‘They have gone all out to make sure it’s their dream day and there has been no expensed spared.’
‘It’s a very grand setting getting wed at the cathedral, and it will be packed with guests, including many of Jack’s Corrie co-stars.’
Despite being colleagues, their romance actually began when Jack impressed Hanni at a mutual friend’s wedding.
Speaking to OK! Magazine in 2020, Jack recalled: ‘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.’
The duo then later bumped into each other once again in a Sainsbury’s, which led to an exchange of texts and a blossoming romance.
He told The Daily Star: ‘I texted her afterwards and said ‘that was awkward’ and she told me she thought she looked a mess and then we started texting from there.
‘I actually thought she looked fit – I just saw the girl I fancy wearing Lycra! We quickly went on our first date and we just clicked.’
