Who is Lauren Shippey? Jack P Shepherd’s ex-fiance and childhood sweetheart threw him out after Sammy Milewski one-night stand
The pair have been long-term engaged but despite working through an infidelity revelation in 2011, have reportedly decided to call it quits
LAUREN Shippey and her other half Jack P Shepherd have reportedly called it quits after 15 years and two children together.
Here's everything you need to know about her...
Who is Lauren Shippey?
Lauren is a 29-year-old make-up artist and performing arts teacher from Manchester.
The 13 Performing Arts School, which is based in Swinton, is partly run by Lauren alongside Corrie star, Jack P Shepherd.
She is represented by Red 13 management.
How long has Lauren been with Jack P Shepherd?
Lauren and Jack have been dating for 15 years, and got engaged in 2011.
Jack was just 14 years old when he began seeing Lauren.
In February 2009, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter called Nyla.
The couple then went on to have another baby, a son called Reuben, in December 2013.
Who is Sammy Milewski?
Just one month before Jack and Lauren's engagement news became public, the Corrie star hit the headlines.
A DNA test confirmed that Jack had fathered a baby with a sales executive called Sammy Milewski.
The love child, a little boy called Greyson, was the result of a one-night stand.
Lauren initially threw Jack out, but she later decided to forgive his infidelity.
He presented Lauren with a £3,000 engagement ring and, at the time, a friend said: "Lauren understands Jack made a terrible mistake.
"Now he has made the ultimate statement that he wants to be with her for the rest of his life.”
Has Jack ever met Greyson?
Jack has paid child maintenance to Greyson since it was confirmed he is his father, however it is believed he has never met his son.
Now aged six, Greyson suffers from an incredibly rare and painful condition called ADC - which stands for Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood.
The illness causes sudden and painful paralysis in random parts of the body, including the face.
Greyson has to take medication daily and was left paralysed for two days earlier this year following a particularly bad episode.
Why have Jack and Lauren called time on their relationship?
Despite Jack's infidelity, Lauren managed to put his cheating behind her and the couple stayed together for a further six years.
However, on 27 October 2017, Jack's spokesman confirmed to The Sun Online that they had split.
In a statement, the rep said: “Jack and Lauren remain the best of friends and their main focus is the care of their children.”
It is believed they are still living together in their family home in Manchester.
