Jack P. Shepherd also does theater along with the show. He also contributes to Comedy Central’s show ‘Grouchy Young Men’ which is a spin-off of the show ‘Grumpy Old Men’. Jack P. Shepherd is a wealthy man and has bought himself a new sports car.
In the third week of August 2017, Jack P. Shepherd was seen in Manchester driving through the city in his supercar. It is a black Maserati which glittered in the summer sun and stood out against the backdrop of the gray city buildings.
People did stop to look and stare at the ‘beauty’. Jack P. Shepherd was at the wheel wearing his sunshades and with his car windows pulled down. Jack P.
Shepherd’s new car costs £50000, a sum which such a highly paid star can easily afford. Jack P. Shepherd also pays maintenance and child support for six-year-old Greyson James.
Who is Greyson James?
Jack P. Shepherd has a longtime girlfriend called Lauren Shippey whom he has been dating since 2002. In 2004, the two moved in together. Lauren Shippey is a successful makeup and hair artist.
Lauren gave birth to a daughter named Nyla Rae Shepherd on 13 February 2009. In April 2010, Jack P. Shepherd had a one-night stand with former model Sammy Milewski whom he had met at Oracle Bar, Leeds.
Sammy later told in an interview that Jack P. Shepherd had told her that he is single. He cheated on his girlfriend Lauren. Sammy came to know that she was pregnant in May 2010.
When she informed Jack about her pregnancy, he pressurized her for a termination. But Sammy continued with the pregnancy and also came out about Jack’s one-night stand with her.
Sammy delivered a baby boy on 6 January 2011 at Rotherham General Hospital, South Yorks. She named him Greyson James. Jack did not acknowledge the child.
Hence Sammy who works as a sales executive got a DNA paternity test which proved that Jack indeed was the father. Sammy asked for £ 1000 as child support.
Justifying her asking for this money, Sammy said:
“There is no one to support me financially and I have to make sure Greyson has everything that he needs. Simple things like nappies are so expensive.”
So Greyson James is Jack P. Shepherd’s love child. But Jack refused to see the child and only pays child support to him. He has to this date not seen the child’s face or cuddled him when he was small.
His girlfriend has pardoned Jack for his one-night stand. On 17 December 2011, she delivered another child named Reuben Shepherd.

Greyson’s painful medical condition
Jack’s love child Greyson James is currently 6 years old. He is a lovely and brave child but he suffers from AHC (Alternating hemiplegia of childhood).
Greyson gets repeated attacks of brief paralysis of one or the other side of the body including the face which lasts for a few days but is intensely painful during the attack time.
He was often hospitalized during these attacks in the first two years of his life since he also used to get respiratory difficulties. He had last suffered this attack in March 2017.
Sammy is bringing up her child Greyson almost single-handedly. She feels sad that Jack has totally ignored his own child.
She told in an interview in Mirror:
“Our situation is very tough and having a dad in Greyson’s life would be a help.”
Alternating Hemiplegia of childhood (AHC)
It is a rare neurological condition in which there are recurrent episodes of temporary weakness or paralysis involving one or the other side of the body including the face.
There may be associated difficulty in speaking, eating, or breathing. Autonomic dysfunction such as sweating, tremors, pallor, and altered body temperature may be seen. The episode may last a few days to weeks.
The cause is not known and there is no cure for this disorder. Relief medicines are provided to the child. The paralysis disappears during sleep. As the child grows, the frequency of attacks lessens but the condition is a lifelong problem.
