Jack Osbourne just welcomed his fifth child and paid an emotional tribute to his late father, the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. The Jack Osbourne Welcomes New Daughter With Emotional Nod To Late Father first appeared on The Blast
Jack Osbourne welcomed a new baby with his wife, Aree Gearhart, sharing the exciting news on social media. The proud father revealed that his daughter’s name is a heartfelt tribute to his late father, Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of the English rock band Black Sabbath, who passed away in 2025.
Jack Osbourne Introduced His New Daughter To The World
On March 11, Jack posted a black-and-white video of his new daughter on Instagram, introducing his followers to the newest addition to his family.
In the short clip, the baby is sleeping on a floral sheet accompanied by a bat plushie. A birth identification card is also displayed, listing the baby’s name as Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. Baby Ozzy was born on March 5 at 8:49 a.m., weighing 7 pounds and 12 ounces.
Jack’s touching tribute to his late father was acknowledged by his followers. One wrote, “May she be as creative and kind as her grandfather.” Another commented, “Yay, we have another Ozzy Osbourne! The world is right again.”
The rock icon was born John Michael Osbourne and got the nickname Ozzy in primary school. “Ozzy” was a shortened version of his surname that other students used to tease him, but instead of getting annoyed, he owned it.
Aree Gearheart’s Pregnancy Gave The Osbourne Family Hope In Their Grief
In December 2025, Jack shared the news that his wife was 28 weeks pregnant. In an interview with The Sun, he said that the pregnancy was much-needed after they had a tough year as a family. Ozzy passed away in July 2025, and the family is still grieving his loss.
“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing – partly in that kind of ‘full circle’ category, in a weird way,” Jack told the outlet, adding that part of the grief was turned into hope.
A few weeks after Ozzy’s death, Jack posted a video montage tribute to his father on social media, writing, “My heart has hurt too much.” Jack added that he felt blessed to have called Ozzy his father. “My heart is full os fo much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.”
Baby Ozzy Is Jack Osbourne’s Fifth Daughter
With the addition of Ozzy, Jack is now a father of five. The TV personality has three kids with his ex-wife, Lisa Stelly. Pearl Clementine was born in 2012, followed by Andy Rose in 2015. Their third daughter, Minnie Theodora, was born in 2018.
Jack and Stelly’s divorce was finalized in 2019. He started dating Gearheart that same year and got engaged two years later. They welcomed their first child together, Maple Artemis, in 2022, and in the following year, the couple got married. Ozzy Matilda’s birth makes Jack a father of five girls.
As noted by Jack, he and Gearheart had planned to have another child, but it happened a bit earlier than expected. “It’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously,” he shared.
Ozzy Osbourne Had A Fight With Jack That Changed His Perspective
In an interview with Variety in 2021, Ozzy admitted that he wasn’t a present father to his children. The iconic rock star struggled with alcoholism and addiction but had been sober since 2013 or 2014. In the same interview, Jack talked about his own battle, which led to a stint in rehab. He has been sober since 2003.
Looking back, Ozzy said that he came to a realization after having a fight with Jack. “I had a row with Jack. I had to talk business. And I said, ‘What have you ever f-cking wanted? I’ll give you whatever you want.’ He says, ‘What about a father’?”
According to Ozzy, that moment made him realize that it didn’t matter whether he gave his children material things if their father wasn’t around.
Ozzy Osbourne Loved Being A Grandfather
In an interview with Fox News in 2023, Jack revealed that Ozzy loved babysitting his grandchildren. However, he said his father had boundaries. When it comes to changing diapers, it was a firm no for the rock star.
Ozzy also refused to cuddle in bed with Jack’s daughters and watch TV. “He’s like, ‘I dont want them going to school being like, ‘I was in bed with my grandpa.’ He’s like, ‘No, not dealing with it.’,” Jack shared.
Despite the boundaries, Ozzy doted on his grandchildren. As he told The Guardian shortly before his death, “It’s time for me to spend some time with my grandkids, I don’t want to die in a hotel room somewhere. I want to spend the rest of my life with my family.”
