Jack Osbourne Names Newborn Daughter Ozzy — Heartbreaking Tribute to His Late Father Moves Millions
In a profoundly moving tribute that has deeply touched fans and the rock community alike, Jack Osbourne and his wife Aree Gearhart have joyfully welcomed their second child together—a baby girl named Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, in loving honor of Jack’s late father, the legendary Ozzy Osbourne.The little one arrived on March 5, 2026, weighing 7 pounds and 12 ounces (though some reports note a slight variation to 7 pounds 4 ounces), bringing new light and hope to the Osbourne family.
The couple shared the heartwarming announcement on March 11 via a joint Instagram post, featuring a tender black-and-white video of the peacefully sleeping newborn cradled with a plush bat toy—a sweet and playful reference to Ozzy’s iconic “Prince of Darkness” persona and his famous bat-biting stage incident that became rock legend.This birth represents a beautiful full-circle moment for the family, arriving just under eight months after Ozzy Osbourne’s passing on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. Jack has openly shared how he was able to inform his father about the pregnancy prior to his death, calling the news a much-needed “healing distraction” amid the overwhelming grief that followed the rock icon’s battle with health issues, including Parkinson’s disease.
As Jack’s fifth child overall, baby Ozzy joins a lively sibling group that includes her big sister Maple Artemis Osbourne (the couple’s first child together, now around 3 years old) and Jack’s three older daughters from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly: Pearl, Andy, and Minnie. The unique and whimsical naming tradition continues in the family, blending rock heritage with heartfelt sentiment.The gesture of naming their daughter Ozzy ensures that the enduring spirit, rebellious energy, and legendary legacy of the Black Sabbath frontman live on vividly through the next generation, offering comfort and celebration to fans worldwide during what has been a difficult time for the Osbourne family. Congratulations to Jack, Aree, and the entire clan on this precious new addition!
