Jack Osbourne and his wife Aree have welcomed their newborn daughter into the world.
Jack Osbourne and his spouse, Aree, are celebrating the arrival of their new baby girl.
In a heartfelt gesture, the couple decided to honor Jack’s late father, Ozzy Osbourne, by naming their daughter after him. Ozzy passed away at 76 in July of the previous year. They took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce the exciting news, sharing a touching black-and-white photo of their newest family member.
The image features the baby alongside a card inscribed with “Hello world,” indicating her birth date as Thursday, March 5. They have chosen the name Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, a poignant nod to her grandfather, cherished worldwide as The Prince of Darkness.
Jack, now 40, expressed his joy on his Instagram Story, stating, “She’s arrived and she’s perfect,” while friends and fans quickly filled the comments with their well-wishes and congratulations.
The couple’s social media pages have been inundated with warm messages from well-wishers celebrating their growing family.

Ozzy passed away just 17 days after performing a farewell concert with his legendary band Black Sabbath in England, which saw Jack and the entire Osbourne family make the journey from Los Angeles to Birmingham. Jack and Aree subsequently announced they were expecting their second child together in December, shortly after Jack’s appearance on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
Jack and Aree, who tied the knot at the San Ysidro Ranch in California in September 2023, are already parents to three year old daughter Maple. Jack also has three daughters from his previous marriage to first wife Lisa Stelly, which came to an end in 2019.
Speaking to The Sun, the media personality, who hails from London, discussed preparing to welcome his fifth child.

He explained: “We’re super excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”
Jack got engaged to Aree, an interior designer, in December 2021. Praising her at the time, Jack, a podcaster, remarked: “Her step-mom skills make my heart so full.”
The social media announcement was flooded with delighted comments and congratulations from supporters and celebrity friends.

Jack attributed Aree – and the pregnancy – with assisting him through the grief of losing his father.
He told the Sun: “I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing – probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way. It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.”
The baby’s arrival follows just days after Jack discussed his father’s final weeks before his passing.
During an appearance on the HATE TO BREAK IT TO YA podcast where he looked back on the closing weeks of his father’s life, Jack revealed a conversation he had with Ozzy the evening after the Sabbath farewell performance that left him with a heartbreaking realisation.
