In a moment that fused raw grief with radiant hope, Jack Osbourne, 40, dissolved into tears on live British television after receiving life-changing news from the Australian jungle: his wife Aree Gearhart, 34, is expecting their second child. The revelation came during the December 2, 2025, episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, where Jack—deep into the show’s grueling trials and just months after burying his rock legend father Ozzy Osbourne—choked back sobs as he read the letter from Aree. “I just want to go home to my wife right now,” he whispered, voice cracking under the weight of emotion, as fellow campmates encircled him in a tear-streaked huddle. Coming on the heels of Ozzy’s heartbreaking passing in July 2025 from a heart attack at 76, this unborn baby feels like “a little angel sent to heal our family’s pain,” Jack later shared in a heartfelt video message to fans. Vowing to “fight for the win as a gift for my wife and children,” the TV personality transformed personal tragedy into unyielding resolve, reminding viewers that even in darkness, new light can flicker.

The announcement, relayed via the show’s signature letter-reading ritual, unfolded amid the humid haze of the Australian bush, where Jack has been battling creepy crawlies and camp chores since the series kicked off November 16, 2025. Aree’s note detailed the surprise pregnancy—due summer 2026—and painted vivid pictures of their daughter Maple Artemis, now 3, already doting on her “baby sister” with tiny hand-me-down onesies and whispered lullabies. “We’re growing our family in the most beautiful way,” Aree wrote, enclosing ultrasound images that Jack clutched like sacred relics. Overwhelmed, he collapsed into Ant McPartlin’s arms, murmuring, “Dad would be over the moon—another grandkid to spoil rotten.” Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness whose larger-than-life legacy shadowed Jack’s own path—from The Osbournes chaos to his MS diagnosis in 2012—had doted on Maple fiercely in his final months, sharing cartoon snuggles and gravelly bedtime stories. His funeral in Birmingham, attended by the full Osbourne clan including Jack’s blended brood, was a raw send-off; this news, Jack said, feels like Ozzy’s “cosmic wink from above.”

Jack and Aree’s love story is one of quiet triumphs amid public tempests. Meeting on dating app Raya in 2019 amid Jack’s divorce from ex-wife Lisa Stelly (with whom he shares daughters Pearl, 13; Andy, 10; and Minnie, 7), their bond blossomed fast. Engaged by December 2021, they welcomed Maple on July 9, 2022—a “summer miracle” Jack announced with a tender Instagram post: “Baby #4 here we come!” Their secret wedding at California’s San Ysidro Ranch in September 2023 was an intimate affair, far from the Osbourne spotlight, with Aree’s interior design flair turning the venue into a boho haven of wildflowers and whispered vows. Blending families seamlessly—Jack’s “girl squad” now includes Maple as the baby of the bunch—Aree has been Jack’s steadfast anchor through MS flares, career pivots (from Ghost Adventures to his 2025 podcast Ghosts and Grit), and the seismic loss of Ozzy. “She’s my North Star,” Jack often says, crediting her for the structured parenting that contrasts his own rock ‘n’ roll upbringing under Ozzy and Sharon.

The jungle revelation hit like a thunderclap, amplifying Jack’s already poignant run on I’m a Celeb. Entering as a wildcard after Ozzy’s death (“Dad always said face fears head-on,” he told hosts Ant and Dec), Jack’s vulnerability has endeared him to viewers— from Bushtucker Trial bravery (he aced the “Viper Vault” despite arachnophobia) to campfire confessions about MS’s “unpredictable monster.” This news? A game-changer. “It’s fuel,” he told Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp post-letter, wiping tears with a camp towel. “For Aree, for Maple, for Pearl, Andy, Minnie—for Dad. I’ll win this for them.” Fans, already voting him a frontrunner (odds at 3/1 per Ladbrokes), surged support: #JackBaby2 trended globally with 1.5 million mentions, X ablaze with “Jack’s tears = my tears—Ozzy’s grandbaby healing the Osbournes!” (@OzzyFanForever, 80k likes). Celeb pals rallied: Kelly Osbourne posted a sibling selfie captioned “Uncle Jack’s got this—love to Aree & bump!” while Sharon quipped, “Another mini-Osbourne? Heaven help us all—in the best way.”

Jack’s MS journey adds layers to this joy. Diagnosed at 26, the relapsing-remitting form has forced career halts and family adaptations, but fatherhood reignited his fire. “These girls—and now this little one—keep me moving,” he shared in a 2024 People interview. With Aree’s support (she’s helmed family relos from LA to Idaho’s ranches for his wellness pursuits), Jack’s channeling the news into jungle grit, eyeing the crown as “my family’s trophy.” As I’m a Celeb barrels toward its December 8 finale, Jack’s story transcends reality TV: it’s resilience reborn, grief gilded with grace. Ozzy’s spirit—wild, wicked, wondrous—lives on in this legacy. For Jack, going home isn’t escape; it’s embrace. To Aree, the girls, and their growing miracle: the win’s already yours
