In a moment of raw joy amid profound grief, Jack Osbourne, 40, dissolved into tears on live television upon learning that his wife, Aree Gearhart, 34, is expecting their second child—a baby boy—arriving in summer 2026. The announcement came during the December 2, 2025, episode of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, where Jack, deep in the Australian jungle, received the letter from Aree detailing the surprise pregnancy. Choking back sobs as campmates encircled him, Jack whispered, “I’ve become a dad four times already… but every single time feels like the first.” The revelation hit even harder on Ozzy Osbourne’s birthday—Jack’s late father, who passed from a heart attack in July 2025 at 79—turning what could have been bittersweet news into a poignant symbol of healing for the fractured Osbourne clan. “This little boy feels like a gift from Dad,” Jack shared in a post-show interview with The Sun, his voice thick with emotion. “It’s like he’s sending us light after the darkness.”

The Osbourne family’s 2025 has been a storm of loss: Ozzy’s sudden death left Sharon, 73, “heartbroken beyond words,” as she told The Daily Mail, while Jack grappled publicly on I’m a Celeb, confessing to campmates, “It was a shock—we knew he was sick, but not that quick.” Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness, doted on his grandchildren fiercely in his final months, sharing gravelly bedtime stories with Maple Artemis, Jack and Aree’s 3-year-old daughter born July 9, 2022. “Papa Ozzy would be over the moon—a grandson to spoil rotten,” Jack reflected, wiping tears. Aree, an interior designer who met Jack on dating app Raya in 2019 and secretly married him at California’s San Ysidro Ranch in September 2023, announced the pregnancy on Instagram with a photo of her baby bump: “Today is my birthday, but my gift doesn’t arrive till summer—a new member of our tribe coming 2026.” Jack reposted, adding, “Baby #5 here we come! Aree and our boy are happy and healthy.”

Jack’s blended family now expands to five children: daughters Pearl Clementine, 13; Andy Rose, 10; and Minnie Theodora, 7, from his 2012–2019 marriage to Lisa Stelly, plus Maple with Aree. “From girl dad to having a mini-me—it’s surreal,” Jack said, his voice breaking during the letter read. Campmates Jack Osbourne’s revelation prompted an outpouring: Aitch hugged him tightly, while Shona McGarty teared up, “Ozzy’s watching proud.” The episode’s emotional peak—Jack vowing, “I will fight, I will win… and I will come back to my children”—resonated deeply, given his multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2012, which has forced relapses and career pauses.

Kelly Osbourne, Jack’s sister, posted a sibling selfie: “Uncle duties incoming—love you, bro.” The news comes amid family healing: Sharon, reeling from Ozzy’s loss, called it “the smile we needed,” per Daily Mail. Jack, hosting Portals to Hell and The Osbournes Want to Believe until Ozzy’s passing, credited Aree as his “North Star,” their 2023 renewal a vow of resilience.

This baby boy isn’t just an arrival—he’s renewal. For Jack, it’s a fight won against MS and mourning; for the Osbournes, a bridge from pain to promise. As Jack eyes the jungle crown “for my growing tribe,” one truth shines: family endures. Congratulations, Jack and Aree—may your son inherit Ozzy’s roar and your unbreakable bond.
