Just hours after leaving the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Jack Osbourne has revealed a deeply personal piece of news — one filled with hope, healing, and a final moment of connection with his late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
The 40-year-old reality star has confirmed that his wife, Aree Gearhart, is expecting their second child together. And in a touching detail that has moved fans across the UK, Jack shared that Ozzy learned he would be a grandfather again before passing away in July.
🌟 “It’s been healing… in a strange full-circle way.”
Speaking after his elimination from the ITV show, Jack opened up about how the pregnancy has carried him through one of the most painful chapters of his life.
“It’s been a healthy distraction… a bit of hope in the middle of grief,”
Jack said, describing how the news helped him navigate the months following Ozzy’s sudden death.
The former Black Sabbath frontman, who died at age 79, was famously close to his children and grandchildren. According to Jack, being able to tell his father about the new baby before he passed was a gift he will “always hold onto.”
Jack Osbourne has revealed his wife Aree is pregnant with their second child – and they told his late father Ozzy he would be a grandad again before his death
Viewers watched Jack reunite with Aree and their young daughter Maple in heartwarming scenes before the vote off on Friday
Jack said: ‘It’s awesome. It’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way’
❤️ A Family Moment Viewers Never Saw
Fans watched Jack reunite with Aree and their daughter Maple in emotional scenes before his exit from the jungle — but no one knew they were quietly preparing to expand their family.
Sources close to the Osbournes say Sharon Osbourne, still heartbroken after Ozzy’s passing, is “in desperate need of a smile” — and the baby news has brought exactly that.
“She adores her grandchildren,”
the source said.
“A new baby would mean the world to her right now.”
👶 A Growing Family
Jack and Aree, who married quietly in 2023 after meeting on a dating app four years earlier, welcomed their first daughter Maple in 2022.
With this new arrival, Jack will be a father of five, including his three daughters from his previous marriage: Pearl, Andy, and Minnie.
He calls the pregnancy “planned… but arriving a little earlier than expected,” joking that it has been “much harder on Aree than on me.”
🌿 Healing in the Jungle
Throughout the series, Jack spoke candidly about his father’s death — often growing emotional as he described the “cosmic energy” Ozzy carried with him.
“He’d be so supportive of this,”
Jack said of both the show and the baby news.
“I’m still figuring it all out. It’s only been a few months.”
In one heartfelt moment, he told campmate Eddie Kadi:
“I miss his force… like he swallowed the galaxy.”
🎶 A Final Goodbye, A New Beginning
Ozzy’s last months included a historic final performance with Black Sabbath — a farewell that stunned fans and closed the curtain on six decades of music history.
Now, as the Osbourne family continues to grieve, Jack and Aree’s baby represents something deeply symbolic for them all:
A new life beginning just as another ended.
And Jack believes his father knew that too.
