Jack Osbourne and his wife Aree Gearhart have welcomed a new baby girl into their family — and her name carries a powerful tribute to Jack’s legendary father, Ozzy Osbourne.
The couple announced the arrival of their daughter, Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, who was born on March 5, 2026. The baby’s name honors Jack’s father, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, who passed away in July 2025 at the age of 76.
Jack revealed the news through social media, sharing a short video of the newborn resting peacefully in a hospital bassinet. A small card beside the baby displayed her birth details, while a plush bat toy appeared as a subtle nod to Ozzy Osbourne’s infamous bat-biting moment from his stage career.
A Tribute to the Prince of Darkness
The baby’s name carries emotional significance for the Osbourne family. Naming her Ozzy serves as a heartfelt tribute to the late rock legend, whose influence on heavy metal and rock music spans more than five decades.
Interestingly, the famous name “Ozzy” was originally just a nickname. The musician, whose real name was John Michael Osbourne, picked up the nickname during his childhood when classmates shortened his surname. Over time, the nickname became one of the most recognizable names in rock history.
A Healing Moment for the Family
For Jack, the birth of his daughter has brought both joy and emotional relief during a difficult period.
In an interview months earlier, he explained that the pregnancy had helped the family cope with grief after Ozzy’s death.
Jack described the experience as both “healing” and a “healthy distraction,” saying it helped shift the family’s focus from mourning to hope as they prepared to welcome the new baby.
He also confirmed that Ozzy himself knew about the pregnancy before he passed away, making the moment even more meaningful for the family.
Jack Osbourne’s Growing Family
The newborn marks Jack Osbourne’s fifth child.
He and Gearhart already share a daughter named Maple, who was born in 2022. Jack also has three daughters — Pearl, Andy, and Minnie — from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly.
With the arrival of Ozzy Matilda, the Osbourne family continues to grow while honoring the legacy of the late “Prince of Darkness.”
A New Generation of the Osbourne Legacy
The Osbourne name has been deeply connected to rock history for decades thanks to Ozzy’s groundbreaking work with Black Sabbath and his massively successful solo career.
Now, with the birth of Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, that legacy continues through a new generation of the family — bringing a sense of renewal after a year marked by loss.
For Jack and the rest of the Osbourne family, the newborn represents not only a loving tribute to Ozzy but also a reminder that life continues, even after saying goodbye to a legend.
