In a heartfelt tribute to his late father, Jack Osbourne and his wife, Aree Osbourne, have announced the birth of their second child together, a baby girl named Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a touching black-and-white video, revealing that their daughter was born on March 5, 2026, weighing seven pounds and 12 ounces.
A Direct Homage to a Legend
The name Ozzy Matilda serves as a very direct homage to Jack's father, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away from a heart attack in July 2025 at the age of 76. This announcement comes less than a year after his death, adding a poignant layer to the family's joy.
Family Dynamics and Previous Children
Ozzy Matilda is the second child for Jack and Aree Osbourne, following the birth of their first daughter, Maple Artemis, in July 2022. Additionally, Jack is a father to three daughters from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly: Pearl, aged 13, Andy, aged 10, and Minnie, aged 7. This expands the Osbourne family legacy with another generation.
In a December interview with The Sun, Jack Osbourne expressed how the pregnancy provided a sense of healing amid the grief of losing his father. He described it as a healthy distraction and part of a full cycle, noting that it shifted energy from mourning to hopefulness. The couple had shared their pregnancy news before Ozzy Osbourne's death, allowing them to celebrate this new life together.
Celebrity Connections and Public Reaction
The Instagram post, which featured a card with the baby's details, quickly garnered attention from fans and media alike. Jack Osbourne, known for his public appearances with his mother Sharon Osbourne, such as at the 68th Grammy Awards in February, continues to honor his family's storied history in the entertainment industry.
This birth not only marks a new chapter for the Osbourne family but also keeps the memory of Ozzy Osbourne alive through his granddaughter's name. As the family navigates this bittersweet moment, the arrival of Ozzy Matilda symbolizes continuity and love in the face of loss.
