Jack Osbourne Honors Dad Ozzy with Newborn Baby Girl's Name

Jack Osbourne has celebrated the birth of his fifth child, a daughter named Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, honoring his late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. The announcement came through an Instagram post from Jack and his wife Aree Gearhart.

A New Generation

The choice of naming their daughter Ozzy Matilda comes shortly after Ozzy Osbourne's passing at age 76 in July 2025. The elder Osbourne died surrounded by family shortly after performing his last concert in Birmingham with Black Sabbath, seated due to Parkinson’s disease.

Family Dynamics

Jack and Aree were able to share news of the pregnancy with Ozzy before his death, describing it as healing amidst their grief. This makes the baby’s name a public tribute to Jack’s father.

The Expanding Family

Jack, married to Aree since September 2023, has two daughters with her. Additionally, he has three daughters from a previous marriage. His family has been a prominent part of his public persona.

Jack first gained fame on MTV's reality show The Osbournes and later built a career in television alongside his father, shifting from chaotic family dynamics to a more collaborative relationship.

Throughout his life, Jack has dealt with multiple sclerosis and its challenges, highlighting resilience and care within the Osbourne family amid public scrutiny.

The naming of their granddaughter as Ozzy is seen as a nod to Ozzy's legacy and his final public words during the Birmingham concert. It symbolizes continuity of the family name intertwined deeply with rock history and personal memory.

A social media announcement showed a black bat plushie beside the newborn, referencing one of Ozzy's most infamous career moments while celebrating their unique legacy with warmth rather than shock.
