Jack Osbourne Reveals Newborn Daughter's Name as Tribute to Late Father Ozzy
Jack Osbourne has announced the arrival of a new baby girl with his wife Aree Gearhart, sharing the joyful news on Instagram alongside a touching tribute to his late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. The 40-year-old former MTV reality star posted a sweet photo of the newborn resting beside a bat plushie and a badge reading "Hello World," captioning it: "She’s arrived and she’s perfect."
Newborn Named Ozzy Matilda Osbourne
In a heartfelt gesture, the couple have named their daughter Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, honouring the Black Sabbath icon who passed away in July at the age of 76. According to a duck-themed sticker visible in the picture, the baby was born on March 5 just before 9am. This new addition joins the family's three-year-old daughter Maple, while Jack also has three daughters from a previous marriage.
Ozzy Osbourne had been told he was going to become a grandfather again before his death, making this birth a poignant moment for the Osbourne family. Jack has previously spoken about how the pregnancy brought hope during a difficult period of mourning, describing it as "a healthy distraction" and "healing" in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday.
Fans Celebrate the Meaningful Name
Fans quickly flooded the comments with messages of congratulations and praise for the baby's name. One fan wrote: "Oh my goodness congratulations I love her name I’m sure ozzy is smiling." Another added: "The most perfect name she could have ever received!! Congratulations to you all… I am sure her birth is what everyone’s heart needed!!" A third commented: "Yay, we have another Ozzy Osbourne! The world is right again."
Jack elaborated on the family's excitement in his December interview, saying: "We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously." He noted that the pregnancy had shifted energy "out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness," though he acknowledged it had been harder for his wife.
Ozzy Osbourne's Recent Honors
The arrival of Jack’s daughter comes just weeks after Ozzy Osbourne was honoured at the 2026 BRIT Awards with a Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising his five-decade influence on British music. Ozzy’s wife Sharon and daughter Kelly accepted the award on his behalf during an emotional ceremony, where Sharon described him as "authentic," "gifted," and "totally unpredictable."
The night ended with a surprise musical tribute led by Robbie Williams, who performed Black Sabbath’s classic 'No More Tears,' celebrating the enduring legacy Ozzy leaves behind for both fans and his family. This tribute underscores the profound impact of Ozzy's life and career, now further commemorated through his granddaughter's name.
