Jack Osbourne and Aree Gearhart Expect Second Child Amid Grief

Jack Osbourne, 40, has announced that he and his wife Aree Gearhart, 34, are expecting their second child together, marking Jack's fifth overall. The couple shared this news shortly after Jack's eviction from the reality television show *I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!* on Friday. Aree is currently 28 weeks pregnant, and the couple expressed their excitement about the impending arrival, which they described as a "miraculous" event that was somewhat planned but came sooner than expected.

The announcement comes just months after the death of Jack's father, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2023, at the age of 76. Jack revealed that he had the opportunity to share the pregnancy news with Ozzy before his death, stating, "It's awesome. I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing." He emphasized that the news has shifted some of the family's energy from grieving to a more hopeful outlook.

Jack Osbourne is already a father to three daughters—Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, 7—whom he shares with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly. He and Aree welcomed their first daughter, Maple Artemis Osbourne, in July 2022. The couple, who began dating in 2019 and secretly married in September 2023, have integrated their families, with Aree actively participating in the lives of Jack's daughters from his previous marriage.

In a heartfelt message, Jack reflected on the dual nature of the pregnancy news, saying, "It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness." He acknowledged that while the news has been uplifting for him, it has been more challenging for Aree. Jack's mother, Sharon Osbourne, has also expressed her joy at the news, as it brings a much-needed smile following the family's recent loss.
