Jack Osbourne Names Daughter Ozzy in Tribute to Late Father

Television personality and producer Jack Osbourne has welcomed a new baby with his wife Aree Gearheart. The couple revealed that Jack Osbourne names daughter Ozzy as a tribute to his late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.

The couple shared the news on social media and introduced their newborn daughter to fans and family. They also honored the memory of the iconic musician, who died eight months ago at the age of 76. The baby’s name is Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. The name reflects the deep influence the legendary singer had on his family.

The announcement quickly attracted attention from fans worldwide. Many people have followed the Osbourne family for decades through music, television, and entertainment.

The baby arrived on March 5, according to details shared in the announcement. A black-and-white photo accompanied the reveal. The image showed the infant lying beside a small plaque that displayed her birth details. A toy bat appeared next to the plaque. The object referenced one of the most infamous moments in rock history involving Ozzy Osbourne during his early performing years.

Family Celebration and Emotional Tribute

Jack and Gearheart shared the reveal in a joint post. The post also included Sharon Osbourne, Jack’s mother and Ozzy’s longtime partner. The caption simply introduced the newborn as “Ozzy Matilda Osbourne.” The name itself carried the tribute.

For Jack, his daughter’s arrival comes during an emotional time for the family. Ozzy Osbourne’s death last July marked the end of a major era in rock music. The former Black Sabbath frontman shaped the sound and identity of heavy metal for decades.

Jack appears to honor his father’s memory through the name choice. The decision also helps preserve the family legacy.

The baby is the second child Jack shares with Aree Gearheart. The couple already have a three-year-old daughter named Maple. Jack is also father to three daughters—Pearl Clementine, Andy Rose, and Minnie Theodora—from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly.

Fans first learned that Gearheart was expecting shortly after Jack left the reality television show I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! last December. At the time, Jack described the pregnancy as a positive focus during a challenging period.

He explained that the news offered a “healthy distraction.” The pregnancy also gave the family something hopeful to focus on as they processed Ozzy’s passing.

Tributes to Ozzy Osbourne have continued in recent weeks. Earlier this month, organizers honored the late rock star during the Brit Awards. Singer Robbie Williams led a special performance dedicated to the musician. Williams has long maintained a close friendship with the Osbourne family.

The family has also started working on ways to protect and celebrate Ozzy’s musical legacy. Jack and Sharon recently revealed plans to revive the famous heavy metal festival Ozzfest.

During an episode of their podcast, they confirmed that the festival could return in 2027. The event once ranked among the biggest touring metal festivals in the world. It has remained inactive for nearly a decade.

Ozzfest last took place in 2018. The family now hopes to relaunch the event with major performances and global interest. Early discussions include hosting shows at Villa Park, the home stadium of Aston Villa. Organizers also hope to expand the festival across several locations in the United States.

Sharon Osbourne recently explained that staying active has helped the family cope with their loss. She said continuing projects connected to Ozzy’s legacy keeps his spirit present in their lives. Sharon also noted that she prefers to stay busy rather than sit still.

Fans around the world have celebrated the newborn’s arrival. The moment represents both a joyful beginning and a meaningful tribute. Jack’s decision to name his daughter Ozzy ensures that the legendary name will continue within the family for generations.
