Fresh from the bug-infested bowels of the Welsh jungle, where he survived 21 days of Bushtucker Trials and became the nation’s unlikely “Captain Jack,” reality TV scion Jack Osbourne dropped a bombshell so heart-melting it’s eclipsed even his emotional exit from I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Friday night: his wife Aree Gearhart is 28 weeks pregnant with their second child together – Jack’s fifth little Osbourne whirlwind. “It’s awesome. We’re super-excited,” the 40-year-old beamed to The Sun on Sunday, December 7, 2025, his voice catching as he cradled Aree’s noticeable bump in a candid family snap that’s already racked up 2 million likes on Instagram. But amid the joy, there’s a poignant twist: Jack tearfully revealed he got to share the news with his late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, just weeks before the Prince of Darkness’s heartbreaking death in July at 76, turning what could’ve been a family milestone into a bittersweet bridge across grief’s chasm. “It’s been a healthy distraction… parked in a bit more hopefulness,” Jack confessed, eyes misty under the California sun. As fans flood timelines with #BabyOsbourne5 and Sharon Osbourne reposts with teary emojis, this isn’t just baby news – it’s a resurrection for a family forged in fame’s fire.

The announcement landed like a confetti cannon at a rock concert: Aree, 34 and glowing in a jungle-green maxi dress that playfully nodded to Jack’s ITV stint, posted the family portrait on Instagram late Saturday, captioning it with a cheeky Britney Spears throwback: “Oops I did it again!” There they stood – Jack, all tousled hair and tattooed arms, wrapping his brood protectively around his wife’s bump – flanked by their three-year-old daughter Maple Artemis, a mini-mes with wild curls and a gap-toothed grin that screams Osbourne mischief. “New level of love unlocked, part two,” Aree gushed in the comments, her words echoing the soulmate ode she penned after Maple’s dramatic 2022 arrival amid Jack’s ongoing battle with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. The post? A deluge of double hearts: from jungle campmate Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards (“Captain Jack’s crew just got bigger! 🦅❤️”) to ex-Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Lisa Rinna (“Tiny human incoming – the Osbournes never do small!”). Even Kelly Osbourne, Jack’s fiercely protective sister, crashed the thread with a string of crown emojis and a whispered “Uncle Kel’s got this one.”

For Jack – the middle Osbourne child who’s weathered addiction demons, MS diagnosis at 26, and a custody co-parenting dance with ex-wife Lisa Stelly – this pregnancy is more phoenix than plot twist. “It was sort of planned… maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously,” he told the tabloid, his gravelly laugh a faint echo of Ozzy’s Birmingham brogue. Married since an intimate Ennismore Estate ceremony in May 2023 – after swiping right on a dating app in 2019 amid pandemic isolation – Jack and Aree’s love story is the stuff of redemption arcs: from tentative texts to a blended brood that now numbers five, with Pearl (13), Andy Rose (10), and Minnie Theodora (7) from his 2012-2019 union with Lisa rounding out the rainbow. “It’s been easy for me – a lot harder for my wife!” Jack admitted, tipping his hat to Aree’s “warrior” glow through morning sickness and MS-flavored family logistics. Gender? Still under wraps – “We’re keeping that surprise for the nursery,” Aree teased in a follow-up Story, her hand splayed protectively over the curve.

But the real gut-punch? The Ozzy overlay, a cosmic full-circle that’s got fans ugly-crying from Malibu to Manchester. Jack, voted off I’m A Celeb in sixth place after bonding over bat-biting tales and Black Sabbath anthems (he joked Ozzy would’ve aced the eating trials but bombed the zip-lines), spilled that he FaceTimed his dad with the news in early June. “We told him he’d be a grandad again… he was thrilled, in his way – that gravelly ‘brilliant, son’ chuckle,” Jack shared, voice fracturing as he recalled the rocker’s frail frame propped in his Buckinghamshire bed, Sharon at his side. Ozzy’s passing from complications of Parkinson’s and long COVID – announced July 21 after a decade-long fade from the stage – left the Osbournes adrift, with Jack channeling grief into jungle grit. “It’s partly healing… taken energy out of the grieving and parked it in hope,” he reflected, the pregnancy a “full cycle” balm for a clan that’s buried pets, battled relapses, and headlined Ozzfest highs. Sharon, 73 and ever the matriarch, amplified the joy on her Story: a repost of the bump pic with a simple white heart, her first public nod since Ozzy’s Birmingham Lord Mayor’s Award tribute on what would’ve been his 77th birthday last week.

The timing? Serendipitous sparkle. Jack’s I’m A Celeb jaunt – his first major UK telly gig since The Osbournes wrapped in 2005 – was a ratings rocket, his “Captain Jack” moniker endearing him to a new gen of viewers. Voted out Friday amid hugs from Shona McGarty and Aitch, he quipped to Ant and Dec: “Tired of camp life, but amazing – now back to real chaos with four kids and one on the way!” Reunited with Aree and the girls at a plush Aussie hotel, the family jetted stateside for a low-key reveal bash: think gender-neutral nursery Pinterest boards and Ozzy vinyls for the babe’s first lullabies. Lisa, ever the ally in co-parenting, chimed in with a throwback of the exes’ blended Easter egg hunt: “Excited for baby five – our village just grew!”

Fans? In euphoric meltdown. #OsbourneBaby5 trended UK-wide by dawn, with edits splicing Jack’s jungle confessionals against baby bump ultrasounds. “From bat heads to baby breaths – the Osbournes endure!” gushed one TikTok tribute, hitting 1.5 million views. Celeb chorus swelled: Fearne Cotton, Joel Dommett, and even Ozzy’s old Sabbath mate Geezer Butler. For Aree, a wellness guru whose Instagram sermons on “soulmate synchronicity” have 200k followers hooked, it’s validation: “This bump? Our miracle amid the mayhem,” she posted, tagging MS charities Jack champions.

As December 7, 2025, wraps in tinsel and tidings, Jack’s news is the holiday hug the world craves – a defiant bloom in grief’s garden, a testament to Osbourne resilience. From reality TV runt to reality dad extraordinaire, Jack’s not just expanding his empire; he’s echoing his father’s chaos-with-a-chaser-of-love ethos. Ozzy, biting heads in heaven, would approve: “Brilliant, son.” For Aree and the clan, it’s new levels unlocked – fivefold. Congrats, Captain Jack: may your ship sail smooth, your stars align, and your nursery rock harder than Sabbath. The Osbournes? They’re just getting started.
