In a heartwarming personal revelation, Jack Osbourne has announced that he and his wife, Aree, are expecting their second child together. The news comes just a day after the 40-year-old television personality was eliminated from the ITV reality series I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
A Joyful Announcement After Jungle Exit
Jack Osbourne, who is already a father to four children, shared the exciting family update in an interview with The Sun. The announcement followed his emotional exit from the jungle on Friday night, where viewers saw him reunite with Aree and their young daughter, Maple.
The couple's new baby is due in the coming months, marking a significant and hopeful chapter for the family. Jack described the pregnancy as "awesome" and explained it has served as a positive focus during a difficult period.
A Bittersweet Connection to Ozzy's Legacy
In a poignant detail, Jack disclosed that he and Aree had shared the happy news with his legendary father, Ozzy Osbourne, before the rock icon's death in July. This means the Black Sabbath frontman knew he was to become a grandfather again prior to his passing.
"It's been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of 'full cycle' category, in a weird way," Jack reflected. He added that the impending arrival has "taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness."
Planned Pregnancy Brings Excitement
Jack was candid about the pregnancy journey, noting the difference in experience between him and his wife. "It's been easy for me. It's been a lot harder for my wife!" he said with humour.
He confirmed the pregnancy was planned, though perhaps occurred a little sooner than initially anticipated. "We're super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected," Jack stated. "But it's something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously."
The news adds a profound layer of joy and continuity for the Osbourne family, intertwining the promise of new life with the memory of a beloved father and grandfather.
