Sharon Osbourne has delivered a perfectly succinct reaction to the happy news that her son, Jack Osbourne, and his wife Aree are expecting another child. The revelation comes just days after Jack left the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, where he was a fan favourite this series.
A Sweet Social Media Announcement
Taking to Instagram, the matriarch of the famous rock family shared her joy with a simple yet powerful five-word message. Alongside photos of Jack and Aree, she wrote: "Overjoyed for Jack & Aree Another Osbourne on the way!" She accompanied the post with praying hands and angel emojis, prompting a flood of congratulatory comments from fans celebrating the family's blessing.
Jack, 40, confirmed the pregnancy himself, revealing that his wife is 28 weeks pregnant. This will be the couple's second child together, following the birth of their daughter Maple in 2022. In total, this will be Jack's fifth child, as he shares three children with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly.
A Beacon of Hope After Loss
The television personality opened up about the profound timing of the pregnancy, admitting it has served as a crucial source of healing for his family following the death of his father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, in July. Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Jack described the news as "awesome" and explained its emotional impact.
"I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing," he said. "It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness." He added that while the pregnancy has been "easy" for him, he joked it's been harder for his wife Aree.
Family Planning and Future Joy
Jack disclosed that the pregnancy was planned, though it happened sooner than the couple had anticipated. "But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously," he gushed. The family are choosing to keep the gender of their unborn child a secret, building anticipation for the new arrival.
The Osbourne family has faced significant heartache in the past, including the tragic loss of a baby boy, Theo, during Jack's previous marriage in 2013. This new chapter represents a circle of life moment, bringing immense joy after a period of profound grief. Fans and followers continue to send their best wishes to the growing Osbourne clan.
