Jack Osbourne shares bittersweet detail about wife Aree’s pregnancy
The pair announced they're welcoming their second child together
Jack Osbourne has opened up about the bittersweet detail about his wife Aree’s pregnancy.
Jack, 40, is the youngest child of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, 73, alongside siblings Kelly, 41, and Aimee, 42.
The Black Sabbath star passed away aged 76 in July, with his cause of death announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
In a new interview with The Sun, Jack has since revealed that Aree Gearhart, whom he tied the knot with back in 2023, is currently 28 weeks pregnant, meaning he would have been able to tell Ozzy that she was pregnant with their second child before his death.

Jack and Aree, 34, are already parents to daughter Maple, three. Jack also shares three daughters with his ex-wife, Lisa Stelly: Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, seven.
"I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing – probably in that kind of 'full cycle' category, in a weird way," Jack explained.
He added: "It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness."
The I'm A Celeb star also shared that he and his missus were 'super excited' about her pregnancy and revealed that it happened earlier than they expected.
"It’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue, and somehow it happened, miraculously," he told the outlet.
Jack has been very open when it comes to his grief and has bravely discussed how he was faring just four months after his father's death on the hit ITV programme.
On the first full day in camp, the reality TV star could be seen speaking to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, where he admitted of his dad's passing: "It was definitely a shock.
"I mean, we knew he was sick for a while, but it was definitely a shock. I mean, we didn’t know it would be that quick…"
Jack continued: "It was the ultimate mic drop; he did a massive big gig and was like, alright, I’m done."
Growing tearful, Jack then shared what Ozzy would make of his jungle signing, adding: "He’d be so supportive of this."
Later in the Bush Telegraph, the Adrenaline Junkie presenter told cameras that, while he appreciated the 'connection' with Lisa, the conversation did bring up a lot of heavy emotions.
"I’m still navigating it all; it’s been three, nearly four months, and so it’s still pretty fresh," he explained.
