The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram announcement, and People reported that the post showed the baby resting beside a bat plushie, a small visual nod to Ozzy’s mythology as much as his name. Good Morning America also noted that Ozzy Matilda is Jack’s fifth daughter and his second child with Aree.
Why Jack Osbourne names daughter Ozzy feels bigger than a celebrity baby update
The tribute carries extra weight because Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, only months before the birth announcement. Naming the baby Ozzy does not read as subtle, and that is likely why it lands so clearly: it is immediate, intimate and impossible to mistake.
There is also a family-history layer that makes the moment feel more complete. Jack and Aree welcomed daughter Maple Artemis in July 2022, quietly married in September 2023 and revealed in December 2025 that another baby was on the way. When that pregnancy news became public, Jack described it as “partly a healthy distraction, partly healing,” a short quote that now reads like an early clue to how deeply this next child would be tied to the family’s grief and recovery.
The name keeps Ozzy close without overexplaining the tribute
That earlier pregnancy update also said Ozzy knew another grandchild was coming before he died. That detail matters because it turns the baby’s name into more than a memorial gesture. It links the family’s loss to something Ozzy himself had already been able to celebrate, even if only briefly.
The name works because it does not hide the tribute behind symbolism or soften it with a middle-name reference. Jack Osbourne used his father’s name directly, and that bluntness is what gives the announcement its emotional power.
