Jack Osbourne Names Newborn Baby Girl After Dad Ozzy – The Hook news

Jack Osbourne has announced the birth of his fifth child, a daughter named Ozzy Matilda Osbourne, in a decision that ties one of the most recognisable names in rock music to a new generation of the Osbourne family just months after the death of his father, Ozzy Osbourne. The baby was introduced in a joint Instagram post by Jack Osbourne and his wife, Aree Gearhart, with the caption “Introducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne,” and accompanying footage showed the newborn asleep beside a card listing her birth date as 5 March 2026. People, citing the couple’s post, reported that the baby weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces. Other reports based on the same social media announcement and imagery described the post as a quiet but unmistakable tribute to the late Black Sabbath frontman, whose name has now been passed to his granddaughter.

The choice of name carries emotional weight because it comes less than a year after Ozzy Osbourne died aged 76. Reuters reported that Ozzy died on 22 July 2025, after decades as one of the defining figures in heavy metal, while his family said at the time that he had passed away surrounded by loved ones. His death came only 17 days after his final concert appearance in Birmingham, where he reunited with Black Sabbath’s original line-up for a farewell performance that was billed as his last live show. That appearance, at Villa Park, was treated by fans as both a celebration and a goodbye, with Reuters reporting that the singer performed seated on a black throne because Parkinson’s disease had left him unable to walk.
