Jack Osbourne has confirmed his wife Aree is pregnant with their second child – and that they told his late father Ozzy he would be a grandfather again before his death.
Jack, 40, who is already a dad to four children, was eliminated from I’m A Celebrity on Friday night.
After being reunited with his wife Aree, the star has revealed the couple are expecting their second child together.
In heartwarming news, Jack said he told his late father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, he would be a grandad again before his death in July.
Jack said: ‘It’s awesome. It’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing — probably in that kind of “full cycle” category, in a weird way.
‘It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.’
Jack continued to The Sun: ‘It’s been easy for me. It’s been a lot harder for my wife! We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected.
He added they had wanted more children together and they fell pregnant ‘miraculously’.
Viewers watched Jack reunite with Aree and their young daughter Maple in sweet scenes on Friday night before he was voted off.
Jack said how Ozzy would have been ‘very supportive about my journey in the jungle’ and that his entire family is proud of his achievement.
Expectant mother Aree, 34, first met Jack on a dating app in 2019 before secretly marrying him in 2023.
As well as his daughter Maple with Aree, Jack has Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, seven, with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, who he split from in 2018, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.
Earlier this week, the Daily Mail’s exclusive pictures showed beaming Aree and her growing baby bump before the couple confirmed the news.
There had been much chatter among the families and friends of Jack’s I’m A Celebrity contestants, who have themselves noticed the baby bump.
A source who knows Sharon, 73, said that was ‘in need of a smile’ following Ozzy’s death from a heart attack in July aged 79.
Sharon is heartbroken at his death, which came much earlier than she expected.
The source said: ‘Sharon is devastated, she is so sad about Ozzy’s death so any news like this would bring a much needed smile to her face.
‘She adores her grandchildren and should another be coming along that would be wonderful for her.’
In the Jungle, Jack opened up to his campmates about his father’s death, telling them: ‘It was definitely a shock. We knew he was sick for a while but we didn’t know it would be that quick.’
He became tearful when speaking to his close friend and campmate, comedian Eddie Kadi, as he admitted he missed Ozzy: ‘Just his energy. He had this force, so hard to describe, like he swallowed the galaxy and didn’t know what to do with it.’
He added: ‘He’d be so supportive of this.’ Then he added: ‘I’m still navigating it all… it’s been three, nearly four months, so it’s still pretty fresh.’
