Introducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne: A Nod to Rock Royalty
The caption "Introducing Ozzy Matilda Osbourne" accompanied a serene black-and-white video showing the baby sleeping peacefully. This choice of name serves as a touching dedication to Jack's late father, the iconic rock musician Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July 2025 at the age of 76. The note card shared by the couple confirmed that their baby girl was born on March 5, weighing 7 pounds and 4 ounces.
Jack Osbourne's Excitement for Fatherhood
In December 2025, shortly after his departure from 'I'm a Celebrity', Jack expressed his enthusiasm about embracing fatherhood once again. In an interview with The Sun, he revealed, "We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected. But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue, and somehow it happened, miraculously." This sentiment highlights the couple's joy and anticipation for their growing family.
A Family United by Taylor Swift Fandom
Despite the varying ages of his children, Jack noted a common thread that binds them all: a deep devotion to Taylor Swift. In an April 2024 interview with PEOPLE, he shared insights into this family passion. "My girls are all Swifties," Jack explained. "They went to see her on the Eras Tour. And my eldest daughter isn't as much of a Swiftie as my younger ones, and she was like, 'I don't really want to go.'"
Jack, while not the biggest fan himself, persuaded her by emphasizing the historical importance of the event. He recounted, "I'm not the biggest Taylor Swift fan in the world, but I will say this: what you're about to go to will be a thing of legend. You'll be able to tell your kids you went and saw her on arguably the biggest tour and artist the world has ever seen. So just for the historical component, you have to go." His convincing worked, as she ended up having an unforgettable experience, solidifying the family's status as full-blown Swifties.
Welcoming Ozzy Matilda into the Girl Group
Baby Ozzy Matilda joins her older sister Maple Artemis Osbourne, born on July 9, 2022. Jack is also a father to three daughters from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly: Pearl Clementine, 13, Andy Rose, 10, and Minnie Theodora, 7. This new addition enriches the family dynamic, blending heritage with modern pop culture influences.
The Osbourne family continues to capture public interest with their personal milestones and shared passions, from honoring legendary roots to celebrating contemporary music icons.
