Jack Osbourne becomes father of four as fiancée gives birth to daughter Maple

Former reality TV star Jack Osbourne has announced the arrival of his first child with fiancée Aree Gearhart.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Jack shared a photo of his newborn daughter and shared her birth weight with his 617k followers.

The 36-year-old star captioned the post: "I’m very happy to announce Maple Artemis Osbourne! Born 7-09-2022. 7.13lbs Aree and Maple are doing great and are happy and healthy," followed by a red heart emoji.

In the adorable snap, baby Maple is laying on a bed wearing a knitted bear onesie and already looks alert and ready for the camera.

Jack's famous mother, Sharon Osbourne, also shared the photo on her own Instagram account and wrote alongside it: "Maple Artemis Osbourne. Born 7-09-2022. 7.13lbs Ozzy and I are over the [moon emoji] @seecreature & Maple are happy and healthy! @jackosbourne fasten your seatbelt."

Jack already shares three children with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, whom he separated from in May 2018.

Jack and Lisa have three daughters; Pearl, ten, seven-year-old Andy Rose and four-year-old Minnie. The former couple sadly lost a baby boy named Theo when Lisa suffered a miscarriage during her second trimester in 2013.

Their divorce was finalised in March 2019, and Jack became engaged to fashion designer Aree in December 2021.

Aree has been very present on social media throughout her pregnancy and also announced Maple's arrival with the same cute photo.

Her caption read: "my soulmate, Maple Artemis Osbourne, came to us earth side on July 9, 2022 at 8:07pm. new level of love unlocked."

Earlier this year, Jack opened up about his diagnosis with MS 10 years ago and admitted that he doesn't think there is enough understanding of the illness across the world.

During an interview on TalkTV, Jack explained that he actually lost his job shortly after his diagnosis.

He said: "I did lose a job. At one point, shortly after my initial diagnosis, they were worried that I wouldn't have been able bodied enough.

"That comes down to a lot of people not really understanding what MS is. And, as I like to say it's as unique to the individual that has it, as their own fingerprint.

"I might meet someone who's the same age as me who got diagnosed the same day as me and our symptoms could be drastically different," he added.
