During Friday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity, Jack Osbourne was voted out of the jungle in a brutal double elimination alongside Emmerdale star Lisa Riley. Despite the disappointment from fans, the TV personality, who was also grieving the recent loss of his legendary father, Ozzy Osbourne, revealed he was ready to be reunited with his family. Just moments before his departure, viewers got a glimpse of how much his loved ones meant as his wife Aree and young daughter Maple made a surprise visit to the camp.

However, it has now been revealed that the reunion had a much deeper meaning for the 40-year-old as he and Aree are expecting their second child together. Jack confirmed the sweet news alongside his wife as they posed for photos with her growing bump in full view. The former reality star gushed: “It’s awesome, I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing, probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way.”

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, he added: “It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness. It’s been easy for me, I think it’s been a lot harder for my wife.”

The soon-to-be dad of five revealed that the whole family is excited for the new arrival and confirmed that they had “sort of planned it” the new baby, but the news had come sooner than the pair expected.

“But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue, and somehow it happened, miraculously,” Jack and Aree welcomed daughter Maple in 2022.

In his blended family, the star also shares three children with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, whom he separated from in May 2018.

During their relationship, they had Pearl, 13, Andy Rose, 10, and Minnie, nine. The former couple sadly lost a baby boy named Theo when Lisa suffered a miscarriage during her second trimester in 2013.

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

The 40-year-old previously opened up about navigating fatherhood in an interview, in which he spoke on co-parenting with his ex-wife and said that he and Lisa were “doing really well” with it. “It’s all you can really ask for at this stage. It’s great.”

As for his parenting style, Jack added: “I’m a little more structured with my kids than my parents were with me. I won’t take them out of school just to go travel. We do a little bit, but I think structure is healthy.”

He also told People that his daughters are “the most girly girls imaginable,” and that he’s constantly surrounded by all things unicorn and rainbow.
