Contra Costa Times

Just two weeks after becoming a father with fiancee Lisa Stelley in April, Jack Osbourne discovered he has multiple sclerosis.

In an interview with People magazine, released Sunday, 26-year-old Osbourne and his mother Sharon talked about the family's latest ordeal.

"I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, 'Why now?' " Jack Osbourne said. "I've got a family and that's what's supposed to be the most important thing."

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system -- the brain and spinal cord -- and can affect muscle control and strength, vision, balance, feeling, and thinking. MS differs in each case, with some people going through life with only minor problems and others becoming seriously disabled. Most people fall somewhere in between.

Osbourne -- whose new daughter is named Pearl Clementine -- gained fame as a teen on the MTV reality show "The Osbournes."
