BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND: In a surprise that left fans cheering and the Osbourne family emotional, Kelly Osbourne and Slipknot’s Sid Wilson are officially engaged! The unforgettable moment unfolded during Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath performance at Villa Park — and yes, her father’s reaction was exactly what you’d expect from the Prince of Darkness.
As the crowd roared, Sid, 48, turned to Kelly, 40, in front of family, friends, and thousands of fans. “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,” he began. In true Ozzy fashion, the rock icon jumped in with a cheeky, “F— off, you’re not marrying my daughter!” The crowd burst into laughter as Sid carried on unfazed.
“Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you,” Sid continued. “So, in front of your family and all of our friends — Kelly, will you marry me?” Kelly, visibly shocked and emotional, nodded with a wide smile before wrapping her future husband in a long, heartfelt hug. The couple was surrounded by cheering loved ones, including Kelly’s mother Sharon Osbourne and brother Jack Osbourne, making the moment all the more special.
A Love Story Decades in the Making
Though their romance is just a few years old, Kelly and Sid’s relationship spans over two decades. They first met in 1999 when Wilson’s band, Slipknot, joined the lineup at Ozzfest, the iconic music festival founded by Kelly’s parents. What started as a friendship eventually blossomed into romance, and the two officially began dating in January 2022.
“They were very happy together,” a source confirmed at the time.
Later that same year, Kelly took to Instagram to celebrate their first Valentine’s Day as a couple, writing, “After 23 years of friendship I can’t believe where we have ended up! You are my best friend, my soulmate, and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson.”
Sid responded with equal affection, reposting their photo with a heartfelt caption: “There are not enough colours to display the palette of Love I have for you in my Heart 💜 Happy Valentines Day my Love XoXo.”
Their relationship quickly became one of the most adored stories in the rock world — an unexpected, yet beautiful romance that bridged the raw edge of Slipknot and the glitz of Kelly’s showbiz life.
A Growing Family and New Chapter Ahead
Just months after going public with their relationship, Kelly and Sid revealed another major milestone — they were expecting a baby. In May 2022, Kelly posted a photo of herself holding an ultrasound image, announcing, “I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma… I am ecstatic!”
The pair welcomed their son Sidney at the end of 2022. However, Kelly hoped to keep the news private. That plan was accidentally foiled when grandma Sharon spilled the baby news during an appearance on The Talk in January 2023.
“[His name is] Sidney. [They’re] doing so great,” Sharon said. “She won’t let a picture go out of him.”
Kelly later addressed the slip on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I am not ready to share him with the world.”
Since then, Kelly has occasionally shared small glimpses of mom life — celebrating Sidney’s first tooth and first Thanksgiving — but continues to guard her son’s privacy carefully.
Fully Embracing Motherhood and Looking Ahead
During a 2023 episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Kelly spoke candidly about her journey into motherhood and her bond with Sid. “He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. The best. He’s lovely,” she said of baby Sidney. “I just love being a mom. It is everything to me.”
Wilson, known for his intensity onstage, has shown a softer side offstage as a father and partner. Friends close to the couple say he’s “deeply devoted” to both Kelly and Sidney, and often credits Kelly for bringing balance into his life.
Now, with an engagement that fans are calling “pure rock and roll romance”, Kelly and Sid prepare to embark on their next chapter as husband and wife. With Ozzy’s blessing (well, sort of), the Osbourne-Wilson union already feels iconic.
No wedding date has been announced yet, but one thing’s for sure — the nuptials will be anything but ordinary. Expect dark glam, wild music, a family full of legends, and a whole lot of love.
