Black Sabbath's impending farewell performance in focus
In a heartwarming turn of events, Kelly Osbourne and Slipknot rocker Sid Wilson have announced their engagement, following the birth of their son in late 2022. The proposal, which took place backstage at Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath show on July 5th, 2025, at Villa Park, was a momentous occasion for the couple.
The long-standing friendship between Kelly and Sid dates back to 1999, when they first met at Ozzfest, a music festival founded by Kelly’s parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. At that time, Kelly was a teenager, and Sid was an adult performing with Slipknot. Despite their age difference, they remained friends for over two decades without a romantic relationship.
Their friendship turned romantic in early 2022. Kelly publicly acknowledged their relationship starting around January 2022, posting a birthday message for Sid and later expressing her deep love for him on Instagram, celebrating 23 years of friendship now turned into love.
In May 2022, Kelly Osbourne announced she was pregnant with their first child. They welcomed their son, Sidney George Wilson, in November 2022. The couple initially kept the birth private, with the news only becoming public in early 2023 when Sharon Osbourne mentioned it on television; Kelly preferred to keep their son out of the public spotlight.
The proposal took place after they had announced their pregnancy. Sid Wilson pulled out a ring from his pocket during the proposal, and Kelly, overjoyed about her pregnancy, joyfully accepted. The proposal was witnessed by Ozzy, Sharon Osbourne, friends, and family, including Kelly's brother Jack Osbourne.
Kelly Osbourne shared the news of her engagement on her Instagram the following day, captioning the proposal video with the words, "Oh, and this happened yesterday!" Since then, she has referred to Sid Wilson as her "soulmate."
Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly's father, was present during the proposal. Jokingly, he commented, "You're not marrying my daughter." Despite the jest, it seems the family is supportive of the couple's decision.
The relationship history between Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson is marked by a long friendship that evolved into romance, leading to their engagement, pregnancy, and the birth of their son. As they embark on this new chapter, fans and family alike wish them a lifetime of happiness and love.
Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson's friendship, nurtured since their meeting at Ozzfest in 1999, has now ventured into the realm of pop-culture as entertainment since they announced their engagement, following the birth of their son. This transition from friendship to romance, a significant part of the popular culture narrative, has been chronicled over the past couple of years, including Kelly's public declaration of love for Sid on Instagram.
