Aimee Osbourne is the eldest child of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, but she’s always shunned the spotlight, unlike her famous sister Kelly and brother Jack
Unlike her famous parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, and siblings Kelly and Jack, Aimee has always maintained a low profile, shying away from the limelight. However, after unveiling a surprising new look recently, she seems to be gradually stepping into the public eye through her music career, echoing her father’s rock ‘n’ roll roots.
The Osbournes first hit our screens in 2002, introducing MTV audiences to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s kids, Kelly, 39, and Jack, 38. However, many fans were unaware that Celebrity Big Brother star Sharon and Black Sabbath legend Ozzy have a third offspring – Aimee, who is now 41.
While her younger siblings basked in the limelight following The Osbournes’ success, Aimee chose to avoid the public eye, leaving the family nest at 16 when they embarked on their reality TV journey.
“I’m not some weirdo depressed daughter that’s afraid of the world and locks herself in her room all day; I just didn’t choose to do the show,” Aimee has previously shared with US television.
“I want to be a singer, and I felt if I’d stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away. [Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I’m more reserved and my private life is very important.”
Choosing to avoid the spotlight, Aimee moved out of the family home at just 16 when filming began, a decision that Sharon has since expressed regret over. Now, at 41, it seems Aimee is ready to share snippets of her life with the public, often using her Instagram platform to promote her latest music.
Earlier this week, Aimee Osbourne was photographed leaving a hotel in Manchester alongside Wes Leavins from the band Bridgette Calls Me Baby, who are currently on a UK tour – sparking rumours of a new romance for the Osbourne nepo baby.
Last year, Aimee marked a significant career milestone with an emotional Instagram post, sharing her experience of recording at the iconic Abbey Road Studios for the first time. Encouraging her followers to ‘keep going’ during challenging times, she reflected on a year filled with ‘heartbreak and twists and turns’.
Recording under the moniker ARO, Aimee released her latest single, Siren, in collaboration with Fjora Music in November 2024. Her debut single, Raining Gold, was released back in 2015.
Aimee has previously openly admitted that she would have preferred to stay at home a bit longer, with mum Sharon confessing that it broke her heart when her eldest left.
“She felt too that she didn’t want to grow up on camera. She hated the idea – it was appalling to her,” Sharon revealed on The Talk in 2018. “And so she left at 16 and I regret every day that she did. It broke my heart when she moved.”
While Aimee’s musical aspirations remain strong, her relationship with sister Kelly has unfortunately faded over time. In a 2021 interview, Kelly confirmed that she and Aimee are estranged and no longer in contact.
“We don’t talk,” Kelly revealed to Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast. “We’re just really different. She doesn’t understand me and I don’t understand her.”
These remarks from Kelly come after Aimee confessed in 2015 that she and her younger sister weren’t exactly close. Speaking to The Independent, Aimee admitted: “I wouldn’t say there is an ease between us, but there is an acceptance. Do we socialise? No.”
