In an effort to grow their family, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were wed for more than 40 years. Unfortunately, this was unsuccessful, and Sharon later described her agony.
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died this week at the age of 76, leaving behind his beloved widow Sharon.
The couple were married for 43 years and endured many ups and downs along the way. Ozzy had been married once before when he met Sharon, 72, and had three children with his first wife Thelma Riley before he met his “soul mate”.
“Sharon is like my soulmate — sometimes I love her, sometimes I don’t love her, sometimes I’m angry with her, sometimes I’m crazy about her, sometimes I’m very jealous of her, sometimes I wanna f**king kill her,” the late star said last year.
Ozzy once tried to strangle his wife and had at least one long-term affair, despite the couple’s undoubtedly smitten relationship being featured in smash-hit early 2000s MTV reality show The Osbournes.

Sharon, 72, remained loyal and is said to be devastated and “fragile” following her husband’s passing, with paramedics trying to resuscitate the star for hours before he was announced dead at the couple’s home. The rocker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and had numerous other health issues, with a source telling The Mirror he was on “borrowed time”.
The Osbourne family revealed the rocker’s death on Tuesday morning in a statement released this week. Our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning, according to them, with more sadness than words can express. He was surrounded by love and his family. At this time, we ask that everyone respects our family’s privacy.
Sharon-Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, are the parents of Ozzy and Aimee. Sharon discussed how challenging it is to work as her husband’s manager with raising their young family in an interview with Metal Hammer. She said, “I managed my husband and we had three kids.” I had three pregnancies, and I had three. We created a small family out of wood.
After Jack’s birth, the couple struggled to conceive because Sharon’s fallopian tubes were harmed by a stomach infection. She underwent “mental torture,” or IVF.
“Sadly it didn’t work,” she said in her autobiography Extreme. “I just couldn’t take that ride. The wait for results, for each phone call, was mental torture. It did me in and I couldn’t go through it again.”
Ozzy’s band Black Sabbath, which he formed with 56 years ago, played his final performance on July 6 in Birmingham. He closed the show by saying, “It’s the last song ever,” to 42, 000 fans. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to lead such a wonderful lifestyle.
The star was beloved by his fans and most of all by Sharon, of whom he said: “At the end of the day, I love her more than anything in the world. Put it this way: I couldn’t live without her. I don’t wanna live without her.”
