Ozzy had a four-year affair with Pugh, who worked as his hairstylist at the time, leading to his brief 2016 split from Sharon. After the couple reconciled later that same year, Ozzy told Good Morning America that he and Sharon were 'back on track' after a 'bump in the road.' However, when Pugh opened up about the affair for the first time a month later, the situation seemed a lot worse than how Ozzy had characterized it.
'When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it,' she told People in August 2016. 'He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshipped woman in the world.'
Pugh claimed that Ozzy was 'unhappy' in his marriage with Sharon and 'consistently and willingly and generously' gave her 'his love.' She added, 'We just had it. It's that indescribable thing in life, and you can't deny it. And he didn't.'
Pugh added that she was no longer in touch with Ozzy, which was a 'struggle every day' for her. 'I wake from my dreams, which some nights he's in, and for a minute when I wake I'm peaceful,' she said. 'Then the absence sets in. It's horrible.'
Reps for Ozzy shut down Pugh's claims in a statement to People. 'He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context,' the statement read. 'He would like to apologize to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with. Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy.'
Ozzy and Sharon, who married in 1982, remained together until Ozzy's death. She remained by his side through recent health issues, including Parkinson's Disease and spinal surgeries. In a 2024 interview with Blabbermouth, Ozzy said, '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 couple shares three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. Ozzy also had three older children, Elliot, Jessica and Louis, from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.Best of SheKnows

Joanna Cassidy Celebrates 80th Birthday in Sexy Beach Shoot Weeks After Revealing Romance with Alan Hamel (Exclusive)
The actress posed for photos exclusive to PEOPLE, celebrating her 80th birthday, feeling wonderful and carefreeNEED TO KNOW Joanna Cassidy, the actress known for roles in Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and Blade Runner, celebrates her 80th birthday on Aug. 2 The actress tells PEOPLE about the milestone birthday, which comes on the heels of her exciting new relationship with Alan Hamel Cassidy and Hamel talk about getting older, staying in shape and what's next for the actress in the latest stage of her careerJoanna Cassidy is feeling fabulous at 80! The Blade Runner actress celebrates her 80th birthday on Aug. 2, sharing photos from a Malibu beach photoshoot marking the milestone. In a chat with PEOPLE about the special milestone, she admits she feels "no different than when I was 30, quite honestly." "Time is an illusion! I'm very aware of the fact that it's passing very quickly, but it's sort of nothing. I just say, 'Go day by day.' " Cassidy admits that she "can't say I'm excited about the number," but assures, "otherwise it's just another adventure, another decade." "I know I'll make it through beautifully and come out the other side of that one. Who knows what'll happen after that? Just a decade. I think that when I turned 50, that was sort of the hard one, but this is just icing on the cake. I feel like I'm 35 and I think I look pretty good." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Cassidy says that part of keeping herself young is nurturing her mind, body and spirit. "I think the most important thing that I do, which I've been learning how important it is, is to give back. I'm not on that trajectory anymore, where I have to accomplish things. The only things I have to accomplish are taking care of myself and working out and being a kind, loving person," she says. "My mind is still open to learning how to be a good person. And every time I find another instance where I can be that, I just feel better. I know that has to do with your DNA, your all-around cellular health." She continues, "I have animals. I love animals. I love to walk. I love to exercise. It's important to me to interact with people and hear them and listen and see what kind of exchange we can make. It was sort of miraculous to run into Alan. I hadn't even seen him in 30 years." Cassidy and boyfriend Alan Hamel made their unofficial debut as a couple earlier this summer. Hamel agrees that what brought them together was "a miracle." "We met over 50 years ago. Joanna was a guest on my show in Canada, and that was in the late '70s, I think. The next time I saw her, she was doing a major mini-series with Suzanne and Anthony Hopkins. And then I didn't see her again until a few months ago," he tells PEOPLE. "We connected, and I'm happy that we connected. She's a great woman. The thing is that she will help anybody to do anything. She's amazing that way," Hamel continues. Laughing, he adds, "I don't have that DNA. She does. It's amazing. It's admirable. Next to her, I feel like there's more I should be doing for the world." The two look forward to celebrating Joanna's birthday throughout August, getting outside and making memories together. "The aging process is great. People think that it's not, but it's great. You get a lot more out of each birthday, especially when you're celebrating after five years or 10 years," Hamel says. Cassidy is also looking for more out of her career. In addition to three projects already in the works, she's looking for the next big role, preferably an action-packed one. "Well, having been in the original Blade Runner, my sense of physicality [is important]. Before we did this interview, I just did a class that was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. I came back, and my legs were shaking. Everything's shaking on me. And so that's a really important part of my life, is to be in the gym and work out and push myself physically," she says. "I love to do that. And I want to be in another adventure movie. I want to be in a movie where I can show those attributes that I have. That's what I want to do." Hamel agrees, celebrating his partner as "perfect to be an action hero." "The reality is, she's taller than most women and in great physical condition," he says, adding to Cassidy, "You could probably do all your own stunts as well. And I think there's room for a female action hero out there." "Don't get me wrong, I played a lot of grannies too. I was a granny in Six Feet Under, and I enjoyed the heck out of that. I love to play women who are kind of badass emotionally and physically," she says. "I like it. I'd like to play Charlize Theron's mother. That's what I'd love to do."

Katy Perry And Justin Trudeau's Relationship: Reports
There's a new report about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau. The two made headlines earlier this week for being photographed grabbing dinner together at a Montreal restaurant. The Canadian ex-prime minister was then seen singing along in the crowd at Katy's Lifetimes tour. Earlier this year, reports emerged that Katy had split from fiancé Orlando Bloom after nine years together. Similarly, Justin was married to Sophie Grégoire Trudeau for 18 years until their separation in 2023. A source now told People that Katy and Justin "are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes." 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common," the source continued, listing "music" and being "idealists." Both Katy and Justin also have children; Katy has a daughter and Justin has three kids. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities,' the source added. Another source further said, '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages." I suppose only time will tell...
