Tracee Ellis Ross Rejected Oprah Winfrey Calling Her The "Poster Child For Singledom": "I Don't Want To Be That"
Tracee Ellis Ross is reflecting on Oprah's comments about her ongoing single status. The moment came in an episode of Tracee's new series, Solo Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross, which finds the Emmy-winning actor exploring the joys of the world as a single and childless woman. Reflecting on the freedom of solo travel, Tracee said, "So much of what traveling is about, is for me, not waiting for something in order to walk towards my life, in order to be in my life, in order to experience my life. I think that was why I took my first trip solo. And I know that in some ways — I mean, Oprah said it. She said that I'm the poster child for singledom. I don't want to be that." Instead, Tracee prefers to reframe the conversation as someone living on their own terms and not waiting for traditional things to add value and meaning to their life. "I want to be the poster child for being an inhabitant in your own skin," Tracee said. "For living in your own skin." Although some might see being single and childless at an older age as a negative, Tracee, 52, says it has afforded her a freedom and an experience that she might not have otherwise had. "Yes, I am a single Black woman who does not have children, but not having a relationship — long, long relationships — not having children has allowed me to explore things of my own humanity," she reflected. "It has deposited me here at 52 in an extraordinary experience that is filled with joy, loneliness, grief, exuberance, delight, like, literally all of it. And I feel available to it." While Tracee didn't specify when Oprah's comments occurred, they appear to be from a 2020 interview on her Your Live in Focus series, where Oprah told Tracee how many single women view her as "an example of what being an unmarried woman could and should look like." When asked if she ever imagined playing that role, Tracee laughed, "No. I, like many of us, was taught to grow up dreaming of my wedding, not of my life." She added, "I spent many years dreaming of my wedding, and also, waiting to be chosen. Well, here's the thing. I'm the chooser. And I can choose to get married if I want to, but in the meantime, I am choicefully single, happily, gloriously single." She repeated that message in a 2021 interview with Harper's Bazaar: "People are like, 'You're the poster child for being single.' And I was like, 'Great.' But what I would prefer is that I'm the poster child for living my life on my terms. And that there's a version of that for everyone. I don't live my life for other people. I just totally live it for me." You can (and should!) watch Solo Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross now on Roku. Trust me when I say — it's great. Let me know what you think of her reflections in the comments below, too.

How Many Children Does Ozzy Osbourne Have? Meet the Late Rocker's Kids With Sharon and Thelma Riley
Ozzy Osbourne was a legend in the heavy metal world, but he was also a father of six and a dedicated family man. The Black Sabbath singer died at 76 years old on July 22, 2025, his family confirmed in a statement. 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,' the statement read. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.' Ozzy was survived by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, as well as ex-wife Thelma Riley and their three kids, Elliot, Jessica and Louis. Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson's Relationship Timeline: From Friends to Lovers and More Below, Us Weekly shares everything to know about Ozzy's surviving children: Elliot Kingsley Ozzy met Riley in 1971 while she was working at a nightclub called Rum Runner in Birmingham, England. She had a 5-year-old son named Elliot at the time, whom Ozzy went on to adopt after he and Riley tied the knot later that year. The identity of Elliot's biological father has not been publicly revealed. While not much is known about Elliot, he is reportedly an actor and has appeared in stage performances of Romeo and Juliet and Fiddler on the Roof. Jessica Osbourne After Ozzy married Riley, the pair welcomed daughter Jessica in 1972. Today, Jessica leads a mostly private life in England. Though she never appeared on camera on her father and his second wife's MTV show The Osbournes, Jessica did call Ozzy in season 2 to share that he was a grandfather for the first time. She had given birth to a daughter named Isabella. Later, Jessica welcomed kids Harry and Kitty. Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne's Family Album Louis Osbourne In addition to Jessica, Ozzy and Riley shared son Louis, who was born in 1975. Like his sister, Louis has mostly remained out of the spotlight. However, he was present for Ozzy's final Black Sabbath concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5, 2025. "I was sobbing at times. It was everything we wanted it to be and more," he wrote on Facebook after the show, according to BBC. "I had been anxious for months about this as I've been worried about my dad's ability to perform with his Parkinson's disease." Louis continued, "I just wanted it to be a dignified send off for him. But as soon as he started singing we knew he was gonna nail it." Louis met wife Louise in 2002, and the pair tied the knot in Ireland later that year. They now live in Birmingham, where Louis works as a label owner, DJ and producer. The couple shares two kids, Elijah and Maia. Aimee Osbourne After Ozzy and Riley divorced in 1982, he tied the knot with Sharon. The couple then welcomed daughter Aimee in London in September 1983. Aimee lived with her parents in California until she was 16 years old, moving out after they began filming The Osbournes with her siblings Kelly and Jack. "I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and ... I always really valued my privacy within that family," she said on New York's Q104.3 radio station. "And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn't really line up with what I saw my future as." Despite not agreeing with her family's reality TV path, Aimee followed in her dad's footsteps with her music career. She became the lead singer of the band ARO in 2015, with the band's first single, "Raining Gold," inspired by her experience as the daughter of a famous rockstar. "I wanted the song to touch on how overwhelming and isolating it feels to be constantly misunderstood and the importance of choosing to break free from that and just believing in yourself," Aimee told Rolling Stone. "It's so valuable to always try and put yourself in someone else's shoes. I hope this song reminds people of that." Kelly Osbourne Ozzy and Sharon welcomed daughter Kelly in London in October 1984. Kelly Osbourne Details Her Conversations About Parenting With 'Beat Shazam' Cohost Nick Cannon While appearing on The Osbournes from 2002 to 2005, Kelly began pursuing a music career. She released her debut album, Shut Up!, in 2002, followed by Sleep in Nothing in 2005. However, she ultimately followed in Sharon's footsteps by becoming a TV host and judge on Project Runway, Project Catwalk and Fashion Police. Kelly also competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2009 and finished in third place. Kelly began dating Slipknot's Sid Wilson in 2022. The pair welcomed son Sidney later that year. They also got engaged backstage at Ozzy's final Black Sabbath concert. "F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter," Ozzy jokingly told Wilson, as seen in a video shared via Kelly's Instagram. However, Wilson told her, 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' Jack Osbourne Sharon and Ozzy welcomed son Jack in November 1985 in London. The family lived in the U.K. until Jack was 6 years old, at which point they relocated to California temporarily before going back to England. However, when Jack was 11 years old, they moved from England back to California. Kelly Osbourne Says Son's 'Terrible Twos' Have Left Her 'Exhausted': 'It's Insane' Jack has followed his own path, becoming a paranormal investigator. However, he still involved his parents in his career. His Travel Channel series The Osbournes Want to Believe features Jack showing Ozzy and Sharon footage of paranormal activity and asking for their input. Jack was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 26 years old in 2012. 'I have had some alternative therapy treatments over the years. I do not take traditional MS medication currently,' he said on 'The Osbournes Podcast' in 2024. Jack married actress Lisa Stelly in October 2012, and the pair welcomed daughters Pearl Clementine, Andy Rose and Minnie Theodora. He and Stelly divorced in March 2019, and he got engaged to Aree Gearhart in December 2021. Jack and Gearhart welcomed daughter Maple Artemis in March 2022. Solve the daily Crossword
