Kelly Osbourne's nickname inspired her engagement ring
Sid Wilson took inspiration from Kelly Osbourne's nickname when designing her engagement ring. The Slipknot rocker proposed to his long-term partner - with whom he has two-year-old son Sidney - backstage at her dad Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath show in Birmingham, England, over the weekend, and it has now been revealed he played an "instrumental role" in creating the gold-and-diamond jewellery he presented the 40-year-old star with when he popped the question. An announcement from jewellers Mouawad, who created the ring, explained: "Sid played an instrumental role in shaping the vision for the ring, sharing intimate details and inspiration that brought the design to life. "At the heart of this creation is a touching nod to Kelly's nickname among her close friends and family— 'Honeybee'. "Drawing from this affectionate moniker, the ring's design features a unique beehive-inspired structure, seamlessly marrying sentiment with elegance. The result is a dazzling 18K yellow gold ring adorned with both white and yellow diamonds, as well as citrine accents, echoing the warmth and radiance of the design's muse. "The centerpiece is a stunning 2.5 carat round brilliant-cut diamond, symbolising the enduring and multifaceted nature of love." Explaining his nickname for Kelly, Sid told jeweller Pascal Mouawad in a behind-the-scenes video: 'Coincidentally, a friend of hers, Joan Rivers, used to call her this. I was a nickname she had for her. I didn't know this, it was an amazing coincidence. "It was because she would buzz around, like spread this good energy around, like a bee. 'I want the ring to reflect this somehow, using honeybees and pollen and diamonds, obviously.' And the 48-year-old rocker was thrilled with the end result. He said: 'It's blinding, it's perfect, she's going to love that. It's beautiful… It's going to be hard to keep it a secret…it's better than I had expected. It's literally a fairytale." Kelly shared footage from Sid's proposal on Instagram on Sunday (06.07.25), which featured her dad and mum Sharon Osbourne unwinding backstage at Villa Park with family and friends. Sharon could be heard saying: "You've got to be quiet!" Sid then took Kelly's hand and said: "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world!" But before he could ask the important question, Paranoid hitmaker Ozzy jumped in. He laughed: "F*** off, you are not marrying my daughter!" Sid then continued: "I want to spend the rest of my life with you - and ask in front of all of our family and friends, Kelly, will you marry me?" Kelly looked stunned before Sid stood up and put a ring on her finger while those around them cheered. Mouawad's collections are available online at and at the flagship London boutique, located at The Peninsula Hotel.

In a video of the moment shared on Instagram, Wilson can be seen grabbing his future bride's attention, telling her, "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world," before Ozzy, 76, interjects, "F--- off, you're not marrying my daughter." Laughing off the rocker's comment, Wilson continued, telling Kelly, '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?'

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kelly Osbourne (@kellyosbourne) Kelly and Wilson first met and struck up a friendship in 1999, when Wilson's band was touring with Ozzfest, the music festival founded by her parents. They officially began dating in January 2022. A source told PEOPLE at the time that they were "very happy together." Kelly later reflected on their long history in an Instagram post celebrating their first Valentine's Day as a couple. "After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up!" she wrote at the time, sharing a photo of the pair kissing. "You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson." Wilson also shared the love, reposting the photo on his own Instagram page with the message, "There is not enough colours to display the palette of Love I have for you in my Heart 💜 Happy Valentines Day my Love XoXo." In May of that same year, the duo shared the big news that they had a baby on the way. Kelly made her pregnancy reveal by posting a photo of herself holding an ultrasound image. "I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why… I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic! 🤰💜." Their son made his arrival at the end of 2022, and while Kelly had hoped to keep his birth a secret for a while, Sharon — a very excited grandmother — spilled the beans during a January 2023 appearance on The Talk. "[His name is] Sidney. [They're] doing so great. She won't let a picture go out of him," she said at the time. Later that same day, Kelly posted a message on her Instagram Stories, reiterating her desire for privacy. "I am not ready to share him with the world," she wrote. During a September 2023 episode of The Osbournes podcast, Kelly opened up about having "fully embraced mom life" and how much she and Wilson adore Sidney. "He's the best thing that ever happened to me. The best, he's lovely," she said of their son. "I just love being a mom, It is everything to me." Read the original article on People

Kelly Osbourne gets engaged to Sid Wilson during her dad Ozzy's final Black Sabbath show
Kelly Osbourne is officially engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Sid Wilson. The reality star, 40, shared a video on Instagram of the DJ popping the question backstage at her father Ozzy's final show on Saturday night In the clip, Wilson, 48, took his partner's hand and said: 'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.' Ozzy jokingly interjected with: 'F*** off, you're not marrying my daughter.' After the couple — who shared a two-year-old son, Sidney — laughed off Ozzy's remark, Wilson continued his proposal. 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you,' he added. 'So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' he said, while he pulled a ring box out of his fanny pack and got down on one knee. Kelly's jaw dropped in shock, as she covered her mouth with her hand and looked around the room. She then nodded her head to say yes to the proposal, before Wilson put the ring on her finger and hugged her. The couple's family and friends were cheering and clapping about the news, including Kelly's parents. She celebrated the special moment in the caption of her Instagram post, writing: 'Oh and this happened yesterday!' In February 2022, Kelly publicly revealed she and Wilson were dating, after being close friends for more than two decades. 'After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up! You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson,' she wrote at the time, alongside a picture of her and her partner kissing. In May of that year, she shared that they were expecting their first baby together. 'I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you as to why…' she wrote on Instagram. 'I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a mumma. To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic.' In January 2023, Sharon Osbourne confirmed that her grandchild was born, sharing the then-newborn's name, Sidney, during an appearance on The Talk. Later that day, however, Kelly seemingly criticized her mother for publicly sharing these details about her baby. 'I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one's place but mine to share any information on my baby,' she said. Kelly's engagement news came after Ozzy and Black Sabbath's other original members, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, took to the stage for one final time at Villa Park in their home city of Birmingham. Ozzy, who revealed in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, performed from a black winged throne. The concert, titled Back to the Beginning, also featured performances from bands including Guns N' Roses, Metallica, Slayer, and Tool. Sharon, who first met Ozzy when her father was managing Black Sabbath, later took over as his manager when he became a solo artist. However, following Black Sabbath's farewell show, Sharon said that she was now finally ready to step back from the industry. 'I've been doing this since I was 15, and I'm done,' the 72-year-old told Billboard. 'We just want to live our life and do what we want to do and not have to follow an itinerary any more.'
