Kelly Osbourne's rock 'n' roll romance was 23 years in the making: Mother-of-one first met Slipknot's Sid Wilson when she was 13 and he was 20 - before falling in love decades later

The last ever Black Sabbath show was an emotional event for fans of the Brummie rock band - but for frontman Ozzy Osbourne 's daughter Kelly, emotions ran high for a different reason. Her partner and the father of her son Sid Wilson, 48, a member of the rock band Slipknot, got down on one knee at Villa Par; and popped the question at the end of the gig, leaving Kelly, 40, open mouthed. But their happy ending was decades in the making for the rockstar and the rockstar's daughter, who first met when Kelly was 13 and Sid was 20. The pair crossed paths in the 1990s at Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival created by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, when Slipknot was touring with the event. But, as the mother-of-one has previously revealed, she and Sid 'only ever saw each other as kids' at the time due to the age difference. Speaking on The Osbournes Podcast last year, she said: 'We were just friends, because there was a seven-year age difference and back then, that was a huge, huge gap. I was 13 years old, and he was in his early 20s.' However, sparks began to fly between the pair a decade later when they bumped into each other in LA in 2013. 'It was 2013, maybe a bit before that,' she recalled. 'I ran into Sid when he had his record shop on Melrose and that's when he decided that he liked me. I didn't know this.' She revealed Sid invited her to a Slipknot concert shortly after this meeting, which she attended with no idea that he liked her romantically. However it led to the pair 'talking more and hanging out more'. Kelly continued: 'It wasn't, like, forced. Because we had been friends for so long and known each other for so long, there was a sense of comfortability that I've never had with anyone else.' The pair confirmed their relationship in early 2022, after knowing each other for more than two decades. 'After 23 years of friendship, I can't believe where we've ended up!' Kelly gushed on social media at the time. Just months later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Their son, Sidney, arrived in November 2022, making Ozzy a grandfather for the fifth time. The couple began dating in 2022 and welcomed their son Sidney in November 2023. Kelly went on to reveal she also hopes the couple will be able to expand their family in the future, she told Us Weekly: 'I definitely want more babies!' The couple are currently trying to map out their future plans and are trying to decide whether to move back to Kelly's native UK after her parents Ozzy and Sharon recently returned after many years spent living in the US. 'We're going to get a bigger house; we're just trying to figure out where. Do we want to be close to the studio? Or do we want to go back to England?' Kelly said. 'My son is going to go to school in England. The school system is a bit different in the U.K., and I like the idea of uniforms. I like the idea of no guns [in] schools.' After struggling with addiction in the past, Kelly credits her son, Sidney with 'saving her.' She also admitted that her life completely 'changed' since having her son, saying she didn't know 'how powerful the feeling of love was going to be.' Kelly has always been very protective over her son and she was left fuming after her mother Sharon shared her newborn son's secret name on talk show. The couple are currently trying to map out their future plans and are trying to decide whether to move back to Kelly's native UK after her parents Ozzy and Sharon recently returned after many years spent living in the US Sharon not only confirmed her daughter had given birth, but also revealed the name of her newborn grandson to the world. In response, Kelly posted a furious Instagram story in which she said: 'I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one's place but mine to share any information about my baby.' She had not officially confirmed Sidney's arrival herself when Sharon made the big reveal about her new grandson's during an appearance on Talk TV. The X Factor judge confessed that Kelly and Sid had decided on the name Sidney for their little boy. Co-host JJ Anisiobi asked Sharon if she helps to look after the newborn, to which Sharon replied: 'Yes'. She gushed: 'They're doing just so great. So great. She won't let a picture go out of him and I'm so proud of her.' Announcing her pregnancy on social media, Kelly wrote: '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. To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic!' The reality star revealed the news with two images on her Instagram page showing her relaxing poolside while looking at her sonogram pictures. And now Kelly will not only be a 'mumma', but a rock and roll wife, after Sid popped the question in front of her family and friends at Ozzy's final gig with Black Sabbath last weekend. In the clip of the proposal, Kelly's mother Sharon appeared to have guessed what was about to happen as she shouted at the crowded room: 'You've got to be quiet!' Sid was then seen standing in front of Ozzy and Sharon, preparing to get down on one knee before his future father-in-law cheekily interrupted: 'F**k off you're not marrying my daughter are you?' Sid laughed as he continued: 'Kelly you know I love you more than anything. 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?' A delighted Ozzy asked Sid for a look at the ring as Sharon applauded, before Kelly jumped into her new fiancé's arms. Kelly's celeb pals rushed to congratulate the star, with Rylan commenting on her Instagram post: 'OMG KEL!!! Congraaatttsssss.' Jonathan Cheban added: 'AMAZING. LOVE YOU MOCHIE!!! Congrats!!!!' Hours earlier, Kelly had shared a gushing post reflecting on her 'magical' evening at Ozzy's final show. Posting a gallery of snaps from the evening, she penned the caption: 'To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement! 'I can't even write this without tears streaming down my face! Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad. 'Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and goodbye in the most beautiful way!' Speaking in October Kelly said that Sid 'really wants to get married,' but that is wasn't important to her. Although she isn't keen on getting married, Kelly confirmed last year that she would exchange vows with Sid because it's important to him. 'I found my guy. We don't need the certificate. But I know Sid really wants to get married, so we will get married. It's not as important to me,' she told Us Weekly. 'I've worn so many beautiful dresses and had so many moments that have been just about me, so that whole idea of a big day isn't as important to me ... 'Never in a million f****** years did I think I'd end up with a rock star partner, but I did.' And there is an adorable special meaning behind Kelly's eye-popping diamond engagement ring. The MailOnline exclusively revealed how the Slipknot musician turned to luxury jeweller Mouawad to help him create the custom sparkler which also paid tribute to his partner's late friend Joan Rivers. In a clip from Sid's first meeting with Mouawad boss Pascal Mouawad, he explained that he wanted the bauble to nod to a nickname both he and the comedian, who died in 2014 aged 81, had for Kelly, 40. He said: 'So I have a nickname for Kelly, and it's "Honeybee" and coincidentally a friend of hers, Joan Rivers used to call her this'. 'It was a nickname [Joan] had for her. I didn't know this, it's like an amazing coincidence, it's like whoa, like meant to be'. He explained how Kelly, who co-hosted E! Fashion Police with the late Joan, had landed the moniker due to her always 'buzzing around' and 'spreading good energy' so wanted the ring to be inspired by bees and pollen. Drawing from this affectionate nickname, 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. If that wasn't enough the centre piece is a stunning 2.5 carat round brilliant-cut diamond, symbolising the enduring and multifaceted nature of love. Later in the clip Sid was left stunned when he saw the ring for the first time and his idea come to life. 'It's like blinding! it sparklers!' he exclaimed, 'She's just going to love it, it's beautiful' before choking back tears as he described the gorgeous ring as 'more than perfect'. Following Joan's death Kelly got a bumble bee tattoo in tribute to her late pal and the nickname she had given her. Taking to Instagram she wrote 'In honor of you @joanrivers..."If you looked at aerodynamics, at science, the bumble bee should not be able to fly. Physically, it was just not anatomically equipped to soar. 'Yet it did, defying gravity, defying logic. The bee was a creature that defied and beat the odds, a miracle." Thank you for being my Miracle @joanrivers.

Who Is Kelly Osbourne's Fiancé? All About Slipknot Member Sid Wilson

Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson started dating in 2022, after meeting over 20 years earlier They welcomed their son, Sidney, the same year Sid proposed to Kelly in July 2025 while backstage during her dad Ozzy Osbourne's final concert with his band Black SabbathKelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson are a match made in rock 'n' roll heaven. The daughter of the legendary heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne and the Slipknot DJ started dating in 2022 — 23 years after they first met. Months after they got together, the couple welcomed a son named Sidney in November 2022. During their red carpet debut at the 2024 Grammys, the reality TV star said that she loved her 'little family' and offered some insight into what life was like with her 'bubba,' Sid. 'I will say that he's f----- nuts,' Kelly told PEOPLE of the rocker. 'He just is. Even the way he makes eggs is probably a crazy way of making them.' On July 5, 2025, Sid surprised his long-time love by proposing backstage at her father's final performance with his band Black Sabbath. Kelly later shared a video of the moment on Instagram, capturing her fiancé telling her he loved her 'more than anything in the world.' So, who is Kelly Osbourne's fiancé? Here's everything to know about Sid Wilson and his relationship with the reality TV star. Though his parents are originally from the United Kingdom, Sid was born in Des Moines, Iowa — a place he described as 'all farmland' in a 2020 interview with Kerrang!. He told the outlet that local radio stations mostly played what is now considered classic rock, and credited his British upbringing for broadening his musical horizons. 'Since I was three months old, I've been travelling to Oxford to visit family with my mum and dad,' Sid said. 'I would come here and listen to the BBC, hear a variety of different genres, which was crazy to hear, then go back to the States." He also said that he grew up 'doing English things,' like drinking tea and eating crumpets. Sid has been a DJ for the Grammy-winning heavy metal band Slipknot since 1998. On stage, he's known for wearing full-face masks and performing physically risky stunts, including one in 2008 that broke both of his heels, per Kerrang!. The heavy metal DJ told PEOPLE in February 2024 that he loves spending time with his band, including rehearsing on his birthday when Kelly surprised him with a 'big, amazing cake' during the session. 'I wouldn't want it any other way,' Sid said. 'People were like 'Oh you're working on your birthday,' and I was like, you know what? Honestly, I wouldn't rather be anywhere else.' Kelly and Sid first met in 1999 when his band toured with Ozzfest, a music festival founded by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. When a source confirmed their relationship in 2022, they said it should come as no surprise considering how long the pair had known each other. "Kelly and Sid met when his band was touring with Ozzfest in 1999," the source said. "They have remained friends since. They are very happy together." On Valentine's Day in 2022, Kelly hard-launched her relationship with Sid on Instagram weeks after PEOPLE confirmed their romance. 'After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up!' the reality star captioned a series of photos with Sid. 'You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson. 💜.' They made their first red carpet appearance at the 2024 Grammys in Los Angeles, where Slipknot was nominated for Best Metal Performance. In May 2022, Kelly announced on Instagram that she and Wilson were expecting their first child together and that she was 'ecstatic.' Sidney was born in November 2022 and shares both of his parents' last names. The former TV personality told PEOPLE in May 2024 that she and Sid were raising their son on the road, and has since posted sweet videos on Instagram of Sidney watching his father perform on stage. "I grew up on the road," Kelly told PEOPLE. "For me, that was a beautiful experience, and it's one that I can also give to Sidney." She continued, "He'll get to travel the world, meet all sorts of people, get exposure to art and music and science and things he never would see if he wasn't traveling the world." On July 5, Sid popped the question while backstage at her rocker dad's final Black Sabbath show. In a video Kelly later shared on Instagram, the 'Prince of Darkness' can be heard interrupting the proposal by jokingly saying, 'F--- off, you're not marrying my daughter." 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you,' Sid continued after laughing off Ozzy's comment. 'So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?' The unique engagement ring was inspired by Sid's nickname for Kelly, "Honeybee." In a video shared by the ring's jeweler, Mouawad, the DJ revealed that the late comedian Joan Rivers — who co-hosted Fashion Police with Kelly from 2010 to 2015 — also used to call her that. 'It's like an amazing coincidence,' Sid said. 'Like meant to be. It was because she would buzz around and spread this good energy around like a bee.' In June 2024, Kelly shared a photo of Sid and Sidney walking together on the beach in honor of Father's Day. She wrote in that caption that 'any one can be a dad but very few are actually father's" — noting that Sid was the latter. '@sidthe3rd you are one amazing father I am honored and beyond lucky to be on this journey with you,' Kelly continued. 'Thank you [for] giving me the greatest gift life has to offer. 💜.'
