In an unforgettable moment blending rock legacy and personal milestone, Kelly Osbourne said “yes” to longtime friend and partner Sid Wilson backstage during her father Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert with Black Sabbath on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
As the Prince of Darkness took the stage for his farewell bow, his daughter was beginning a new chapter of her own.
Wilson, best known as the masked DJ #0 from Slipknot, proposed to Kelly in an intimate setting surrounded by family and close friends, including Sharon and Jack Osbourne—and even little Sidney, their 2-year-old son. In a video shared by Kelly on Instagram, the 48-year-old musician professed his love before kneeling to ask the big question.
“Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,” Wilson began, only to be jokingly interrupted by Ozzy, 76, with a gruff, “F–k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!” The room erupted in laughter before Wilson continued, “Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. In front of your family and all of our friends, will you marry me?”
Kelly, 40, was visibly shocked but nodded through tears before embracing her now-fiancé in front of the cheering crowd. “Oh, and this happened yesterday!” she captioned her Instagram post, sealing the moment with a joyful announcement.
From Friendship to Forever
Kelly and Sid’s story spans over two decades. The pair first met in 1999 at Ozzfest, when Kelly was just 13 and Wilson was in his early 20s. Though the age gap kept their bond platonic at the time, the two remained friends for over 20 years before taking things romantic in early 2022. By November of that year, they had welcomed their son, Sidney.
“After 23 years of friendship, I can’t believe where we have ended up,” Kelly previously shared. “You are my best friend, my soulmate, and I am so deeply in love with you, Sidney George Wilson.”
Their love story developed slowly and naturally—Kelly recalled on The Osbournes Podcast how she was oblivious to Sid’s interest until a casual meetup in L.A. led to deeper conversations, connection, and eventually romance. “There was a sense of comfortability I’ve never had with anyone else,” she said.
A Proposal in the Shadow of a Legend
The timing of the proposal—during Black Sabbath’s historic final show—only added to its emotional weight. With Ozzy officially stepping away from live performance due to ongoing health issues, the evening was already rich in meaning for the Osbourne family.
Sharon Osbourne, beaming from the sidelines, watched as her daughter stepped into a new phase of her life just as her husband concluded his legendary career.
A Resilient Rock Romance
The engagement also marks a full-circle moment for Wilson, who endured a serious bonfire explosion in August 2024 that left him hospitalized with burns to his face and arms. After weeks of recovery and physical therapy, he returned to the stage and to family life, stronger than ever.
Their bond has only deepened through shared parenthood. Kelly, candid as ever, has opened up about the emotional highs and lows of motherhood—gestational diabetes, body image struggles, and her intense attachment to baby Sidney.
“I have a beautiful little boy and he is my reason for living,” she said during an interview last year. “Now I understand what the word ‘purpose’ really means.”
Despite the pressures of fame, recovery, and parenting in the public eye, the couple has remained a united front—making their engagement feel not just celebratory, but symbolic of resilience, healing, and legacy.
With both love and music in their DNA, Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson’s story continues—and now, it includes a ring, a promise, and one unforgettable night in rock history.
