Let me tell you, the story of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne is like a rock anthem full of highs and lows. Their journey began way back in 1979 when Sharon’s dad, Don Arden, managed Ozzy's iconic band, Black Sabbath. That’s how these two legends met and started dating. Not long after, they tied the knot in 1982 and went on to build a family with three beautiful children. But are they still rocking the marital stage together? Let’s find out.
Ozzy Osbourne’s First Marriage: Who Was She?
Before Sharon came into the picture, Ozzy had another chapter in his life. From 1971 to 1982, the Grammy-winning rock star was married to his first wife, Thelma Riley. This union wasn’t just about love—it was also about family. Ozzy adopted Thelma’s son, Elliott, from a previous relationship, and together they welcomed two more children: Jessica in 1972 and Louis in 1975. Thelma played a significant role in shaping Ozzy’s early years as a dad, but their journey came to an end in 1982.
When Did Ozzy and Sharon Say "I Do"?
Right after his marriage to Thelma ended, Ozzy found love again with Sharon. In 1982, they exchanged vows in Hawaii, starting a new chapter in their lives. Their first child, Aimee, arrived in 1983, followed by Kelly in 1984, and finally Jack in 1985. This family of rockers didn’t just stay behind the scenes—they brought their lives to the forefront with the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes. Running from 2002 to 2005, the series gave fans an inside look at their chaotic yet loving family life, except for Aimee, who chose to stay out of the spotlight.

What Caused Ozzy and Sharon’s Temporary Split?
Even the strongest relationships hit rough patches, and Ozzy and Sharon were no exception. In May 2016, after 33 years of marriage, they shocked fans by announcing a split. Sharon opened up about the breakup on an episode of The Talk, revealing that Ozzy’s infidelity was the reason behind their separation. But let me tell you, Sharon wasn’t one to wallow in sadness. Instead, she channeled her pain into strength.
“I’m honestly empowered,” she told her cohosts at the time. “I’ve found this inner strength, and I’m like, ‘Right. OK! What’s next? I can handle this.’”
Thankfully, this wasn’t the end of their story. After taking some time apart, Ozzy and Sharon found their way back to each other. In May 2017, they renewed their vows in Las Vegas, proving that love can conquer all. Over the years, Ozzy has made several heartfelt apologies for his past mistakes.
“I’ve done some pretty outrageous things in my life. I regret cheating on my wife. I don’t do it anymore,” Ozzy confessed during a November 2020 interview with GQ. “I got my reality check and I’m lucky she didn’t leave me. I’m not proud of that. I was pissed off with myself. But I broke her heart.”
Are Ozzy and Sharon Still Together Today?
Despite the challenges they’ve faced, Ozzy and Sharon are still standing strong together. Sharon has been Ozzy’s rock as he battles Parkinson’s disease and other health issues. In July 2022, they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, proving that their love is as strong as ever.
“Forty years have gone by like a flash,” Ozzy said during a December 2022 interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. “If I’d not met Sharon, and fallen in love with Sharon, I’d be dead. Without any shadow of a doubt, I would be dead. Through her tough love, she kept my head above water. She kicked my butt. … Sharon’s a fighter.”
