Kelly Osbourne has split from her fiancé sid wilson, seven months after he proposed backstage at her late father Ozzy Osbourne’s final Black Sabbath concert in Birmingham. Published 10: 39 AM ET March 23, 2026; Updated 11: 59 AM ET March 23, 2026. The separation comes as Kelly publicly faces grief over her father’s death and intense online scrutiny of her health and wellbeing.
Details of the split
The couple ended their engagement after an on-again, off-again period that followed a high-profile proposal last July. Kelly, 41, and the Slipknot DJ, 49, first met 27 years ago and share a three-year-old son, Sidney. The family had been living on a farm in Iowa and were last photographed together at the Grammy Awards in February. Since then, Kelly has made only a handful of public appearances with friends and with her mother, Sharon.
Sid Wilson and the proposal at Ozzy’s final show
The proposal that preceded the split took place backstage at the Black Sabbath show in Birmingham, where Sid Wilson asked Kelly to marry him in front of her family — including Ozzy, Sharon and her brother Jack — presenting her with a large diamond ring. Kelly later said she had ‘no clue’ the moment was coming. The concert was heralded inside the family as a final appearance by Ozzy; his death followed not long after that farewell.
Immediate reactions and what Kelly has said
Kelly has written directly about the pressure she has faced online since her father’s passing. On Instagram she described a wave of cruelty, writing: ‘There is a special kind of cruelty in hurting someone who is already going through something deeply painful. ‘ She added that she was going through the ‘hardest’ time of her life and had felt ‘dehumanised’ by commentary about her appearance. Those public posts have been the clearest statements from Kelly as she manages bereavement and a change in her personal life.
The split closes a chapter that began publicly with an emotional, family-centred proposal and a long friendship turned romance. Reporting in the public record notes the couple welcomed their son Sidney in 2022 and were photographed together at high-profile music events through early 2026, but have not appeared together in recent weeks.
What happens next remains focused on private family arrangements and Kelly’s immediate wellbeing. Her statements about online abuse and the difficulties of grief frame the personal context for the decision to separate, and she has signalled a focus on coping with bereavement in public remarks.
As this story develops, timelines will centre on custody, family support and any public statements from Kelly or Sid, and the entertainment community will be watching both for further comment and for how the family navigates memorial events connected to Ozzy. For now, Kelly is contending with grief, public scrutiny and the end of an engagement to sid wilson while raising their son and managing her public platform.
