Kelly Osbourne's response to Sid Wilson was a resounding "Yes!" During her father Ozzy Osbourne's final concert with Black Sabbath at England's Villa Park on July 5th, the singer of "One Word" revealed that she and Slipknot's turntablist had gotten engaged backstage.
In a video posted to Kelly's Instagram on July 6th, Sid professed his undying love, saying, "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world." Ozzy, 76, then humorously interrupted with, "Get lost, you're not marrying my daughter." The 48-year-old Sid, laughing off Ozzy's playful remark, then dropped to one knee.
With a heartfelt gaze, he continued, "Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you," as Sharon Osbourne watched with a beaming smile in the background. "In front of your family and all of our friends, will you marry me?" Kelly, stunned, her jaw dropping in amazement, nodded enthusiastically and pulled her fiancé into an intense embrace.
"Oh," Kelly, 40, added in the caption, "and this happened yesterday!" The couple's tender engagement came three years after Kelly and Sid, who share a 2-year-old son named Sidney, officially announced their romance on Instagram.
"After 23 years of friendship, I can't believe where we have ended up," Kelly wrote on Instagram in February 2022 alongside a photo of them sharing a kiss. "You are my best friend, my soulmate, and I am so deeply in love with you, Sidney George Wilson."
Although they only confirmed their relationship in 2022, the musicians first met when Kelly was a teenager at the 1999 Ozzfest. "I think we only ever saw each other as kids," the singer of "Suburbia" explained on The Osbournes Podcast last March. "We were just friends because there was a seven-year age difference, and back then, that was a huge gap. I was 13 years old, and he was in his early 20s."
"It was around 2013, maybe a bit before that," she continued. "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 at the time."
After Sid eventually invited her to a Slipknot concert in Los Angeles, the rest, as they say, was history. "I went to the show still oblivious to his feelings, and then we just started talking and hanging out more. It happened very naturally," she recalled. "It wasn't forced. Because we had been friends for so long and known each other so well, there was a sense of comfortability with him that I've never experienced with anyone else."
