Kelly Osbourne is officially engaged to Slipknot turntablist Sid Wilson. The engagement took place backstage at a landmark event — her father Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance with Black Sabbath at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham on July 5, 2025.
The moment came after an emotional concert marking the end of a musical era for Ozzy Osbourne. Surrounded by close friends and family, Wilson, 48, got down on one knee and proposed to 40-year-old Kelly Osbourne.
According to reports, the proposal was heartfelt and simple. Sid said, “Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you.” At that point, Ozzy jokingly interrupted with a loud, “F--- off, you’re not marrying my daughter,” creating a light-hearted moment. Kelly said yes, and the couple shared the news through a short Instagram clip, which captured the raw and joyful reactions.
The engagement video quickly spread online, showing Kelly walking in backstage, visibly emotional. Friends and family clapped as Wilson popped the question. The proposal wasn’t just about the couple — it was tied deeply to the family’s history and emotion, making it more meaningful.
For the Osbourne family, the night held a dual significance — saying goodbye to Ozzy’s career with Black Sabbath and celebrating a new chapter in Kelly’s life.
Long Friendship Turns Into Lifelong Commitment
Kelly and Sid first met in 1999 during Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival founded by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. At the time, they became good friends and kept in touch over the years. It wasn’t until 2022 that the two began dating, with Kelly confirming their relationship in a Valentine’s Day post calling Sid her “best friend” and “soulmate.”
That same year, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Sidney. Kelly initially kept the news private, but her mother, Sharon Osbourne, later revealed it on a talk show. Kelly later clarified that she wanted to protect her child’s privacy.
The engagement ring itself carries special meaning. The custom design, nicknamed “Honeybee,” was crafted by expert jeweller Wendy Brandes. Made from 18k yellow gold, it features white and yellow diamonds along with citrine gems — a subtle nod to Kelly’s nickname, which the late Joan Rivers had also used for her.
Sources say Sid spent months planning the proposal and picking the ring, hoping to find the perfect time — and Ozzy’s farewell show gave him just that. The ring not only reflects Kelly’s style but also pays tribute to her past and the people who shaped her.
The couple has not announced a wedding date yet, but the engagement has certainly brought excitement to fans and friends alike. From Ozzfest to a family celebration backstage, Kelly and Sid’s story is one built on years of connection, music, and trust.
