The last ever Black Sabbath show was an emotional event for fans of the Brummie rock band – but for frontman Ozzy Osbourne‘s daughter Kelly, emotions ran high for a different reason.
Her partner and the father of her son Sid Wilson, 48, a member of the rock band Slipknot, got down on one knee at Villa Par; and popped the question at the end of the gig, leaving Kelly, 40, open mouthed.
But their happy ending was decades in the making for the rockstar and the rockstar’s daughter, who first met when Kelly was 13 and Sid was 20.
The pair crossed paths in the 1990s at Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival created by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, when Slipknot was touring with the event.
But, as the mother-of-one has previously revealed, she and Sid ‘only ever saw each other as kids’ at the time due to the age difference.
Speaking on The Osbournes Podcast last year, she said: ‘We were just friends, because there was a seven-year age difference and back then, that was a huge, huge gap. I was 13 years old, and he was in his early 20s.’
However, sparks began to fly between the pair a decade later when they bumped into each other in LA in 2013.
‘It was 2013, maybe a bit before that,’ she recalled. ‘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.’

She revealed Sid invited her to a Slipknot concert shortly after this meeting, which she attended with no idea that he liked her romantically. However it led to the pair ‘talking more and hanging out more’.
Kelly continued: ‘It wasn’t, like, forced. Because we had been friends for so long and known each other for so long, there was a sense of comfortability that I’ve never had with anyone else.’
The pair confirmed their relationship in early 2022, after knowing each other for more than two decades.
‘After 23 years of friendship, I can’t believe where we’ve ended up!’ Kelly gushed on social media at the time.
Just months later, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Their son, Sidney, arrived in November 2022, making Ozzy a grandfather for the fifth time.

‘We’re going to get a bigger house; we’re just trying to figure out where. Do we want to be close to the studio? Or do we want to go back to England?’ Kelly said.
‘My son is going to go to school in England. The school system is a bit different in the U.K., and I like the idea of uniforms. I like the idea of no guns [in] schools.’
After struggling with addiction in the past, Kelly credits her son,Sidney with ‘saving her.’
She also admitted that her life completely ‘changed’ since having her son, saying she didn’t know ‘how powerful the feeling of love was going to be.’
Kelly has always been very protective over her son and she was left fuming after her mother Sharon shared her newborn son’s secret name on talk show.
In 1998, Sid joined the heavy metal band Slipknot as a keyboardist and turntablist, featuring on the band’s debut, self-titled album, a year later

Sharon not only confirmed her daughter had given birth, but also revealed the name of her newborn grandson to the world.
In response, Kelly posted a furious Instagram story in which she said: ‘I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one’s place but mine to share any information about my baby.’
She had not officially confirmed Sidney’s arrival herself when Sharon made the big reveal about her new grandson’s during an appearance on Talk TV.

Co-host JJ Anisiobi asked Sharon if she helps to look after the newborn, to which Sharon replied: ‘Yes’.
She gushed: ‘They’re doing just so great. So great. She won’t let a picture go out of him and I’m so proud of her.’

And now Kelly will not only be a ‘mumma’, but a rock and roll wife, after Sid popped the question in front of her family and friends at Ozzy’s final gig with Black Sabbath last weekend.
In the clip of the proposal, Kelly’s mother Sharon appeared to have guessed what was about to happen as she shouted at the crowded room: ‘You’ve got to be quiet!’
Sid was then seen standing in front of Ozzy and Sharon, preparing to get down on one knee before his future father-in-law cheekily interrupted: ‘F**k off you’re not marrying my daughter are you?’
Sid laughed as he continued: ‘Kelly you know I love you more than anything. Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you.’
‘So in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly will you marry me?’ A delighted Ozzy asked Sid for a look at the ring as Sharon applauded, before Kelly jumped into her new fiancé’s arms.

Hours earlier, Kelly had shared a gushing post reflecting on her ‘magical’ evening at Ozzy’s final show.
Posting a gallery of snaps from the evening, she penned the caption: ‘To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement!
‘I can’t even write this without tears streaming down my face! Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad.
‘Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and goodbye in the most beautiful way!’
Speaking in October Kelly said that Sid ‘really wants to get married,’ but that is wasn’t important to her.
Although she isn’t keen on getting married, Kelly confirmed last year that she would exchange vows with Sid because it’s important to him.
Following Joan’s death Kelly got a bumble bee tattoo in tribute to her late pal and the nickname she had given her
‘I found my guy. We don’t need the certificate. But I know Sid really wants to get married, so we will get married. It’s not as important to me,’ she told Us Weekly.
‘I’ve worn so many beautiful dresses and had so many moments that have been just about me, so that whole idea of a big day isn’t as important to me …
‘Never in a million f****** years did I think I’d end up with a rock star partner, but I did.’
And there is an adorable special meaning behind Kelly’s eye-popping diamond engagement ring.
TheMailOnline exclusively revealed how the Slipknot musician turned to luxury jeweller Mouawad to help him create the custom sparkler which also paid tribute to his partner’s late friend Joan Rivers.
In a clip from Sid’s first meeting with Mouawad boss Pascal Mouawad, he explained that he wanted the bauble to nod to a nickname both he and the comedian, who died in 2014 aged 81, had for Kelly, 40.
He said: ‘So I have a nickname for Kelly, and it’s “Honeybee” and coincidentally a friend of hers, Joan Rivers used to call her this’.
‘It was a nickname [Joan] had for her. I didn’t know this, it’s like an amazing coincidence, it’s like whoa, like meant to be’.
He explained how Kelly, who co-hosted E! Fashion Police with the late Joan, had landed the moniker due to her always ‘buzzing around’ and ‘spreading good energy’ so wanted the ring to be inspired by bees and pollen.
Drawing from this affectionate nickname, the ring’s design features a unique beehive inspired structure, seamlessly marrying sentiment with elegance.
The result is a dazzling 18K yellow gold ring adorned with both white and yellow diamonds, as well as citrine accents.
If that wasn’t enough the centre piece is a stunning 2.5 carat round brilliant-cut diamond, symbolising the enduring and multifaceted nature of love.
Later in the clip Sid was left stunned when he saw the ring for the first time and his idea come to life.
‘It’s like blinding! it sparklers!’ he exclaimed, ‘She’s just going to love it, it’s beautiful’ before choking back tears as he described the gorgeous ring as ‘more than perfect’.
Following Joan’s death Kelly got a bumble bee tattoo in tribute to her late pal and the nickname she had given her.
Taking to Instagram she wrote ‘In honor of you @joanrivers…”If you looked at aerodynamics, at science, the bumble bee should not be able to fly. Physically, it was just not anatomically equipped to soar.
‘Yet it did, defying gravity, defying logic. The bee was a creature that defied and beat the odds, a miracle.” Thank you for being my Miracle @joanrivers.
