Sharon and Ozzy were married for 43 years. They share three children: Aimee, Jack, and Kelly.

Some of their crazy love fest was featured on the popular MTV reality series, The Osbournes. Its finale episode made history at the time for its high viewership.

The outspoken former co-host of CBS’s The Talk held the hands of her children during the procession. Each grew emotional throughout the service.

The family announced his death in a statement, saying, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.” Ozzy also had other children, Louis, Jessica, and Elliot.

Sharon has been open about her and Ozzy’s ups and downs. They briefly split in 2016, which she spoke about on her talk show. She spoke with PEOPLE about their rollercoaster relationship in 2022, saying they “never gave up on each other.”

Sharon said, “I mean, I wasn’t a saint. Ozzy wasn’t a saint,” she said. “I gave him as good as he gave me. We’re just meant to be.” Ozzy added that his proudest moment was “having a marriage that lasted,” adding, “I believe you only have one real love in your life. I’m still in love with my wife,” he said. “That’s the main thing.”

Weeks before his death, on July 5, Ozzy reunited with Black Sabbath in his first performance with the band in 20 years. It would mark his final performance. He was unable to stand due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. He and Sharon also celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary two weeks prior to his death.

Sharon and Ozzy first met in 1970 when her father was his manager. She became his manager after he was fired from the band in 1979 for substance abuse and encouraged his solo career. They began an affair while he was still married to his first wife until they divorced in 1982. They wed not too long after Ozzy’s divorce.
