Sharon Osbourne: Ozzy's first wife was a student, not a star
24 Feb
Summary
- Sharon Osbourne contrasts her personality with Ozzy's first wife, Thelma.
- Thelma was a student who married Ozzy during Black Sabbath's early rise.
- Ozzy and Sharon have maintained a close relationship with his son Louis.
Sharon Osbourne recently discussed her husband Ozzy's first marriage to Thelma on the Dumb Blonde podcast. Osbourne contrasted her own vibrant personality with Thelma's, who was a student and married Ozzy early in Black Sabbath's burgeoning career. Thelma had a child before marrying Ozzy, and together they welcomed three children: Elliott (adopted), Jessica, and Louis.
Ozzy's first marriage ultimately ended as their lives diverged; he was frequently on the road with the band, and his struggles with alcohol impacted their home life. Sharon, who first met Ozzy in 1970 and became his manager in 1979, married him in 1982. The couple had three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack.
Despite the circumstances of the marriages, Sharon maintained a close relationship with Ozzy's son, Louis, describing their family as a strong unit. Louis was present at Ozzy's funeral procession in Birmingham, UK, following his death in July 2025. Ozzy himself later expressed profound regret for his past actions as a husband and father, acknowledging his decades of mistakes and prioritizing sobriety.
