It’s been 40 years of love and marriage for Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne. The two took to Instagram over the weekend to share their big milestone with the world.
A Tribute to Their Love
Ozzy, 73, shared a photo on his Instagram page from their wedding day on July 3, 1982, captioned, “40 Years Ago Today! Happy Anniversary My Love.” Sharon, 69, also posted a sweet tribute to the love they share on her Instagram page. She captioned her post, “2022 is a special year for me. It marks 40 years of marriage to my darling Ozzy. We first met when I was 18, over 52 years we have been friends, lovers, husband & wife, grandparents and soulmates. Always at each other’s side. I love you Ozzy – Sharrrrrrron x.”
Just Weeks After His Major Operation
The longtime love birds big milestone came just weeks after the singer had to undergo a “major operation.” Sharon explained on the British talk show, “The Talk” that she would be returning to Los Angeles to be by his side during this time. “It’s really going to determine the rest of his life,” she said. On June 16, the former Black Sabbath front man updated his Instagram followers by explaining, “I am now home from the hospital recuperating comfortably. I am definitely feeling the love and support from all my fans and send everyone a big thank you for their thoughts, prayers and well wishes during my recovery.” After the surgery, Sharon also thanked everyone for their support and updated fans by saying, “Our family would like to express so much gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love and support leading up to Ozzy’s surgery! Ozzy is doing well and on the road to recovery! Your love means the world to him.”
A Decades-Long Crazy Train
Over the course of their relationship, Sharon and Ozzy have had their share of ups and downs, including infidelity, addiction, and health problems when Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. But nothing seems to have stopped their love for each other. Their more than 50-year relationship made them parents to Jack, Aimee, and Kelly, and grandparents to three. In 2020, the couple talked to ET Online about the evolution of their longtime relationship. “Both of us were two oddballs that met. After so long and so much that we’ve gone through to keep this family together, you do become a soulmate. You do become codependent on each other. You don’t wanna go anywhere without each other or do anything without each other,” Sharon said. “The thought of not being with him is just unthinkable. As the years go on you just get closer. When a romance first starts its lust and its love, and it’s everything — sh**ts and giggles. It’s a different love. As you get older and things change in your lives it just becomes a different love.”
Sharing Their Lives with the World
The Osbournes are not new to sharing their lives with everyone. From 2002 to 2005, the couple broadcasted their day-to-day lives with everyone on their MTV reality show, “The Osbournes.” Two of their kids appeared on the show – Jack and Kelly. Their oldest daughter Aimee did not. “Nobody else in music or film had ever let you into their home on a day-to-day basis,” Sharon said. “Everything was so open. There was no…’Wait till the children go to bed, darling, and we’ll have a chat.’ If we chatted, they chatted.” She explained that everything was so open and maybe they shouldn’t have agreed to do the show, but they did. “I can’t take it back. I could never take it back. Thinking about it, there are loads of things that I would have done differently with my kids,” she said.
