Sharon Couldn't Imagine Her Life Without Ozzy Osbourne – Their More than 40-Year Love Story in 60 Photos

She was the sharp-witted daughter of a music manager. He was the unpredictable frontman of Black Sabbath. Together, they built a life as chaotic as it was committed.

From backstage beginnings to decades of devotion, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's marriage has survived fame, scandal, and everything in between. Here's a look back at their 43-year love story — told in 60 unforgettable photos.

1982

Sharon met Ozzy at 18, when he came to her father's office with Black Sabbath. At first, she was put off — they were unlike the slick American artists she knew.

But after seeing them perform, she was hooked. By 1980, they were a couple. Both broke and cut off from their pasts, they married on July 4, 1982, in Maui.

Now in their 70s, Ozzy and Sharon faced a new reality shaped by his declining health over the years. Ozzy had battled Parkinson's disease and undergone multiple spinal surgeries after a fall.

"It's just been heartbreaking for me to see my husband in a position where he's not self-sufficient; he needs help. He was so vibrant, with such a zest for life. But you learn to adapt," Sharon shared.

With touring behind him, Sharon had stepped into the role of caregiver — not out of duty, but out of love. However, while their lives had quieted, their connection had only deepened.

Reflecting on their four-decade marriage, Sharon said of the secret to their longevity, "We're both odd balls." Their bond, forged in wild youth and tested through years of fame and hardship, remained as strong — and as unique — as ever.

2024

In 2024, Ozzy and Sharon marked 42 years of marriage — a milestone not without its scars. Their relationship had been tested time and again, and Sharon made it clear it hadn't always been sunshine and rainbows.

One of the most painful chapters came almost a decade earlier, when she discovered Ozzy's affair with a hairdresser — a betrayal that nearly ended her life. Sharon said she had long tolerated groupies as part of Ozzy's rock and roll lifestyle, but this time was different.

"When he knows the name of the person, where they live, and where they work... it is a whole different thing," she explained. Reeling from the emotional weight, she "took an overdose" and locked herself in a room, unsure if she could go on.

But through pain came perspective. Sharon chose to forgive her husband and keep fighting for what they had. "I just can't think of my life without him in it. It’s unthinkable for me," she admitted.

"I've never loved anyone as much as I've loved him — and without that, there's no hope of keeping a relationship together, is there?" Sharon added.

2025

On July 4, 2025, Ozzy and Sharon celebrated 43 years of marriage. After decades filled with chaos, fame, heartbreak, and healing, their bond remained unshakable. As Sharon said, imagining life without Ozzy was "unthinkable" — a sentiment that has recently carried even more weight.

Throughout this year, she's continued to share glimpses of their life together on Instagram, offering fans a window into their enduring connection.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's story wasn't perfect, but it was real — a rare kind of love that survived the darkest moments and still stood strong more than four decades later.
