Sharon Osbourne Shares Touching Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne as She Marks Her First Valentine's Day Without Him

Marking her first Valentine's Day without her husband, the 73-year-old shared a simple yet powerful image that spoke of permanence, loss, and enduring devotion. The photographs that trace the couple's journey — from the mid-1980s to her poignant February 14 tribute — await at the end of this article.

February 14 carried a different weight for Sharon Osbourne this year. For the first time in more than four decades, the 73-year-old spent Valentine's Day without Ozzy Osbourne — the man she married in 1982 and repeatedly described as her soulmate.

Rather than issue a lengthy statement, she chose a single image to mark the occasion. Posted to Instagram, the photograph showed Sharon's hand gently clasping Ozzy's. His wedding band glinted under soft light as his tattooed hand rested beneath hers.

The frame was intimate and tightly cropped. No faces, no setting — just connection. She captioned it, "Forever Valentine," followed by an infinity symbol.

The response online was emotional as well as supportive. "This love will never end… Ozzy for ever [sic]🫶🏼❣️," one person shared. "I cried with your post 😢😢😢😢," another commented. "Poor Sharon!!" a third wrote.

Several reflected on the depth of their marriage. "She really loves this man. For all he put her through she stayed. It was pure love. Soulmates xx," one netizen typed.

Others focused on the difficulty of first anniversaries. "The first year is the worst. It's the first birthdays (yours and theirs without them) Christmas etc. it doesn't get easier you just learn to live with it [sic]," one person shared.

Another person reflected on seeing Ozzy honour Sharon during a past Ozzfest in Atlanta, United States, on July 4, recalling how he brought her on stage for their anniversary as the crowd sang "Mama I'm Coming Home" while they danced together.

The commenter described it as one of the most beautiful moments they had witnessed, adding that although the world is not the same without him, his legacy will live on. Together, the tributes framed Sharon and Ozzy not just as public figures, but as partners bound by history.

Ozzy died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home in July last year. He was 76. His passing marked the end of one of rock music's most enduring and turbulent partnerships — both professionally and personally.

In the months since, Sharon has navigated her grief largely in public view. Earlier this month, she appeared alongside her children, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, at Universal Music Group's afterparty following the 2026 Grammy Awards.

The outing came after an emotional moment during the ceremony itself. Ozzy's career was honoured during the "In Memoriam" segment, when Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt performed Black Sabbath's "War Pigs."

Standing in the audience, Sharon dabbed at her eyes. Kelly appeared visibly shaken as well, while Jack stared forward, jaw tight. Their grief was visible and unguarded.

Ahead of the ceremony, Kelly described losing her father as the "hardest thing" she had ever experienced. When the tribute began, that loss played out in real time. Yet her mother's Valentine's Day post underscored the private cost of that loss.

The image of the couple's hands — familiar, steady — suggested continuity despite absence. For decades, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne's marriage unfolded against the backdrop of fame, addiction, reinvention, and resilience.

Their relationship became inseparable from his legacy. And now, as February 14 rolled around this year, there were no grand gestures — only hands intertwined and two words that carried a lifetime of meaning.
