- Sid Wilson proposed to Kelly Osbourne backstage at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5, immediately after Ozzy Osbourne’s final live performance with Black Sabbath.
- Kelly shared the surprise on Instagram on July 6, capturing her father’s playful interruption—“F**k off, you’re not marrying my daughter”—in the proposal video.
- The couple first met in 1999 during Ozzfest and turned their two-decade friendship into a romance in early 2022, later welcoming their son, Sidney, in November 2022.
