Sharon Osbourne commemorated what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary with her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne. She shared a touching message on social media dedicated to the iconic Black Sabbath singer, who passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76.

In her post, Sharon expressed her enduring love by stating, “Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary. Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way. Forever my husband. Forever my heart.” She posted a heartfelt photo of herself holding hands with Ozzy.

Amanda Kloots and Carmen Electra also showered Sharon with affection.

Sharon and Ozzy first met in the early 1970s, with Sharon becoming his manager after he left Black Sabbath in 1979. Their marriage began on July 4, 1982, in Maui, Hawaii. They had three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. Their relationship, which lasted over four decades, faced numerous challenges such as addiction and health issues, but their commitment to each other was steadfast. The public gained insight into their family dynamics through the MTV show “The Osbournes.”

Kelly Osbourne also paid a tribute to her parents on social media in honor of their anniversary. She wrote about the emotional weight of the day and reflected on the depth of her parents’ love. She assured Sharon that her father’s love continues to surround them in various ways and emphasized Sharon’s resilience and compassion.

Ozzy’s passing was marked by a private memorial with family and an elaborate floral tribute at their lakeside home. His battle with health problems, including a Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2022, was highlighted during this time.

In a previously published column for The Times in 2011, Ozzy wrote about his funeral preferences, emphasizing a desire for a celebration rather than a somber occasion. He mentioned wanting some fun elements, such as pranks and lighthearted music choices, wanting his funeral to be a moment of gratitude and reflection on a life well-lived.
