The wild rocker once bit the head off a live bat during a gig in 1982 after it was thrown on stage and Ozzy, at the height of his drug addiction, believed it was made of rubber.

The couple have three children together, Amy, 32, Kelly, 31, Jack, 30.

Sharon and Ozzy met when she was just 18-years-old and working for her father, Don Arden, who was then managing Black Sabbath.

When Ozzy was sacked from the band in 1979, Sharon started to date him and took over his management as a solo artist.

Three years later in 1982, Ozzy and Sharon tied the knot in Maui, Hawaii.

The family – minus Aimee – starred in MTV reality TV show The Osbournes, which first aired in 2002.

Sharon revealed in 2013 how she was on the brink of divorcing her wayward rocker husband after discovering that after almost a decade off drink and drugs, he had relapsed.

The discovery was on the eve of their 30th wedding anniversary.

Writing in her autobiography ‘Unbreakable’, Sharon said: “I would never have imagined our anniversary would be the start of one of the worst periods in our marriage.

“I’d like to tell you he got me a vast bouquet and took me for a candlelit supper. But I wed Ozzy Osbourne.”

The couple patched things up when Ozzy attended therapy sessions and stayed sober.

He later told NME: “She was very pissed off. I thought I was gonna lose my family at one point.”

They’ve overcome many testing times in their eventful 34-year marriage.

But Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s relationship could finally be over for good after the former X Factor judge accused her husband of cheating with a celebrity hairstylist 22 years his junior, according to The Sun.

The fiery redhead allegedly kicked Ozzy out of their $10 million Beverly Hills home last week after claiming she had proof he had been having an affair with Michelle Pugh, 45

A source told the publication: ‘Sharon went ballistic with Ozzy and accused him of having the affair.

‘She said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof.

In March, Sharon, 63, shocked her fellow The Talk panellists when she revealed that Ozzy, 67, slept with two of the nannies hired to look after their children.

She said: ‘We used to have four nannies, because I had three children – I would work five days a week – I would travel because you can’t work a nanny seven days a week.

‘I’m telling you, they were the bane of my existence. They were all wanting to be celebrities. They were all wanting money.

Then, out of nowhere, dropped: ‘I caught two of them in bed with Ozzy! At different times. It goes on and on.’

Writing in her autobiography Unbreakable, she said: ‘I would never have imagined our anniversary would be the start of one of the worst periods in our marriage.’
She explained that she went through his texts and discovered that Ozzy had been taking prescription drugs for a year-and-a-half.
The star said: ‘I thought, ‘I can’t carry this any more. It’s what I have always done and I’m tired. I said, “I want a divorce.”’
But Ozzy has since started seeing a counsellor and psychiatrist on his own, with Sharon learning to accept her husband, saying: ‘You can’t change people. You either accept them as they are or you go.’
The couple have been known for their fiery relationship, with Ozzy blacking out and almost strangling Sharon after a five-day Vodka binge in 1989.
Ozzy met Sharon, the daughter of Black Sabbath’s manager Don Arden, when she was aged 18. They married in 1982 and have three children – Aimee 32, Kelly 31, and Jack 30.
In addition to coping with Ozzy’s addictions, Sharon battled colon cancer in 2002, and two years ago underwent a double mastectomy after she discovered she has a gene that puts her at greater risk of breast cancer.

She told the 67-year-old star she had proof he had been having an affair with rock-obsessed celebrity hairstylist Michelle Pugh, 45.

The Black Sabbath frontman then went missing for a couple of days after their furious bust-up – sparking fears he had relapsed into drink and drugs.

But he has since been in touch with the couple’s children and is staying at an LA hotel.

Yesterday “rock chick” Michelle cancelled a string of appointments at work, where her celebrity clients include Jennifer Lopez and actress Alicia Silverstone.

Her boss at top LA hair salon Meche said she had called in with what was described as a “personal emergency”.

The Osbournes’ publicist last night confirmed Ozzy was not at their $10million home in Beverly Hills — where a bouquet and a card had been delivered to 63-year-old Sharon.

Our source said: “Sharon went ballistic with Ozzy and accused him of having the affair.

“She said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof.

“People are wondering whether Sharon went through Ozzy’s phone before accusing him.

“She has done that before but in the past she was checking if he’d been using drugs.

“Ozzy was extremely sheepish and admitted being close to Michelle.

“It is likely Sharon has discovered calls and possibly meetings.”

The source added of the singer, who has battled drink and drugs demons for decades and nearly died in a quad bike accident in 2003: “When you look at Ozzy you have to wonder whether he is capable of a full-blown affair.

“But Sharon has definitely accused him, whether she’s got things muddled up or not.”

The couple — married for 34 years and parents to Aimee, 33, Kelly, 31, and Jack, 30 — are known to have one of the most explosive marriages in showbiz.

They split temporarily in 2013 after Ozzy fell off the wagon and started drinking and taking drugs again — but sources say this time it could be for good.

After last week’s bust-up Ozzy took refuge in the posh Beverly Hills Hotel.

Family and friends did not hear from him for two days – sparking fears he may have fallen off the wagon.

But our source said last night: “I don’t think Ozzy has relapsed, and has now been in touch with Jack and Kelly.

“But he is not speaking to Sharon and she has not let him back into the house.

“Ozzy went straight to the Beverly Hills hotel which is very near their home.

“He is well known there and has been there before when they’ve had rows.

“Their marriage is like Tom and Jerry and very up and down.

“But it could be over for good this time.”

Sharon began to grow suspicious of Ozzy’s relationship with Michelle, who lives alone in North Hollywood.

She moved to LA aged 18 in a bid to make it in music but instead became a hairstylist to the stars ten years ago.

On her salon Meche’s website she is described as being “inspired by rock and roll as much as she is by nature”.

Michelle, who has a number of distinctive tattoos, idolises legendary heavy metal band Metallica, who Ozzy has performed with.

The source added: “It is easy to see why Ozzy could have developed a relationship with Michelle.

“She is a real rock ’n’ roll chick and would have liked to be a rock star herself.”

Last night Michelle had removed recent posts from her Instagram account.

One included the cryptic: “Love isn’t keeping someone in your corral and under thumb, love is letting someone be with you who they can’t with most — themselves.”

She wrote on another: “Love IS all there is.

“A wise man said this to me recently, and it hasn’t left my mind.”

Ozzy is currently on a break from Black Sabbath’s global farewell tour The End.

Last month the band played gigs in Australia and New Zealand and are due to perform a string of dates in Europe in June.

A separate source said last night: “Sharon is absolutely furious – like a woman scorned.

“If Ozzy wants to get his marriage back on track before he goes to Europe he may have his work cut out.

“Ozzy and Sharon are always arguing and she’s kicked him out before but it feels more than that this time.

“It’s hanging by a thread.”

In 1989 Ozzy blacked out after a five-day vodka binge and almost strangled Sharon.

He was arrested for attempted murder but she did not press charges.

The couple split in April 2013 over Ozzy’s relapse into drink and drugs – but Sharon took him back the following month.

Ozzy confessed at the time: “I was in a very dark place and was an a**hole to the people I love most, my family.

“I’m happy to say I’m now 44 days sober.

“Sharon and I are not divorcing.”

Sharon, who had gone through his phone, later wrote of the crisis: “There were texts going back months – asking people for drugs and saying, ‘Don’t tell the old girl.’ It was all there.

“Everything I knew I’d find but desperately hoped I wouldn’t.

“My husband was abusing again.

“I thought, ‘I can’t carry this anymore. I’m tired. I want a divorce’.”

Their marriage has been rocked by accusations of cheating before.

Sharon told a US TV show in March: “We used to have four nannies because I had three children.

“And I’m telling you they were the bane of my existence.

“I caught two of them in bed with Ozzy at different times.

“And it goes on and on.”

In 2011, Sharon revealed that Ozzy thought she was having an affair with her make-up artist.

She brought the man – and his male partner – to meet Ozzy but he was still not convinced.

Sharon also battled colon cancer in 2002 and underwent a double mastectomy two years later after discovering she was at greater risk of breast cancer.

Last month she came out as bisexual.

Sharon and Ozzy’s spokesman Gary Farrow said last night: “At this time Ozzy is not at the marital home.”

 

It’s over for Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne.

The 67-year-old heavy metal rocker and the 63-year-old co-host of The Talk have broken up after more than 33 years of marriage, E! News has learned.

A source tells E! News that the couple mutually agreed that Ozzy would move out of the house temporarily. In addition, the split has nothing to do with Ozzy’s sobriety. Our insider shared that the rocker has been sober for three and a quarter years and has not touched drugs or alcohol in that time.

Ozzy and Sharon met in the early ’70s when he rose to fame with the band Black Sabbath. She later became his manager. The two wed on July 4, 1982 and had three children—Aimee Osbourne, 32, Kelly Osbourne, 31, and Jack Osbourne, 30. The family, minus Aimee, starred on the hit MTV reality show The Osbournes between 2002 and 2005.

In 2013, Ozzy and Sharon started sparking divorce rumors.

“Everything that has been printed in the tabloids has been distorted,” Sharon assured fans on The Talk at the time. “There’s always a little seed of truth to everything that gets reported, but then it gets very distorted.”

She made her comments a week after Ozzy wrote on Facebook, “Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing…I’m just trying to be a better person.”

He said he had been “drinking and taking drugs” but that he was 44 days’ sober.

“The only thing that’s true was the Facebook posting that my husband did on his Facebook where he said he’s been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year and a half…and that he has been in a very dark place,” Sharon said on The Talk. “That’s true. It’s very true.”
