Sharon Osbourne entered the limelight when she took on the role of talent manager for her now-husband, Ozzy Osbourne.
After working together for almost three years, Sharon and Ozzy got married, and their relationship continues to thrive even after more than forty years.
In October 2022, Sharon shared with We that her husband is the person who makes her laugh the most. She chuckled as she recalled the time Ozzy gave her a straw hat with a flower, admitting it was too small and more suitable for a baby.
Over the years, Sharon and Ozzy, who have three children together, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, have openly shared their family's highs and lows. They even had their own reality TV series titled "The Osbournes," which aired on MTV for four seasons starting in 2002. Even after the show ended, Sharon continued to offer insights into their lives through various talk show hosting roles.

The Osbournes premiered on MTV the same year that Sharon privately battled colon cancer.
Sharon recounted her experience during a December 2015 episode of The Talk, where she mentioned going through chemo and having a massive seizure.

Attempting various treatments, including a blood transfusion, ultimately led to receiving electric shock treatment to prevent her from speaking.

Sharon was a judge on America’s Got Talent between seasons 2 and 7 before she unexpectedly quit in July.
In the same year, Sharon opted to undergo a proactive double mastectomy. She shared with Hello! in November, "Upon learning that I carried the breast cancer gene, I realized the odds were stacked against me. Considering my previous experience with cancer, I chose to eliminate any potential cloud of uncertainty by undergoing a double mastectomy. It was an easy and instinctive decision; I couldn't bear the thought of living with the constant fear."
2012 marked a significant milestone for Sharon and Ozzy as they embraced their new roles as grandparents. Their son Jack and his then-wife Lisa Stelly joyfully introduced their precious baby girl, Pearl. Over the years, Jack and Stelly expanded their family with the arrival of two more daughters before parting ways. In 2022, Jack experienced the joy of fatherhood once again as he and his second wife Aree Gearheart welcomed their daughter Maple. In January 2023, Kelly joined in on the grandchild count, delighting in the arrival of her son Sidney with her partner Sid Wilson.
