When Sharon met Ozzy Osbourne at 18, it was not love at first sight, as many would have imagined. She was a young woman working as a receptionist for her dad, London music executive Don Arden.

At the time, Arden had just signed Ozzy’s heavy-metal band, Black Sabbath. The rock star instantly noticed Sharon, describing her as intelligent and classy.

Sharon also noticed Ozzy right away, but not for the same reasons. Speaking about her first impression of the man who would one day be her husband, she said:

“Ozzy walked into my father’s office without shoes, with a water faucet dangling from his neck, and sat on the floor. I was terrified!”

Sharon thought Ozzy and his bandmates were “all odd and hairy,” and she couldn’t imagine ever falling in love with one of them. Little did she know, she had already met her life-long partner at such a young age.

Ozzy Bought Sharon Plenty of Rings

In 1981, Ozzy left his first wife, Thelma, to be with Sharon. They got married a year later after several fights.

Sharon once revealed that they had five engagement rings throughout that time. Each time Ozzy proposed, they would fight, and she would throw the rock out the window.

She finally accepted his proposal after spending two days searching a hotel’s gardens for a diamond worth $10,000. After a falling out with her father, Sharon began managing Ozzy’s career, and she drowned herself in work.

Sharon and Ozzy have three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. People have seen them on screen, thanks to their reality TV shows.

Despite being together for 41 years, Ozzy and Sharon have gone through a lot of issues through the years. Each time they would fight, Sharon described it as physical.

They would throw plates, toss around their furniture, hit, and kick. Ozzy would then leave the house each time, head to Tiffany’s, and buy Sharon jewelry.

“After a big, crazy fight, I go out and buy her a diamond ring or a necklace,” he once shared. Sharon agreed, saying her rockstar husband is a beloved client at the famous jeweler.
