New details have emerged about Kelly Osbourne’s breakup with Slipknot’s Sid Wilson, following yesterday’s news about her calling off their engagement. People Magazine reported the developments.
A source close to the situation provided insight into the emotional challenges Kelly has been facing and how they impacted her relationship with Wilson.
“She’s been in a challenging headspace for several reasons. It’s been very emotional for her. She’s had a lot going on. Ozzy’s death still affects her deeply,” the source revealed to People. “She’s very focused on being there for her mom right now. They’re incredibly close and that’s been her priority.”
The source also addressed the strain that different priorities placed on the couple’s relationship.
“It’s been hard for Kelly and Sid to balance everything, especially with different priorities about where to spend time,” the source added. “This has put a strain on their relationship.”
The revelations provide context for the couple’s decision to end their engagement, highlighting the personal struggles Kelly has been navigating while supporting her family.
The breakup marks the end of a relationship that began in 2022 when the couple first met at a music festival. People Magazine noted that Kelly and Sid went Instagram official that September, showcasing their connection with matching skull tattoos that symbolized their bond.
Their relationship progressed quickly. E! News documented that Kelly announced their relationship on The Kelly Osbourne Show podcast in May 2022, describing Sid as her “one” after years of dating challenges. The couple’s romance culminated in an engagement in 2023 during what People Magazine described as a romantic hot air balloon ride in Arizona. Kelly confirmed this on her Instagram account.
The former couple shares one son, Sidney, who was born in 2024. This adds another layer of complexity to their separation. Despite the emotional challenges surrounding their breakup, Us Weekly indicated that sources close to the situation say Kelly and Sid remain amicable and are committed to co-parenting their young son.
The end of their engagement comes during a particularly difficult period for Kelly, who continues to process the loss of her father, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, while supporting her mother Sharon through this challenging time. The combination of personal grief and family responsibilities appears to have created insurmountable pressure on the relationship. This ultimately led to their decision to part ways.
