Kelly Osbourne is reportedly creating distance between herself and her mother, Sharon Osbourne, a rift exacerbated by significant political disagreements and diverging life choices. The growing divide comes more than a year after the death of patriarch Ozzy Osbourne in July 2025.
Sources close to the family indicate that Kelly and Sharon are currently speaking minimally, a stark contrast to their previously inseparable bond, especially in the wake of Ozzy's passing. The two were notably seen together, supporting each other, when they accepted a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award for the late Black Sabbath frontman at the Brit Awards earlier this year.
The divergence in their relationship is attributed in part to Kelly's embrace of liberal and "woke" ideals, which stand in contrast to Sharon's increasingly vocal support for right-wing causes and conservative viewpoints. Kelly has described herself as a "big Leftie" and voiced discomfort with her mother's political stances, stating, "I don’t agree with my mum. That’s one thing that I can say I don’t agree with her on."
Kelly, 41, has been actively extricating herself from the Osbourne brand, which achieved global fame and fortune through the reality show "At Home with the Osbournes." She is establishing a new life in the UK, having reportedly purchased a rural property in Buckinghamshire where she intends to raise her three-year-old son, Sidney. This move contrasts with much of her family, including Sharon, who spend considerable time in Los Angeles.
This period has been challenging for Kelly, marked not only by grief over her father's death but also by a recent difficult split from her fiancé, Sid Wilson, Sidney's father. Friends have described the breakup as "difficult and dramatic," with Kelly expressing frustration over issues related to responsibility, possessions, and child support.
Despite these personal struggles, Kelly has been actively rebuilding her career in the UK, attending various events for fashion houses and brands. These appearances are reportedly lucrative, with some outings commanding fees around £10,000, providing her with financial independence as she navigates life as a single mother. She has signed with a showbiz management agency, Keye Talent.
Sources indicate that Kelly is taking pride in earning her own money and embracing a simpler lifestyle, a significant departure from her upbringing in a Beverly Hills mansion. While she has found success and control in her new direction, the growing rift with her mother has created a distance at a time when, according to some perspectives, they might need each other most.
Sharon Osbourne, 73, continues to divide her time between the family's Los Angeles estate and their property in Buckinghamshire, where Ozzy is buried. Her public support for right-wing causes, including an reported attendance at the Unite The Kingdom march in London, further highlights the ideological chasm between her and Kelly.
