“No relationship is easy, and you have to work at it,” Sharon told E! News in 2023. “You get your ugly times, your bad times and your horrific times. But if you love each other enough, you’ll work through.”
In their final years together, they relished being grandparents, Jack a father of four daughters—Pearl, Andy and Minnie with ex-wife Lisa Stelly and Maple with wife Aree Gearhart—and Kelly sharing son Sidney with fiancé Sid Wilson.
“I never had a chance to see much of my kids growing up because I was always on the road,” Ozzy told Rolling Stone in 2023. “But being at home has allowed me to do that as a grandad, and little Sid is just f–king great.”
“I do count my lucky stars,” he added. “I don’t know why I’m still here and I do sometimes think I’m on borrowed time. I said to Sharon the other day, ‘What a great f–king life we’ve had and what a great f–king experience.’”
