The breakup of Sid Wilson and Kelly Osbourne: reasons and details
23 march 2026 в 21:13
Sid Wilson is best known for his career in heavy metal, but in recent years, his relationship with former fiancée Kelly Osbourne has become a topic of discussion. The couple, who openly expressed their feelings for each other in 2022 after decades of friendship, became proud parents and got engaged on July 5, 2025—the same day Kelly’s father, Ozzy Osbourne, gave his final performance in Birmingham, England. By the end of that month, the family was mourning the death of Ozzy at the age of 76.
Unfortunately, Sid and Kelly’s relationship did not stand the test of time. In March 2026, several sources reported that the couple had broken up and ended their engagement.
«It was the biggest fight we ever had, and probably will ever have, over our son’s name», - she told her parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, in an episode of the «Osbournes» podcast in 2024. «I wanted our son to have both our last names, and he wouldn’t let me, and we had a huge fight. I feel like I was forced to do something I didn’t want to».
However, Kelly clarified that she «loves» Sid’s name. «Don't get me wrong. I love my child’s name. He is Sidney», - she admitted. «I don’t care that his name is Sid. I don’t care that they have the same middle name».
The former host of Fashion Police explained why she still wants to change their son’s name.
«We both became parents, so he should have both our last names», - she added. «Neither last name is more important than the other… It was more about pleasing his family than me, and I’m his partner».

Originally from Iowa, Sid has been performing as a DJ for many years, touring under the name DJ Starscream and performing solo. In Japan, the DJ gained popularity as a jungle music artist, previously signing with N2O Records.
The DJ name «Starscream» was inspired by his love for the Transformers franchise, as one of the characters bears that name. In the 1990s and 2000s, Sid performed as a DJ in the Midwest.
In addition to DJing, Sid also performs with the heavy metal band Slipknot. He joined the band in 1998 and remains with them to this day. Initially, he became a DJ but also played keyboards in the band.
Like his Slipknot bandmates, Sid performed in a gas mask. However, over time, he decided to diversify his performances by taking the stage in various masks—from gas masks to skulls.
In 1999, Sid and Kelly met at Ozzfest (an annual music festival founded by Sharon and Ozzy) when she was 15 years old. They became friends and maintained a strong friendship for many years. However, by 2022, their relationship shifted from platonic to romantic, and they confirmed that they were dating.
