Crazy, but that’s how it goes! The Osbourne family paved the way for a new kind of reality television that focused on family dynamics and gave a glimpse inside the lifestyles of the rich and the famous.
Ozzy Osbourne and his manager, Sharon Osbourne, tied the knot in July 1982 in Maui. Sharon gave birth to their eldest daughter, Aimee, in September 1983 followed by daughter Kelly in October 1984 and son Jack in November 1985. Ozzy is also the father of children Elliott, Louis and Jessica, with whom he shares with ex-wife Thelma Riley.
The former Black Sabbath lead singer was known for his onstage antics, but his family also entered the public eye on the MTV reality series The Osbournes. The Emmy-winning show — which ran from 2002 to 2005 — followed Sharon and Ozzy as they attempted to parent their rebellious teens.
Kelly told WTOP in 2017 that filming reality TV was drastically different in the early 2000s.
“We were the first and only ones who did it the way we did it,” the Fashion Police alum said. “[Today], they’ll film a season in less than six weeks. It took us six months! If we did it the way that they do it now, we’d probably still be doing it. You have a lot more control. But we got to a point where we’re like, ‘Let’s end on a high, people know who we are now, it isn’t what we want to do forever, [so] it’s a nice time to stop.’”
However, Aimee chose not to appear on the show with the rest of the Osbourne clan. In 2020, Sharon explained on The Talk that she didn’t blame her oldest daughter for avoiding the spotlight. The Celebrity Apprentice alum detailed the intensive filming process, which included about 30 crew members following them “24 hours a day.”
“The house wasn’t a home anymore. It was a studio,” she said. “So, I get why she didn’t like it. But would I have done it differently? I didn’t know what I was doing then. So, you know, I wouldn’t have done anything differently because I had an unbelievable time doing it.”
The Osbourne family briefly returned to TV with their short-lived variety series Osbournes Reloaded, but the show was canceled in 2009 after one season. Ozzy and Jack teamed up for the reality series Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour in 2016, but the show ended after three seasons. The “Crazy Train” singer and Jack reunited with Sharon and Kelly for their Travel Channel series, The Osbournes Want to Believe, in 2020.
The Osbourne brood has also expanded since their MTV days. Jack is the father of daughters Pearl, Andy and Minnie, whom he welcomed in 2012, 2015 and 2018, respectively, with ex-wife Lisa Stelly. The former couple were married from 2012 to 2018. Jack later moved on with Aree Gearhart, and the duo got engaged in December 2021. The designer announced three months later that she was expecting her first child with Jack. Their daughter, Maple Artemis, arrived in July 2022.
“It’s all time management now,” Jack told Us Weekly in April 2019 when asked how he was adjusting to single coparenting. “Especially getting the kids out in the morning. Although it’s my favorite part of the day — getting them up, getting them ready — it’s still very stressful. But yeah, it’s good.”

The family helped promote their new reality show on MTV's TRL, which showed a different side of the rocker — something he had wanted to do for a long time. "I'm about caring, I'm about people, and I'm about entertaining people. I'm a family man. A husband. A father. I've been a lot of other things over the years, which we don't really want to talk about," Ozzy told LAUNCH magazine in 1998. "I'm always working on trying to better myself, you know? I think that that is an ongoing thing with me." Scott Gries/Getty Images

During their schooling, Kelly and Jack (not pictured) stayed in their native London and went on the road with dad Ozzy during breaks. "The kids would go to California and stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel and see all the Paris Hiltons and all that s--t, and then they'd come home and . . . we had a very normal life," Sharon once told Biography. "It was a good learning experience for the kids." Dave Hogan/Getty Images

"My eldest daughter, Aimee, is very private and doesn't want anything to do with the world of celebrity -- who can blame her?" Sharon told Piers Morgan. "She elected not to appear in The Osbournes and my only regret about doing the show is that it meant I spent less time with her while we were filming it." Brooks/INFphoto.com
Jack (with his parents in 2010) became a first-time father in April when then-fiancée Lisa Stelly gave birth to their daughter Pearl. Dad Ozzy's advice to his only son: "He just said, 'now Jack will realize the meaning of love, because you will never love anything the way you love your first child,'" Sharon relayed to Us.
