Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne have continued to defy the odds as they celebrate their 43rd wedding anniversary. The iconic couple first crossed paths in 1970 when Sharon’s father was working with Ozzy’s band, Black Sabbath. After Ozzy’s departure from the band, Sharon took on the role of his manager and the two eventually fell in love. They tied the knot on July 4, 1982, in Hawaii and have since built a family together, raising three children – Aimée, Kelly, and Jack. In addition to their brood, Ozzy also has two children from his previous marriage.
In a heartwarming interview with PEOPLE in September 2022, Sharon reflected on the enduring strength of their relationship, stating, “We never gave up on each other. I mean, I wasn’t a saint. Ozzy wasn’t a saint. I gave him as good as he gave me. We’re just meant to be.” As they mark another milestone in their marriage, take a journey through their years together in a series of beautiful photographs capturing their love story.
