Kelly Osbourne is a proud mom to her son, Sidney.
The television personality welcomed her only child with her rockstar boyfriend, Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson, in late 2022. During a September 2023 interview, the Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour star opened up about life as a new parent.
“I’m a mom now, I love it,” she told E! News. “It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.” While Kelly initially tried to keep details of her son’s life private, her mom, Sharon Osbourne, revealed the name of her grandson during a January 2023 episode of the United Kingdom’s The Talk.
“Sidney,” the grandmother said on the show, adding that Kelly and her baby were “doing so great, so great.”
In March 2023, Kelly shared the first photo of baby Sidney on her Instagram Stories. The shot showed Kelly holding her son with a sticker in the bottom corner that read, “Lights, Camera, Action.” A second photo featured Kelly’s brother, Jack Osbourne, making a shocked face while pointing down at his nephew.
Here’s everything to know about Kelly Osbourne’s son, Sidney.
He was born in late 2022
Kelly and Wilson welcomed their son Sidney in November 2022. The new mom faced complications during birth and said that she became a “different person” after the experience.
“I got him out in four pushes,” Kelly told PEOPLE in May 2024. “Before we started pushing, he turned and the cord got wrapped around his neck. So when we got going, the doctor was like, ‘Ok, we’re going to have to do this quickly.’ So I was like, ‘Ok, we’re doing this, I’m going to get him out.’ ”
He has both of his parents’ last names
Kelly and her son’s father, Wilson, had a hard time settling on Sidney’s name.
During the February 2024 episode of The Osbournes Podcast, with her parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly revealed that her biggest fight with Wilson was about their child’s surname.
“This is personal, and I didn’t expect to ever talk about this, but I’m going to,” Kelly said. “It’s the biggest fight me and my baby’s father have ever ever ever had, and probably ever ever will.”
Kelly wanted Sidney to have a double-barreled last name containing both of their surnames — Wilson and Osbourne — however, Kelly said Wilson initially “wouldn’t let” that happen.
“After lots of eye-opening conversations and some couples therapy, he has seen the light,” Kelly explained. “We are going to legally change our son’s name to have both of our last names.”
Sidney will be raised like his mom
In an interview with PEOPLE in May 2024, Kelly revealed that she will be raising her son in the same way she was raised: on the road.
The “Shut Up” singer explained that her son comes from a musical family — his parents and maternal grandparents all work in the industry — so it’s only right that he experiences tour life.
“We were a musical family were always on tour, and I grew up on the road,” she told PEOPLE. “For me, that was a beautiful experience, and it’s one that I can also give to Sidney. He’ll get to travel the world, meet all sorts of people, get exposure to art and music and science and things he never would see if he wasn’t traveling the world.”
He attended a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony
On Oct. 19, 2024, Sidney attended his first Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Ceremony to celebrate his grandpa Ozzy’s induction. The Black Sabbath rocker was inducted as a solo artist in the 2024 class.
Twinning in a black dress and a tiny black suit and bowtie, the mother-son duo posed for a sweet photo during the ceremony.
Kelly posted a sweet Mother’s Day tribute in Sidney’s honor
To mark her second Mother’s Day, Kelly posted a loving tribute to Sidney. Sharing an Instagram carousel of photos, the mom-of-one wrote, “I love nothing more than being your mother! You are the single best thing to ever happen to me. Thank you for being my baby!”
In the first photo, Kelly smiles at the camera while Sidney is cradled in her arms. The second photo shows the tot trying to put a pacifier in his mouth while his mom hugs him, and the final photo captures Sidney crawling.
He watched his dad perform at Madison Square Garden
Sidney has rockstar blood in his veins, so it’s only fair that he rocked out at the famous Madison Square Garden before age 2.
On Aug. 14, 2024, Kelly posted an Instagram Reel holding Sidney up to his father onstage, who was performing with his band, Slipknot. Wilson climbed down to meet them and the family danced along to the band’s performance.
“Baby Sidney watching his daddy perform at #MadisonSquareGarden,” the proud mom wrote in the caption. “My heart is about to explode❤️🔥.”
It seems Sidney is already taking after his rocker father and grandpa. In November 2024, when celebrating Kelly’s 40th birthday, the toddler took a turn on the drum kit. Kelly posted a photo of the moment and wrote in the caption, “Special surprise performance baby Sidney 😍 I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️.”
Sidney enjoys snuggles with his grandpa
The toddler enjoys snuggling up with his grandpa Ozzy. In January 2024, Sidney made a surprise appearance on the Osbourne family’s podcast, which is hosted by Kelly, Ozzy, Sharon and Jack.
Sidney’s uncle Jack shared a behind-the-scenes video of the episode on Instagram, which sees Sidney snuggled on his grandpa’s lap who coos at him and says, “He’s a good boy!” and “Wow!”
In September 2023, grandmother Sharon shared another sweet moment between Ozzy and his then 9-month-old grandson.
“Two Peas in a Pod,” the former X Factor judge captioned a photo of her husband holding Sidney in his arms.
