Sharon-and-Ozzy-OsbourneWell, this isn’t great news to wake up to on Mother’s Day. According to E! Online, after more than 33 years of marriage, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have split up. A source tells them that the couple have agreed for him to temporarily move out of their house, adding that their separation has nothing to do with Ozzy’s sobriety, as he’s been sober for over three years now. This isn’t the first time that there have been rumors that the two were getting divorced. Back in 2013, Sharon denied that they’d split up on The Talk. The couple have three children, Aimee, 32, Kelly, 31 and Jack, 30.

There’s been no official confirmation from the Osbourne family, but if this is true, it may be troubling. Ozzy, 67, is managed by his wife, 63, and in addition to managing his solo career and Black Sabbath, she appeared to be more or less a babysitter and mother to him. Without her to keep him in line, here’s hoping Ozzy can keep himself together as Black Sabbath’s final tour continues. It’ll also be interesting to see if their split has any ramifications for her management of Ozzy and Sabbath. Stay tuned.
