When Sid Wilson took the plunge to propose to Kelly Osbourne last year, her father, the iconic Ozzy Osbourne, humorously retorted, “You’re not actually planning to marry my daughter, are you?”
Amid the laughter from those gathered backstage at what marked Ozzy’s final Black Sabbath performance, Kelly Osbourne, momentarily stunned, embraced her new fiancé, signaling her acceptance of the proposal.
Fast forward seven months, and Ozzy’s quip might now sting for Wilson, 49, as his four-year romance with Osbourne, 41, has quietly come to an end amidst increasing rumors surrounding her connection with non-binary hairstylist Kiinicki.
Despite the setback, Slipknot DJ Wilson isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet.
“Though Kelly and Sid have decided to call off their engagement, they haven’t completely closed the chapter on their relationship,” a source revealed to the Daily Mail.
The couple, who are parents to three-year-old Sidney Jr, reportedly faced challenges following the passing of rock legend Ozzy in July, which occurred mere days after Wilson’s proposal.

The news came amid growing speculation over her relationship with 37-year-old non-binary hairdresser Kiinicki (pictured together on Instagram)
Osbourne started divulging to friends ‘about a week ago’ that she and Wilson had split, according to a second insider who added that Ozzy’s ‘death has a lot to do with it.’ They insisted there was ‘no third party involved.’
‘Ozzy was Kelly’s best friend,’ they said. ‘They had such a special bond. Friends have been trying to help Kelly.’
One such friend is Kiinicki, 37. The California native is based in Los Angeles, but they recently flew to the UK to support Osbourne and her son.
‘Close friends have been speculating about Kiinicki as they don’t know exactly what’s going right now,’ the insider said.
Kiinicki has clearly been a rock for Osbourne, with the TV personality recently sharing a picture of them both in bed together with her son, all wearing diapers on their heads. The snap, which was posted to her 4.4 million followers on Instagram, also showcased their matching tattoos – a crescent half moon with a tooth – which they got during Valentine’s Day weekend.
They were also tagged in a lengthy Instagram post by Amy Putney Koenig, a death doula, who wrote in her caption that she was ‘delighted and honored to spend a little time with you getting tattooed, having milkshakes and talking about life stuff and sharing my Shapeshifter book.’
Koenig’s websites says she ‘uses art to spark conversations around loss and transformation’ as a death doula and artist.
Osbourne also shared pictures of her and Kiinicki out and about, which she set to the Lily Allen song Pussy Palace. It came as the pair were spotted together at the exclusive after-party for Allen’s London Palladium gigs at the Broadwick Hotel in Soho last Sunday.
‘They were all over each other all night and were hardly trying to hide it,’ one partygoer told the Daily Mail.
But Slipknot DJ Wilson, 49, isn’t giving up on their relationship. ‘Kelly and Sid have called off their engagement, but they haven’t shut the door on the relationship,’ an insider told the Daily Mail

According to a LinkedIn profile presumably belonging to the hair stylist – the profile has them identified as Kindra ‘Kiinicki’ Talley – they attended the University of Phoenix and have worked at Westwind Recovery, an addiction treatment center in Los Angeles.
They were previously quite active on X, sharing their dislike for Donald Trump, as well as stills from the movie Grease, in which Jeff Conaway played high school student Kenickie Murdoch.
While the status of their relationship is unclear, in 2017, Osbourne said in an interview with PrideSource that she was ‘open to loving anybody.’ The Fashion Police host did not define her sexuality at the time, but said you ‘can’t put a gender on love’ in the open interview.
‘You know my honest opinion? Everybody’s gay,’ she said. ‘It is a strictly human thing.’
Osbourne and Wilson started dating in 2022 and welcomed their son in November 2023.
During her father’s farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham, UK, Wilson popped the question with a diamond ring worth an estimated $600,000. Osbourne was last seen wearing the band at a pre-Grammy’s event on January 31.
For now, Wilson is said to be giving his estranged fiancée some ‘distance’ as it has become apparent that she is struggling to juggle everything with her ongoing grief.
‘Now is not the time for Kelly to put effort into a wedding and be present in a relationship when she is still dealing with her dad’s death,’ our first insider said.

‘Sid realized the relationship was on the backburner, and now is the time for her to focus on getting healthy, being the best mom she can be – and he will support her when he is needed.’
This is Osbourne’s third broken engagement, after being engaged to chef Matthew Mosshard and model Luke Worrall.
But unlike Mosshard and Worrall, Wilson’s decision to give her space is believed to be why close friends think ‘they might get back together once she deals with everything because he continues to be a great support.’
‘But,’ they added, ‘as of right now, Kelly is trying to figure everything else out and there is no time to nurture a relationship she finds no need for right now, and Sid totally gets that.’
