Sharon Rachel Osbourne (née Levy, later Arden; born 9 October 1952) is an English and American television personality, music manager, and author. She was married to heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne from 1982 until his death in 2025, and came to prominence while appearing on The Osbournes (2002–2005), a reality television show that aired on MTV, which followed her family's daily life.
