Jack Osbourne Opens Up About His Parents’ Marriage: It’s Not ‘Picture-Perfect’


The Osbourne family has been at the center of a media circus after Ozzy’s alleged affair with his hair stylist, Michelle Pugh, was made public. Now Jack, 30, is opening up about the drama, saying that he’s standing by his mom, Sharon, and his dad as they address the longtime infidelity that nearly destroyed their 34-year marriage.

“They’re working on it. You know, they’re trying to rein it in,” Jack told Sway in the Morning on Wednesday. “They’ve been together so long, and this isn’t their first rodeo. They don’t have this picture-perfect marriage, and they’ve never kind of claimed to, so they’re just trying to figure it out, I guess.”

The former reality star, who is married to Lisa Stelly and has two daughters of his own, Pearl, 4, and Andy, 1, says he’s staying neutral, lending his support to both Sharon and Ozzy.

“My take on it is like listen, whatever happens, my parents are still my parents — it’s not like they’re going to be like, ‘Well, do you want to go live with your dad or your mom?’” he said with a laugh. “So you kind of just support where you can and kind of focus on whatever I need to get done. I’ve got my own kids and my own marriage to work on.”

It appears the Black Sabbath frontman is working hard to battle his old demons. Ozzy opened up to People magazine this week about his longstanding sex addiction and revealed that he’s undergoing “intensive therapy” to address the problem. On Wednesday, Sharon got emotional on her daytime talk show, The Talk, admitting that the ordeal has been “quite embarrassing,” but that she’s “proud” of her husband for getting help.
