SLIPKNOT's SID WILSON Isn't Bothered By Increased Media Attention As A Result Of His Relationship With KELLY OSBOURNE

August 31, 2022

Sidney George Wilson, better known as the mask-wearing turntablist for heavy metal group SLIPKNOT, says that he doesn't mind the media attention he has been receiving after it was revealed that he and Kelly Osbourne, the 37-year-old daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, are expecting their first child together. "I don't know. It doesn't bother me at all," Sid told Knotfest at this month's Knotfest Finland festival. "It's just part of my life. I love her to death. It's just the path I'm meant to be on, so there's no awkwardness about anything like that. It's like it was just always happening. [Laughs]"

This past February, Kelly said that she was "deeply in love" with Wilson. For Valentine's Day, Kelly shared several photos on Instagram of her and Wilson, and she captioned the post: "After 23 years of friendship I can't believe where we have ended up! You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson."

Sid also shared one of the same photos on his Instagram and wrote: "There is not enough colours to display the palette of Love I have for you in my Heart. Happy Valentines Day my Love XoXo".

In January, a source told People that Osbourne and Wilson, who is eight years her senior, recently took their relationship to the next level after more than two decades of knowing each other.

"Kelly and Sid met when his band was touring with Ozzfest in 1999," said the source, referring to the music festival founded by her parents. "They have remained friends since. They are very happy together."

In late January, Osbourne revealed that she carries around a big pillow of Wilson when she travels. Kelly shared a photo on Instagram Story of herself posing with a large, screen-printed pillow of Wilson's face, and she captioned it: "Everywhere I go I take my baby with me." She also shared a quote on her Story, tagging Wilson on the slide.

"&& so there's this boy, And the way he laughs makes me smile, And the way he talks gives me butterflies, And everything about him, makes me happy," the quote read.

Kelly split from her cinematographer boyfriend Erik Bragg last October after one year together.

Kelly previously discussed her desire to have children on a June 2021 episode of "Red Table Talk". At the time, she said: "I feel very behind. As a woman, I would have loved to be married and have children by now. My brother [Jack] has three daughters and I would have loved to have kids by now, but that wasn't what was in the cards for me yet."

"I would have been no kind of mother at all," she added. "Because I was that crazy addict that was like, 'Oh yeah, I'll stop doing drugs when I get pregnant because I have to.' Like, that's insane that I would ever even think that."
