“The Osbournes” No More? Rumours Surface that Sharon and Ozzy Living Apart

If the rumours are to be believed, there is trouble in paradise for rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his celebrity wife Sharon. Long touted as one of Hollywood’s most enduring marriages, the online gossip world was abuzz this week amidst rumblings that the couple have been living separately.

According to sources close to the couple, the “Prince of Darkness” has moved into a rented mansion, and his wife has been living in a nearby hotel since the beginning of April, while her new own mansion is undergoing renovations. To add fuel to the fire, the past year has also seen the couple divest itself of two of its California properties.

The couple’s son Jack has also taken to Twitter to defend his parents’ 31-year marriage and to refute suggestions that their separation is a permanent state of affairs. Read More…
