Louis Osbourne & Jessica Osbourne
The oldest children of Ozzy from his marriage to Thelma, Louis and Jessica, did not spend much time with their father, who was often away on tour.
“My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he’d be away for very long periods of time, and there’d always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it’d get to normality and then he’d go again,” Jessica said in the 2011 documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. “So, it was a very erratic childhood with dad.”
When he was home, he frequently visited pubs.
“When he was around and he wasn’t drunk, he was a great father,” Louis added. “But that was kind of seldom really.”
After Ozzy and Thelma separated, he maintained contact with his children. In fact, there was an episode of The Osbournes where Ozzy received a call informing him that Jessica had given birth and he was a grandfather for the first time. Louis also mentioned that he sees Aimee, Kelly, and Jack sporadically.
“I don’t travel half as much as I used to and they are in America,” he told Birmingham Live in 2012. “There is more chance of us seeing each other in a random New York hotel than us all getting round a table for a Sunday lunch. We meet on special occasions.”
He and his father made it a point to check in regularly.
“Dad usually calls on a Sunday afternoon for a catch-up and when he comes over to the UK we take the kids down,” Louis added. “Dad is great, very much a doting grandad.”
Little information has been shared publicly about Louis and Jessica’s brother Elliot.
