Earlier this week, it was reported that Kelly, 41, and Sid, 49, have called time on their romance just a few months after Sid popped the question to Kelly in front of her late dad Ozzy at his farewell gig in July last year. Kelly and Sid first met 27 years ago and share son Sidney, three, together.
Sadly, it has been reported Kelly has been “struggling” since the death of her beloved dad Ozzy, who died age 76 on July 22. But, now Kelly appears to have shed more light on the reasons behind her split from the Slipknot musician.

After attending a Lily Allen concert last night, Kelly shared a thought-provoking quote on her Instagram story. It read: “I am in love with this sentence: ‘Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time could teach’.” Earlier in the day, Kelly posted a video of herself getting a bright orange star tattoo on her ribs.
It comes after sources claimed to the Daily Mail that Kelly and Sid “decided to call off their engagement” as her grief has been “incredibly difficult” to cope with.
The source added that the two had been “facing challenges” for a while, but had now decided to break up. “They tried to make it work, particularly for the sake of their child,” they said. “But ultimately decided that separating is the best path forward.

“Kelly has endured a great deal over the past year. Despite everything, she remains sober and is now focusing on herself and her role as a mother moving ahead,” they added. Kelly and Sid were friends for years before they decided to start a relationship. They first met when Slipknot played at Ozzfest, a music festival founded by Kelly’s parents. In 2022, Kelly revealed their friendship had become romantic.
She shared a photo of the two kissing to her Instagram and said: “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.”
The pair then got engaged when Sid popped the question in front of Kelly’s dad, the Prince of Darkness, at his final concert just weeks before his death. Taking to Instagram to share the joyful news at the time, Kelly posted the sweet video of Sid’s proposal as he asked to spend the rest of his life with the former reality TV star.

Alongside the video, Kelly wrote: “Oh, and this happened yesterday.” In the heartwarming clip, Sharon is heard saying: “We’ve got to be quiet, hold on,” as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly’s now fiancé is then heard saying: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.”
However, Sid’s romantic proposal was swiftly interrupted by a playful Ozzy who shouted: “F*** off! You’re not marrying my daughter.” Clearly familiar with Ozzy’s banter, Sid laughs and continues asking Kelly the all-important question.
He continues: “Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?”. Kelly then turns around with a look of shock on her face before holding her hands up to her face and nodding ‘yes’.
