Kelly Osbourne has welcomed her first baby, but says she’s “not ready to share him with the world”
Congratulations are in order for Kelly Osbourne! The former reality TV star quietly welcomed her first child, a boy, with her boyfriend, Sid Wilson. The announcement came from her mom, Sharon Osbourne, who shared the happy news about her new grandson on the British chat show The Talk this week.
Sharon also revealed that the new baby boy is named Sidney, and that Kelly is doing, “so great, so great.”
According to Sharon, Kelly is enjoying motherhood, but she’s being fiercely protective of her little one.
“She won’t let a picture go out of him, and I’m so proud of her,” she said.
After Sharon broke the news, Kelly posted a statement to her Instagram story, writing, “I am not ready to share him with the world. It is no one’s place but mine to share any information on my baby.”
And she’s absolutely right! As a mom, it’s totally up to her to decide when (or even if) she’s comfortable sharing any photos of her baby publicly. Being a new mom is already hard enough. Being a new mom in the public eye comes with a whole other set of challenges that Kelly already seems to be navigating with plenty of grace.
Kelly announced her pregnancy back in May of last year, when she posted a photo of herself holding a sonogram print out.
“I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why,” she wrote in the caption. “I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma. To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic!”
Kelly has previously opened up about her desire to have kids, but how she’s felt “behind” in her life because of her struggles with substance abuse.
“I would have loved to have kids by now, but that wasn’t in the cards for me,” she said during an appearance on Red Table Talk in 2021. “I would have been no kind of mother at all. 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.”
Last month, Kelly celebrated one year sober—and now she has a new family member to celebrate with. Congrats to the whole Osbourne family!
