Sharon Osbourne has revealed the secret to a long and happy marriage as she and Ozzy prepare to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

The couple have infamously had their ups and downs, since tying the knot on July 4, 1982, but the Talk TV star insists that she loves her rocker other half “more now than ever”.

Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine on Monday, she said: “I love him more now than ever, I respect him. I do.”

When asked about her declaration by show host Lorraine Kelly, Osbourne elaborated: “Because we all change, constantly, constantly evolving and he has evolved into a really great guy; he’s a good guy.”

This year also marks the arrival of two new members of the Osbourne clan as their children Jack and Kelly are both expecting babies.

The proud grandmother-to-be gushed: “Two new members in one year, can you believe! First baby for Kelly and it’ll be Jack’s fourth.”

When asked if she had ever expected her daughter to have a baby, Osbourne admitted she had not.

“No! I wasn’t sure because Kelly was never big on getting married,” she explained. “I’d say to her ‘why don’t you want to get married?’ and she was like, ‘I don’t want to get divorced’.

“So she has like always been doing her own thing, so no, I didn’t, but she felt it was the right time and she’s ready for it.”

Kelly Osbourne, 37, announced the happy news last month that she is set to become a mother for the first time with Slipknot musician boyfriend Sid Wilson.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a scan picture, writing: “I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why.

“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!”
