Jack Osbourne has shared a deeply personal revelation about his father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, admitting he never knew him sober until recent years.
In an emotional interview, the 38-year-old TV personality confessed that growing up, his father's battle with addiction was a constant presence in their family life. "I didn't realise until I was older that I'd never actually seen my dad sober," Jack revealed.
A Family's Journey Through Addiction
The Osbourne family became household names through their reality show The Osbournes, which famously documented their chaotic family life. While the show portrayed their unconventional dynamic with humour, Jack now reflects on the darker realities behind the scenes.
"We normalised so much that wasn't normal," he admitted. "When your baseline is chaos, you don't realise how abnormal it is until you step away."
Ozzy's Road to Recovery
Ozzy Osbourne, now 75, has been open about his decades-long struggle with substance abuse. Jack credits his father's commitment to sobriety in recent years with transforming their relationship.
"Seeing my dad sober has been incredible," Jack shared. "I'm getting to know him in a way I never did before." The father-of-three described how their bond has strengthened through shared experiences of parenthood and Ozzy's health battles.
The Impact on Future Generations
Jack, who has been sober himself for over 15 years, spoke about breaking the cycle of addiction for his own children. "I want my kids to have a different experience," he said. "I'm grateful my dad's sobriety means they get to know the real him."
The Osbourne family's journey continues to resonate with fans worldwide, offering both cautionary tales and hope for families affected by addiction.
