Is Kelly Osbourne Moving On? Mystery LA Barber Comforts Star After Sid Wilson Split

Kelly Osbourne, 41, was pictured with Los Angeles-based hairdresser Kiinicki earlier this week in London, spending time together at the Broadwick Hotel in Soho and at Lily Allen's afterparty at The London Palladium — the latest sightings fuelling speculation about the nature of their close friendship, coming just days after her split from Slipknot DJ and keyboardist Sid Wilson was made public.

The news came after a turbulent stretch for the Fashion Police host. Osbourne and Wilson, who first crossed paths in 1999 when Slipknot began touring with Ozzfest, only started dating in 2022, with their son Sidney Jr. born in November that year.

The pair's engagement followed last July, when Wilson, 49, got down on one knee backstage at Ozzy Osbourne's final concert with Black Sabbath at Villa Park, Birmingham — a moment that should have been a high point but was overshadowed almost immediately. Seventeen days later, Ozzy died from a heart attack on 22 July 2025, at the age of 76.

Sources told the Daily Mail that Kelly has since left the Iowa farmstead she shared with Wilson — a 100-acre property — and relocated to London to be close to her mother Sharon and the wider family as they mourn. Sidney Jr. has reportedly been enrolled in an English school. The split from Wilson, insiders said, had been building for some time before it became public.​

'In truth, she and Sid have been facing challenges in their relationship for some time, and things were not as they appeared,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'They tried to make it work, particularly for the sake of their child, but ultimately decided that separating is the best path forward.'​

TMZ, citing sources with direct knowledge, reported that the couple had actually parted ways more than a month before the story broke publicly, and that a reconciliation had not been ruled out entirely.​

Kiinicki Steps Into Kelly Osbourne's World

Into this difficult chapter has stepped Kiinicki — the 37-year-old non-binary hairdresser who uses and identifies publicly as queer. Kiinicki, who is Los Angeles-based and affiliated with the salon Hella Good Hair and grooming brand STMNT, flew to London to be at Kelly's side, a detail that insiders say speaks volumes about the closeness of their bond.

At the afterparty following Lily Allen's show at The London Palladium, witnesses said the pair were barely separable. 'They were all over each other all night and were hardly trying to hide it — taking selfies on Kelly's massive tripod with this really bright backlight,' a source told the Daily Mail.

'It was very clear that Kelly and her pal share a close friendship, even wearing matching crochet beanies; I mean, they were hardly subtle about it and were chatting with Lily together.'​

One insider went further still: 'You can tell Kelly relies on them as they never left her side, and if they ever did, Kelly would follow... It's just great to see a smile back on her face.'​

The public closeness was not confined to the afterparty. Earlier in the same week, the pair were spotted out on the streets of London doing what any tourist might — wandering around, wearing matching hats and sporting matching tattoos of a crescent moon with a tooth.

Kelly also shared a video of herself being inked and tagged Kiinicki in the post. Kiinicki reposted it to their Stories, alongside a mirror selfie featuring Kelly and a third friend, and Lily Allen's own post from the afterparty captioned 'Find us.'​

The Kelly Osbourne and Kiinicki Bond, Explained

Kiinicki's real name has not been disclosed publicly. The precise nature of their relationship with Osbourne remains undefined — though sources quoted by the Daily Mail describe the hairdresser as having become a 'shoulder to cry on' for Kelly, particularly since Ozzy's death.

'Kelly has been struggling following the loss of her father,' one source said. 'The grieving process has been incredibly difficult, and she's been doing everything she can to cope. Despite everything, she remains sober and is now focusing on herself and her role as a mother.'​

For her part, Osbourne has previously spoken openly about not wanting to define her sexuality along conventional lines. Speaking to PrideSource in 2017, she said: 'I'm open to loving anybody. It's about the person. I don't think it's about sexuality at all.' She went on: 'My whole rule is, never say never. I've never been in a relationship with a woman, but I don't know that it's not a possibility.'​

Before Wilson, she was engaged twice — first to English model-DJ Luke Worrall, then to chef Matthew Mosshart. Whether Kiinicki represents a new chapter or simply the comfort of a trusted friend, those closest to Kelly appear to agree on one thing: after one of the hardest years of her life, she is, at the very least, smiling again.
