Thelma is the ex-wife of the famous British musician and the lead vocalist of “Black Sabbath”, a hard rock and heavy metal band. He is one of the best-selling musicians of all time having sold over 100 million albums worldwide. He and his band hold a cult-like following among the fans of heavy metal.
Ozzy was born in Warwickshire, England to a working-class family in 1948. His birth name was John Michael Osbourne and he was a middle child in a family of six children. He quit school at the age of 15 and went on to do odd jobs like construction worker and slaughterhouse employee.
He was sexually abused as a child in school and even attempted suicide several times and later on these things impacted his music and his career. He formed his first band in 1967, but it did not work out, he later went through a few other bands and band names eventually settling down on Black Sabbath.
His band saw quick success and was signed by Warner Bros. Records and in no time, they were world famous. It was while he was performing at a nightclub called Rum Runner in Birmingham in 1971 that he met Thema Riley his first and now ex-wife.
Thelma was working at the club at the time, but quickly fell in love with each other and got married shortly after. Their marriage lasted for almost 11 years when it ended in 1982 with a divorce. Thelma had to struggle in her marriage with Ozzy due to his alcohol and drug addiction which caused friction between the couple.
His constant absence from the household due to his constant traveling with the band took a toll on Thelma and the couple eventually separated.
Together with Ozzy, she had two children a daughter named Jessica Starshine born in 1972, and a son named Luis John who was born in 1975. While Thelma was there for her children, her husband was seldom present and was an absentee father.
Luis John now Luis Osborne is a musician like his father and resides in the UK. However, he has not seen the level of success his father has and is relatively unknown. Jessica Osborne on the other hand is an actress and works in the showbiz industry but she as well has not reached the level of fame as her father.
Through her two children, Thelma has five grandchildren. Her son Luis has two children Maia a girl and Elijah a boy while her daughter Jessica has three children of her own and their names are Kitty a girl, Harry a boy and Isabelle another girl.
Thelma Riley can now be found living in Leicestershire, England where she works as a school teacher. Which involves her taking school trips all around the country and with her pupils and teaching them in the process.
In her spare time, she does the usual stuff, spending time with her grandchildren, hosting and attending parties, shopping with friends, and all in all having a good time. Overall, she likes to stay out of the limelight and spend her time enjoying herself in peace.
