Kelly Osbourne has opened up about her estranged relationship with her older sister, Aimee Osbourne. The singer revealed that she does not believe the pair will reconcile.
The television personality discussed their complicated relationship on Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast. Reflecting on their childhood and the dynamics within the Osbourne family, Kelly explained that she had long struggled with the absence of a close relationship with her older sibling.
Her comments, reported by PEOPLE, offer a personal insight into a family rift that has remained largely private over the years.
Kelly Osbourne on Her Relationship With Aimee
During the podcast conversation, Kelly said she had never experienced the kind of supportive relationship she associated with having an older sister.
'I never got a big sister,' she said, explaining that she had to learn certain things independently rather than receiving guidance from Aimee.
Kelly also acknowledged that she still carries resentment about their relationship.
'I do have a resentment there. I'll have that forever,' she reportedly said.
Her remarks suggest that the distance between the sisters has had a lasting emotional impact. However, Kelly did not publicly detail every incident that contributed to their estrangement, and her account represents her own perspective on their relationship.
Aimee Chose a Different Path From Her Siblings
Aimee Osbourne, the eldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, has historically maintained a more private public profile than her younger siblings.
Unlike Kelly and Jack Osbourne, Aimee did not take part in the family's MTV reality series, The Osbournes, which premiered in 2002 and ran until 2005.
Aimee explained that she wanted to protect her privacy and avoid having her personal life exposed through reality television. Her decision allowed her to pursue a career away from the intense public attention surrounding her family.
During the recent podcast discussion, Kelly acknowledged that she could not tell Aimee's entire story because she did not want to speak on her sister's behalf.
Kelly also suggested that she had sometimes felt Aimee was embarrassed by their family. This, however, was Kelly's interpretation and should not be treated as a confirmed statement of Aimee's feelings.
'Oil and Water'
Kelly described herself and Aimee as very different personalities, reportedly comparing them to 'oil and water'.
The comparison reflected Kelly's view that their differences had contributed to the distance between them. Nevertheless, the precise reasons for their estrangement have not been fully explained publicly by both sisters.
Aimee has previously discussed her decision to remain outside The Osbournes and the importance of maintaining her independence. Those earlier comments provide context for the sisters' different approaches to family life and public attention, but they do not necessarily explain the current state of their relationship.
Kelly Says Reconciliation Is Unlikely
When asked whether she believed there was any possibility of repairing their relationship, Kelly reportedly answered, 'No'.
She explained that being related does not automatically mean two people must maintain a close personal connection. Kelly also spoke about the importance of surrounding herself with people who accept her rather than expecting her to change.
Her comments indicate that she currently regards the separation as an established boundary.
The sisters' relationship has reportedly been distant for years. Kelly previously discussed their lack of communication during a 2021 appearance on Armchair Expert.
Aimee's perspective on Kelly's latest remarks has not been included in the reports cited here.
For now, Kelly's comments highlight the complicated nature of family relationships, particularly when childhood experiences, contrasting personalities and public scrutiny become intertwined.
