Jessica, who is an actress, reflected on having 'a very erratic childhood' with Ozzy in 2011.
'My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he'd be away for very long periods of time, and there'd always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it'd get to normality and then he'd go again,' she revealed in the documentary, 'God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.'

Kelly Clarkson says her ex-husband has been ill as she postpones Las Vegas concerts
Kelly Clarkson shared that she is postponing the remainder of her 'Studio Session' concerts in Las Vegas for August as her family faces a difficult chapter. In an Instagram post shared Wednesday, Aug. 6, the singer said that she was postponing the August shows so that she could support her children as their father and Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has been unwell. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' she wrote on Instagram. Clarkson and Blackstock divorced in March 2022, two years after announcing their separation. The couple shares two children: daughter River Rose, who was born in 2014, and son Remington Alexander, born in 2016. Clarkson lives with her children in New York City, where she also hosts her daytime talk show, 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' The singer seemingly addressed her ex-husband through her music a number of times, both on her 2023 songs 'Mine' and 'Me' and her talk show when she revised the lyrics to Olivia Rodrigo's song 'abcdefu' during one of the host's 2023 performances. 'Forget you and your dad / And the fact you got half and my broken heart / Turned that (expletive) into art,' she sang at the time, which seemed to be a reference to her divorce settlement in which she had to issue a one-time payment of over $1 million to her ex-husband, along with monthly spousal support (until Jan. 31, 2024) and child support payments that amounted to over $160K. In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in June 2023, the Grammy winner said the split, in the end, was 'freeing.' 'It's incredibly sad, and it's a dark place — fetal position on the floor crying — and there's so much loss with that, and I never experienced grief like that,' she said. 'We got to let each other go. This is not working. This is not going to pan out, and it's not working for either of us.' Clarkson made headlines earlier this year for her absences from her talk show. From late February through March, she stepped away occasionally. During that time, guest hosts including Simu Liu, Roy Wood Jr. and even TODAY's Willie Geist filled in.
