Kelly Osbourne ends a brief romance

Kelly Osbourne has called time on a fledgling connection with British tattoo artist Brad North after learning more about his online adult work. The 41-year-old, daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, was reportedly spending time with 28-year-old North after the pair linked up online following her split from Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson.

The duo were photographed together at a restaurant launch in Manchester and later attended a Bon Jovi concert. But Kelly says she pulled back when friends brought certain aspects of Brad’s online activity to her attention.

What we know about Brad North’s content

Reports say Brad runs an OnlyFans account that charges about £10 a month and also sells underwear to subscribers. He is described as heavily tattooed and had been sharing content that Kelly’s circle found objectionable.

After learning more, Kelly publicly distanced herself from the situation and made it clear she does not condone any content or behavior that harms women.

“I won’t stand by or be linked to anyone who mistreats women – that’s not who I am,” Kelly wrote on Instagram, according to posts she shared.

Kelly’s Instagram reaction and the lesson learned

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kelly thanked friends who flagged the issue and admitted she felt a little foolish for not doing the digging herself. She said the experience was a humbling reminder to trust red flags and do the research before getting close to someone.

Kelly also reflected on patterns in her romantic life, saying some people arrive looking to take rather than give. She insisted the interaction with Brad was never a formal relationship, and that she’s closing the door on this chapter as she tightens up her boundaries.

Outside reaction and a source’s account

Despite Kelly’s position, a source speaking to The Sun painted a different early scene — saying the pair seemed very affectionate in public and that Kelly appeared happy in his company. That source added some friends had raised eyebrows over Brad’s adult work, though they suggested Kelly wasn’t bothered initially.

Kelly’s representative later denied the pair were romantically involved, calling their connection a close friendship and platonic. Brad North has been contacted for comment.

What’s next for Kelly

Kelly says she’s taking the episode as a clear lesson – do the research, trust the red flags, and set firmer boundaries. After the loss of her father Ozzy and her split from Sid Wilson, friends had hoped she’d be happy; now she appears ready to move forward more cautiously.

For now, Kelly has stepped away from whatever was developing with Brad and is focused on the next chapter with stricter standards for who she lets in.
