The reports claimed that the couple were living in separate houses, had not seen each other for several weeks and were each seen not wearing their wedding rings.

They reportedly moved out of their California home and Ozzy allegedly rented a mansion while Sharon has been staying in a fancy hotel, which the tabs turned into speculation that they are splitting up.

Ozzy had been working on his first album with Black Sabbath since the late 70s and is now preparing for a tour with the band.

The Birmingham Mail contacted a spokesperson for Sharon to learn if there was any truth behind the reports and were told that Ozzy and Sharon "were still together" and added "They've both got huge work commitments."

The spokesperson explained there was an explanation why they were living at part at the moment, "She is at the hotel for work and he is starting his Black Sabbath tour. Of course they row but they are still together.
