Kelly Osbourne is said to have grown close to tattooed model Brad North after the pair were seen together at a hotel launch in Manchester.
The 41-year-old television personality reportedly met North, 28, online and has been on a number of dates with him in recent months, following the end of her relationship with former Slipknot member Sid Wilson.
Osbourne and Wilson, 49, called off their romance in March and share a three-year-old son, Sidney. North, who also works as a tattoo artist, is an OnlyFans creator using the name Uglynorth on the subscription platform.
The pair were photographed at the Manchester event, with North reportedly waiting near the door while Osbourne posed for photographs. She wore a black dress with sheer lace panels, while North was dressed casually in a baseball cap.
A further photograph is said to show North with his arm around Osbourne’s waist as they looked at one another.
“There were hundreds of people around them but that didn’t seem to bother Kelly,” a source said. “They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Kelly is clearly really happy with him.”
The source added that Osbourne was unconcerned about North’s adult-content work, although the relationship had reportedly prompted questions among some of her friends.
“She’s been through so much with Ozzy dying and her split from Sid, so it’s lovely to see her smiling again,” the source said.
Osbourne and North are also said to have attended a Bon Jovi concert together, where they posed closely for a photograph.
North reportedly charges subscribers £10 to access content on his OnlyFans page, with more explicit material available at a higher cost. He is also said to make money from selling used underwear to fans.
The reported relationship comes as Osbourne’s brother Jack said she was in a happier place after her split from Wilson.
“Kelly’s living her country life. You know, she’s living out by the house and she’s just doing her thing, being a mum,” he said.
“She’s in a happier place and she’s got a good routine going. She’s focusing on her and her son.”
In August, Osbourne appeared to criticise Wilson in a series of Instagram posts after he was removed from Slipknot. She wrote: “I can’t protect you from yourself anymore.”
She also said: “Wake the f**k up and take some responsibility. I will not take your s**t anymore. I’m done.
“I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal.”
