The shock news comes after reports surfaced accusing Ozzy of having an affair with celebrity hair stylist Michelle Pugh.
A furious Sharon discovered evidence that the aging rocker was cheating on her last week, and confronted him.
“Sharon went ballistic,” a source said. “She said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof. People are wondering whether Sharon went through Ozzy’s phone before accusing him,” the insider continued. “She’s done that before but in the past she was checking if he’d been using drugs.”
Unfortunately for the sake of their marriage, Ozzy couldn’t deny the affair, admitting that he and Michelle, 45, had been close.
Following the distressing confrontation the 63-year-old wife and mother kicked Ozzy out of the $13.5 million Beverly Hills Mansion they share together.
The Prince of Darkness is said to have gone missing following the split, which some feared meant he had spiralled back into his drug and alcohol addiction. He has since gotten in contact with his children to assure them he is safe and well, and is holed up in a Los Angeles hotel.
In a desperate attempt to win Sharon back, the 67-year-old send a card and flowers to his wife apologising for his behaviour.
But it seems the struggles the pair have faced through their long, difficult marriage have finally taken their toll and Sharon has finally had enough.
The shock split comes after Ozzy denied rumours their relationship was on the rocks back in April 2013.
At the time he took to Facebook to assure fans the pair were “not divorcing” and but that the couple were on shaky ground following his slip back into drugs and booze.
He said he had since sobered up. Sharon also addressed the rumours at the time saying, “We are not getting divorced. Am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes I am. I’m devastated right now. We’re dealing with it.”
It’s not the first time Ozzy has been caught cheating on Sharon but it may be the last straw for the distressed wife.
Previously Sharon has spoken out on her heartbreak when she caught Ozzy in bed with not one, but two of the nannies the couple used to take care of their children Jack, Kelly and Aimee.
She took him back after that indiscretion but it doesn’t look likely this time.
