Sharon Osbourne has admitted to having a fling with US talk show host Jay Leno. Yes, Sharon Osbourne and Jay Leno hooked up.

The X Factor judge decided to give viewers of The Talk an insight into her dating history when she first moved to Los Angeles in the late 70s.

 

Sharon and Ozzy talking to Jay Leno back in 2004.

“Remember, at 25, I had met my husband but we weren’t together. We were just friends,” she explained. “So, I’m here, I didn’t have a boyfriend – I never did date a lot at that time anyway because I was not very dateable.”

Things soon changed when her friend introduced her to a guy (Leno) with whom she ended up having “a little fling” although it wasn’t meant to last. Soon after they got together he introduced her to his new squeeze.

Sharon recalled: “The fling was more of a fling for me and not fling enough for him because a couple of months later he brought around the real love of his life for me to meet, and she was lovely and they took me to Fatburger and showed me around town.”

The televison star with her hubby of over 30 years Ozzy Osbourne. 

Leno ended up marrying, his now wife, Mavis Nicholson in 1980 while Sharon settled down with her Black Sabbath beau Ozzy Osbourne two years later.

When asked by her co-hosts if her relationship with Leno was sexual, Sharon replied: “It was so long ago I can’t remember! One cannot remember that long ago.” (Indeed, we're sure one can't.)
