undergoing stem cell treatments

Sharon Osbourne

In the video, Wilson grabs Kelly Osbourne’s hand and says he loves her “more than anything in the universe,” mentioning that “nothing would bring me more joy than spending the rest of my life with you.”
When he pulls out the ring, he asks, “Kelly, in front of your family and all our friends, will you marry me?” She spins around, appearing stunned. Once she gives a nod, the two embrace while the people present in the room applaud.
