Ozzy Osbourne has found one rumor regarding his alleged split from wife Sharon Osbourne important enough to publicly refute.

As reports are circulating like wildfire about the couple's alleged breakup following 33 years of marriage, some sources have claimed Sharon was fed up with Ozzy's substance abuse issues while others have insisted the heavy metal rocker had been cheating on her.

While Ozzy did not slam speculation of infidelity, he did make it known he's not struggling with an addiction of any kind.

"I have been sober for three and a quarter years," Ozzy, 67, told E! News on Saturday evening. "I have not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Any reports that I am not sober are completely inaccurate."

Ozzy and Sharon, who previously served as a judge on America's Got Talent, reportedly mutually agreed to part ways. A source told the website Ozzy has moved out of their house and is currently living with a family member. 

Ozzy, however, was spotted Monday morning visiting an office building near Los Angeles with his wedding ring still on.

The Sun of London reported infidelity is the cause of their separation, that Sharon, 63, believes her husband had been unfaithful with a 45-year-old celebrity stylist named Michelle Pugh.

"Sharon went ballistic with Ozzy and accused him of having the affair," an insider told the newspaper. "[Sharon] said she had suspected something had been going on for some time and now had proof."

"I don't know how much more she can take," a source told People. "It just weighs you down. Sharon has been pretty down."

Despite the fact Ozzy released a statement, Sharon has yet to break her silence. She was notably absent from The Talk on Monday, prompting her co-host Julie Chen to address the situation for viewers.

"As we get started, Sharon is not here today. There were many tabloid headlines of her and Ozzy, rumors and speculations that they have split up after nearly 34 years of marriage," Chen explained, according to E! News. "Sharon understandably took today off and we are sending all of our love to her and to her family. And we ask that you do the same."

Divorce rumors have plagued Ozzy and Sharon since 2013, but Sharon even admitted at times she had considered leaving her spouse when marriage felt like a burden she could no longer carry. Around the time of their wedding anniversary in July 2014, for example, they got into a huge fight.

Sharon and Ozzy met in the early 1970s when he was a member of the band Black Sabbath. The pair wed on July 4, 1982 and later welcomed three children -- Aimee Osbourne, 32, Kelly Osbourne, 31, and Jack Osbourne, 30.
