Unlucky-in-love Kelly Osbourne has finally landed herself a nice new boyfriend — New York photographer and visual artist Anton Lombardi.
Rocker Ozzy‘s 26-year-old daughter has known handsome, long-haired Lombardi for years, but friends say they just recently started dating seriously.
The E! “Fashion Police” star and new face of Madonna and Lourdes Leon’s Material Girl fashion line — who went through a painful split with former fiancé Luke Worrall last year — and 25-year-old Lombardi have been spotted together in New York holding hands over the past few days and at the Met ball after-party at Kenmare.
A source told us: “Kelly and Anton have known each other for a long time, but their relationship became more serious a week ago. Things happened naturally. They became close in New York but have now headed to LA together.”
The source added: “Kelly’s friends are really happy for them — he’s a really good, very talented guy.”
Another source told us that Lombardi has “no aspirations” to be a musician or a rocker like Kelly’s dad, whose demons she speaks movingly about in her brother Jack‘s new documentary, “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.”
Late last year, after splitting with Worrall, Kelly went off on her former fiancé on Twitter, calling him “the biggest piece of [bleep],” and saying he was “the worst thing that ever happened to me . . . I have never felt heartbreak like this in my life. I only came home for Christmas to see him, meanwhile he has been [bleep]ing hundreds of girls as well as men behind my back.”
She reportedly called off her engagement with model Worrall after she found out he was having a secret affair with a woman who used to be a man. According to British press reports, she discovered he was cheating with Elle Schneider, who started life as Reynaldo Gonzalez and whom he met in a New York club. She was later linked to British rocker Rob Damiani.
A rep for Kelly and Lombardi, reached by e-mail, declined to comment.
