Zac Brown's planning on having wedding bells ring in his future ... because he announced his engagement to Kendra Scott in late July 2025.

The singer and the jewelry designer moved pretty quickly with their relationship -- they only dated for a few months before he popped the big question!

We're going to take a look at the background of the performer's future wife and see how she's made a name for herself over the years.

Brown's fiancée is a jewelry designer who founded her company -- called Kendra Scott, in case you were wondering -- in 2002, while she was on leave from work after giving birth to her first son, according to Forbes.

Scott's business ended up taking off, as her company was given a valuation of $1 billion in 2016 ... not bad for an at-home project with a $500 budget, right?

The jewelry designer's since provided guidance to burgeoning entrepreneurs through various appearances on the reality television series "Shark Tank," and she's been featured on the show a total of nine times so far.

Scott's also been involved with various philanthropic efforts over the years, and she helped establish the Kendra Scott Foundation in 2023.

The entrepreneur's personal life has also been all over the place, and she's a mom to two sons named Cade and Beck, whom she welcomed in 2001 and 2004, respectively ... and she shares her eldest children with her first husband, John Scott.

Scott welcomed a third son named Grey in 2013, and she married his father, Matt Davis, the following year, although they ended up divorcing in 2020.

The jewelry designer waited two years before tying the knot with Thomas Evans, although the two ultimately went their separate ways.

Oh, and by the way, her future fourth husband's got a history of his own ... he's been married twice and shares four children with his first wife, Shelly Brown -- and it's worth noting she's also a jewelry designer

Scott and Brown made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 American Music Awards ceremony in Las Vegas that May.

A source spoke to People at the time and revealed the singer and the entrepreneur had been "set up by a mutual friend" a few months before the event and were "totally in love."

The two are apparently "head over heels" for each other and have "become inseparable" over the length of their romance.

Kelly Osbourne is speaking out for the first time publicly about her father Ozzy Osbourne's death ... and she's using some Black Sabbath lyrics to express herself.

Ozzy's daughter just posted on social media for the first time since he died Tuesday and she's quoting the Black Sabbath song "Changes."

Kelly's post reads ... "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I've lost the best friend I ever had." She includes a broken heart emoji.

Lou Diamond Phillips is remembering Malcolm-Jamal Warner as a dear friend ... telling us the late 'Cosby Show' star was a kind and sweet man.

We got Lou in New York City on Thursday and our photog asked him about Ozzy Osbourne's death ... and after praising the late Black Sabbath rocker for being on the cutting edge of media, he revealed his friendship with Malcolm-Jamal.

Lou says he and MJW used to hang out ... telling us the guy "just generated love" and characterizing his death as a big shock and a huge loss.

Travis Kelce is finally giving his six-million-plus Instagram followers a glimpse into his relationship with Taylor Swift ... sharing for the first time a bunch of sweet photos of him and his boo.

The Chiefs' tight end dropped a carousel on the social media app on Thursday afternoon ... and Taylor was prominent in almost all of the new snaps.

In one, the couple appeared on a boat. In another, they were at a fancy restaurant. Others showed them loved up in the snow and on an ice rink.

Ozzy Osbourne's fanbase was left shocked when his death was announced in July 2025, and his family issued a statement at the time to let the fans know they were experiencing "more sadness than mere words can convey."

What's even more poignant is the fact that the late singer's death happened just 17 days after his final concert ... which he undertook with the other original members of Black Sabbath, 20 years after all four had last been on stage together.

We're going to check out what the band's surviving members have had to say about the frontman's death and see what they have been up to in the years since the Prince of Darkness left the band following their set at Ozzfest 2005.

Black Sabbath's guitarist and longest serving member, Tony Iommi, remained with the band throughout all of its lineup changes over nearly six decades.

In addition to his work with the seminal heavy metal outfit, Iommi released three solo albums, and he recorded the Black Sabbath album, "Heaven and Hell," which featured Osbourne's replacement singer, Ronnie James Dio, after Ozzy left the band.

Iommi shared a post on his Instagram shortly after Ozzy's passing and confessed he was unable to "really find the words" to portray how sad he was about the singer's death.

The guitarist affectionately referred to the singer as his "brother," and described the experience of finding out he'd died as "heartbreaking."

Geezer Butler stuck with Black Sabbath for much of its run, barring departures from the band throughout the mid-'80s and early 1990s.

The bassist released three solo albums through his work with GZR, which went through several name changes, and he also laid down bass parts on Osbourne's 1995 solo album "Ozzmosis."

Butler's tribute to Ozzy, which he shared on his Instagram, was short and sweet, and he referred to the late singer as his "dear friend" in the post's caption.

The musician also summed up the band's members as "4 kids from Aston" and said he was "glad we got to do it one last time."

Drummer Bill Ward co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and remained with the band until 1980, after which he was intermittently involved with the group over the next few decades.

The musician was originally set to reunite with the band in 2011 in preparation of the recording of their final album, titled "13," and although he ended up not participating due to contract disputes, he eventually reconciled with his bandmates and performed at their final concert.

Ward shared a throwback photo on his Instagram after Ozzy had passed away and opened up about the loss he felt after the singer's death, saying the singer was "forever in my heart."
