She told PEOPLE in May about Sidney and Ozzy's relationship, gushing that they are "best friends."
"So, favorite time of the day is nighttime because [Sidney] leaves me and gets in bed with my mom and dad because I'm staying in their house right now while my house is getting ready," she said at the time." "And he goes and gets in bed with them and they have cartoon time together and it is the sweetest thing ever. I have to literally rip him out."
