SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSES

One fan wrote that they're sweet and that she's thankful to both of them. Another added that Debbie must be a great lady, adding that she can't envision how hard it would be to have so many women in love with her husband.

Another person commented that Osmond, who initially achieved fame performing with four of his elder brothers as the Osmonds, is a fortunate man.

Before they had a relationship, Debbie first dated Osmond's older brother Jay.

A BIG FAMILY

Osmond and Debbie tied the knot in the Salt Lake Temple in May 1978. As reported by Closer Weekly, together, they have five sons — Donald Clark, Jeremy James, Brandon Michael, Christopher Glenn, and Joshua Davis.

In 2005, the couple, who met as a teenager, first became grandparents, and now have ten grandchildren — nine boys and one girl.

Before they had a relationship, Debbie first dated Osmond's older brother Jay. The entertainer once shared in a Facebook post that it took him three entire years to win Debbie's heart and convince her to wed him.

In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, Osmond revealed that his father George didn't want him to pursue a relationship with Debbie because he assumed it would ruin his career.

Although his father was right about his career after he got married, he has no regrets because, for him, Debbie is a fantastic person to be with. The singer believed that if he hadn't married her, his life would be a mess.

Osmond, who additionally accomplished popularity due to the success of the 1976–79 self-titled variety series, added that he had somebody who understood him and with whom he could build a future together.
