'Together Again!' Donny Osmond Hugs Sister Marie in Front of Crowd Dispelling Family Feud Rumors

Despite rumors of a past feud, Donny and Marie Osmond proved that blood is thicker than water in a recent reunion, reminding themselves about their bond. Although the famous Osmond duo had not been spotted together publicly for three years prior, Donny has supported his sister through the ups and downs.

For many years, Donny and Marie Osmond have had their lives intertwined. With nearly two years apart—Donny, born in 1957, and his sister, in 1959, these distinctive talents created spectacular entertainment. Before becoming a duo, they performed solo and were part of a larger family vocal group, The Osmonds.

The Osmond family, including George, Olive, and their nine kids, was based in Utah. They were devoted worshippers of the Church of Latter-day Saints, aka the Mormons.

Donny, the fifth child, was indoctrinated into the family group when he was four, alongside his four older brothers, who began their performances in church. Their unique singing and precise coordination stole the hearts of other church members, and soon, the group was called to other churches around the western US.

Expectedly, their sound and style of music evolved, and by 1966, when they had gained significant fame, Marie, the only daughter, joined the team. George had no problem managing his home front and his kids as a singing group. They ran a rigorous schedule as the years rolled by, with everyone on their A-game.

As he grew older, Donny emerged as the lead singer, and soon, the band landed an opportunity to perform at the Disney amusement park during a family vacation. They also featured on hit shows.

Their breakthrough was after signing to the MGM label, however, this time, the group consisted of the five eldest brothers, strictly for recording, and they were called Osmond Brothers.

Even though at the time, they metamorphosed into pop style of singing, they maintained harmony in performance, always appearing as a unit. This lasted throughout the decades they sang together; the changes welcomed by the popular culture never mattered; the Osmond Brothers remained rooted.

Marie, one of the youngest singers to top the Billboard charts with her cover of Anita Bryant's "Paper Rose," made a strong start as a teammate to her brother in 1974.

They gave fans a blend of pop and country music and, in no time, garnered a wide range of audience. Their hit songs included "Morning Side of the Mountain" and "I'm Leaving It All Up to You."

The following year, they appeared on TV, co-hosting the "Mike Douglas Show" for a week, and later, headlined their own titled "Donny & Marie." The siblings also tried their hands on acting, featuring in 1978's "Going Coconuts."

Throughout the decades—music evolution and different generations, Donny and Marie progressed in their careers. Even though they disappeared now and then, as a team, they often returned, leaving a reverberating effect through their contributions to the entertainment industry.

Alongside their brilliant talents, they have raised families. Donny is a father to five kids and a granddad to more than ten grandkids. On the other hand, Marie had eight kids — sadly, she lost her son in 2010.

Donny Osmond Has Remained a Great Support System to His Sister

Donny and Marie's closeness has never been limited to working on songs or shows; the siblings have a deep connection and have been each other's support through the years.

Their latest performance comes three years after their 11-year Las Vegas residency ended. Throughout their contract, they were involved in about 1,730 shows at Flamingo Las Vegas.

In February 2010, Marie's son committed suicide. The death of the young adult was a devastating blow for the "Paper Rose" singer. However, she resumed stage performances to deal with the tragedy.

Donny, who joined his sister on stage to deliver heart-melting songs, explained that it was a challenging moment, but her strength pulled her through. He added:

"What's amazing is that just minutes after she's cried, she'll come out of the dressing room, perfect and ready to go. She has her moments. I admire her… She's been able to pick herself up and survive."

Simultaneously, Marie recognized her brother's efforts in helping her heal. She was grateful for having family and friends by her side, which eased the pain. In her words:

"Performing with Donny provided stability... I could be a mom and still do what I loved with someone I trusted, my brother Donny. Thank you for being my big brother... We found strength from family and our new family of friends."

Donny and Marie Osmond Were Once Rumored to Be at Loggerheads

In 2014, while preparing to hang the "Donnie & Marie" show building wrap, it was reported that the siblings were allegedly engaged in a family feud.

According to the rumor, their rigid relationship stemmed from some business decisions by Donny, which Marie frowned upon, one of which led to the cancelation of her show on the Hallmark network.

Despite the insinuations, the duo reportedly managed to keep the feud away from the eagle-eyed media. On-screen, they remained the perfect co-workers, but off-screen, they barely spoke.

A source confirmed that the tense relationship was extended to a meet-and-greet. Even after fans paid to see the siblings, they never got photographed together. Fans were allowed to have photos, but only with one sibling at a time.

Speaking of the building wrap, the siblings were photographed miles apart, on different ends of the wrap in one of the advertisements. Despite the speculations, they continued working together, earning over a million for their show following a nasty lawsuit.

Donny and Marie Osmond Reunite after Three Years

For Donny, what happens in Las Vegas can be shared with the world. Earlier in the month, the "Puppy Love" star revealed that his little sister stopped by during his performance at Harrah, LA.

This reunion saw the pair engaging in an impromptu performance of their theme song, "I'm A Little Bit Country, I'm A Little Bit Rock' N' Roll." Marie was in a booth among the audience when her brother approached her following a request from a fan.

Donny was proud of the phenomenal act; he recalled it as an unforgettable moment. The singer also thanked his sister and uploaded an adorable snap of their reunion, proving their bond remained intact and dispelling any rumors of a feud.

In the photo, the siblings twinned in their black attires and added the perfect accessory— infectious smiles on their faces. Donny also crossed an arm around the younger Osmond and captioned the photo with heart-melting words before ending it with:

"Thank you, Sis. I love you."

Fans were delighted to see the duo together again. One person quipped, "Donny still showing the magical moments together... Beautiful sister & brother picture donny & Marie."

Another added, "It was an exciting moment for you and Marie to sing Your Song! I am grateful fans are able to video and share these moments!! Thank you."

Their latest performance comes three years after their 11-year Las Vegas residency ended. Throughout their contract, they were involved in about 1,730 shows at Flamingo Las Vegas.

In 2019, while announcing the end of their shows, the siblings appreciated each other and thanked their fans. Despite the final bows, Donny noted:

"Who knows — maybe sometime in the future, we'll get together again to sing 'A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock' n' Roll. There's a bond here that will never be broken."

Through years of fame, fortune, tragedy, and family life, Donny and Marie have remained inseparable. They have stuck by each other professionally and personally, showing that family is golden.
