Marie Osmond Loves to Visit Her 8 Grandkids between Concerts, Take Them on 'Special Outings' & Spoil Them

Marie Osmond is famously known for her country hits. As much as she has loved having the opportunity to work in her older age, she is also grateful to be an active grandmother. She loves spending time with her grandchildren so much that she hops on the next plane whenever she is not working.

Singer Marie Osmond is famous for her days as part of the duo Donny and Marie. The brother and sister also hosted a TV show in the mid-'70s, but Osmond eventually established her career as a country singer.

She produced hits such as "Paper Roses" and "Meet me in Montana." Osmond comes from a showbiz family and has also been featured in the fan-favorite show "Dancing with the Stars."

Osmond has worn many hats in her career, but she loves her role as a mother. The singer has eight children, three of which are her biological kids, and five are adopted.

Marie Osmond's Children

Osmond's eldest child is Stephen Craig, who she had with her first husband, Stephen Lyle Craig, a basketball player from Brigham Young University.

Stephen is an actor who worked on the 1989 Christmas movie "It Nearly Wasn't Christmas." He is married to Claire Blosil, and they have three children together. Jessica is Osmond's adopted daughter, who was born in 1987. She and her wife Sara married in 2019 and lived in Los Angeles.

While married to Brian Blosil, Osmond welcomed a daughter Rachel, who is married to fashion designer Gabriel Kruger and has two kids with him.

In 1996, Osmond adopted Brandon shortly after he was born. He has kept a low profile, but his mother shared his picture on her social media for his 23rd birthday.

The singer then adopted another daughter Brianna who grew up to become a makeup artist. She is married to David Shwep, who is 21 years older than her, and they share two children.

In 2002 Osmond adopted Abigail shortly after she was born. The youngest of the Osmond children graduated high school in 2020, and her mother gifted her with an amusing gift of toilet paper roll earrings.

Michael was another one of Osmond's adopted children. Unfortunately, he took his life when he was 18 years old following his parents' divorce.

Reports state that the 18-year-old was battling depression and addiction, but his mother honors him each year and celebrates his birthday. Osmond posted a tribute and wrote, "I love you eternally. Happy birthday my angel son."

Mathew is Osmond's second biological child. He was born in 1999 and is a dedicated Christian. His mother shared an Instagram post that Mathew decided to embark on his Christian journey after high school instead of pursuing a college degree.

Nonetheless, the singer is proud of her son's dedication to his faith. After raising eight children, Osmond is now embracing being a grandmother, a role she is very proud of.

Marie Osmond Is a Proud and Loving "Glamm"

Osmond has eight grandchildren and has admitted to loving them so much. Her daughter Rachel is the mother of Rocket, Jade, and Wolf. Brianna's children are Maude and Mabel.

Her eldest son Stephen is the father of Stephen, Christian, and Maxwell and recently welcomed Olive. Osmonds's favorite part about being a grandmother is the fact that she gets to give her grandkids all the loving without the difficult job of disciplining them.

Stephen's children have started kindergarten, and the singer expressed how grateful she was to see her grandkids grow, live, and reach milestones. Osmond is also not shy to share her beautiful moments with her grandchildren on social media.

One of the sweet moments she shared was when Olive arrived in 2021. The singer posted her grandson Christian holding his little sister, and she couldn't have been more delighted.

When the proud grandmother is not working, she spends time with her eight grandchildren. She said they love to go on "special outings" like getting manicures, playing golf, and coloring, which is one of her granddaughter's favorite activities, or they will whip up something in the kitchen and feast together.

Osmond posted several pictures of her family activities, showing fans what she and her brood got up to. The photos included her daughter-in-law's baby shower and watching her grandson play baseball. The grandmother said she always ensures the grandchildren feel included in whatever they do.

Osmond enjoys spending time with her grandkids because she has experienced things she never got to have as a child. Therefore, sharing some of her firsts with her children's offspring is extra special.

The country singer expressed that the bond she shares with her grandchildren is part of her success. To her, it means that she has done an excellent job of loving her children, and Osmond would not trade that for anything. She said:

"I have worked my entire life, and I can honestly say there is NO job more challenging or fulfilling than… being a grandma!"

The "Dancing with the Stars" alum also said she was happy to help her daughter-in-law when Olive was still a newborn. She visited her son and cared for the baby while the couple celebrated their anniversary.

To be able to lend a helping hand when things get overwhelming for her children is absolute bliss for Osmond. She even shared that one time she visited her daughter, she overheard them say, "Wow, isn't it nice grandma's here?" Which warmed her heart.

One of the singer's favorite things is when she has a week free to travel and visit her grandchildren. She shared that she went to California to see Stephen and his kids for a couple of days.

From there, she flew to Las Vegas and spent time with Maude and Mable. Osmond said spending time with all her grandchildren brings her the most joy, and after working hard on her body and lifestyle, she is even more grateful that she gets to be active with the kids.

By the sound of things, Osmond would not mind having more grandchildren, she said her mother had 56, but her kids have assured her that she will not have grandchildren nearly close to that number.
