Donny Osmond's Full Life as a Grandfather
Donny is a proud grandfather who often shares pictures of his grandchildren. The singer is also always quick to happily announce the birth of his grandchildren.
All of Donny's sons are adults with families of their own. His eldest son, Donald, has four kids with his wife, Jessica. Donny's second-born, Jeremy, has three children with Melissa. The singer's third child Brandon and his wife, Shelby, have four kids.
Donny's fourth child Christopher has two children with his wife, Alta. The singer's last child tied the knot in June 2020. As per reports, Joshua and his wife are enjoying a few years on their own before they start having kids.
The "Too Young" singer became a grandfather for the first time in 2005 when Jeremy and Melissa welcomed their first son, Dylan.
In 2012, Donny received wonderful news on a "Father's Day Special" aired on "The Talk." Donald made a surprise appearance to give his father the news that he was going to become a father himself.
Donald told Donny that while he wasn't the first to make him a grandfather, he was the one who would give him his fifth grandbaby. Reports said that Donny burst into tears when he received this news and revealed:
"They've been trying for a long, long, long time, I'm very happy for them and I'm pretty happy myself too!"
After having their first child, Donny announced that Donald and his wife had their fourth child in 2020. The singer shared on Instagram that his 12th grandbaby was on the way. He posted a picture of his son and wife holding an ultrasound scan and partly captioned it:
"Our son Don and daughter-in-law Jessi are expecting their 4th son. They will now have a cute quartet, and we can hardly wait to meet this precious little baby boy. 💙 Possibly 1/1/21. Wouldn't that be cool. We'll see. 😊"
When Jessica gave birth, Donny shared on Instagram that he officially had a dozen grandchildren. Donald and Jessica's fourth child was born on December 29, 2020.
The "Sacred Emotion" hitmaker loves spending time with his grandchildren. He once took time out of his busy schedule to fly out and watch his grandson play football. Donny informed his fans that his grandson won.
Donny also went to his grandson's basketball game before going back to Las Vegas to continue his residency. One of Donny's grandchildren is into art. The singer shared on Twitter that this grandchild's work was featured at the National Museum of History in Washington, DC.
For a long time, Donny only had one granddaughter. He called her his little princess. Donny said she was a little girl with the most lovable personality who made sure everyone had a friend.
The singer shared his reaction on social media when Christopher and Alta did a gender reveal and found out that they were having a girl. Excited to welcome another granddaughter, Donny ran to Alta with open arms as he shouted his granddaughter's name, Emy.
To Donny, the only thing that surpasses the joy of being a father is being a grandfather. His son Donald said Donny always puts family first and has unique ways of expressing this.
Donny Osmond Lives a Happy Life with His Rock, Debbie
Donny has been through a lot in life, including career setbacks, crushing anxiety, and near-bankruptcy. The singer said he wouldn't have survived all this had his rock, Debbie, not been with him.
Debbie and Donny met in 1970. Donny was 16, a superstar, while Debbie was 15, a cheerleader. The singer said he loved Debbie because she lived a simple life as his was complicated.
Years later, Donny said his wife gave his life stability and kept his feet on the ground. However, for three years after they started dating, Donny kept his relationship with Debbie a secret as he felt that if they went public, his career would be over.
Still, in 1978, fans were shocked when the singer said he was engaged to Debbie. The pair went through a difficult time when Donny's show "Danny & Marie" ended in January 1979. They lost a multi-million-dollar fortune to bad investment and had to rebuild.
Debbie helped Donny rebuild when she encouraged him to put himself out there even as he struggled with anxiety. He played Joseph in a tour of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," which became a hit, headlining 2000 performances over six years.
Putting himself out there led to Donny being a multifaceted entertainer. He landed a residency with his sister Marie that lasted 11 years. Even as his professional life thrived, Donny remained committed to his family as he believed that when the curtain eventually came down, his family would remain.
Today, Donny, who was previously anxious and depressed, openly speaks about mental health and encourages people to seek professional help as there is light at the end of a dark tunnel.
