Donny has always cherished his role as a grandpa. In an interview in August last year, he talked about introducing his 14 grandchildren to his career. Reflecting on this, he shared, "I consciously make an effort to take a back seat and just be grandpa, not a celebrity."

Donny and his wife, Debbie, grandchildren come from their five children: Don, Jeremy, Brandon, Christopher, and Joshua. Despite his fame, Donny enjoys being a regular grandpa. He spends time with his grandchildren and enjoys watching his sons step into their roles as fathers.

Donny takes great joy in seeing his children carry on family traditions, too. "It's such a wonderful warm feeling to see your child become a parent and to see them raise their own children and to take on the kind of family traditions that Debbie and I have started," he said.

One special tradition Donny has created is planting a fruit tree for each of his grandchildren in his orchard. He recently added a tree for his grandson, Dune Tyler Osmond, born to his son Chris and his wife Alta.

"I just planted Dune's tree, and Aussie Rae's is starting to get all the peaches on," he shared, referring to Chris's daughter born in 2020. He enjoys taking his grandkids to the orchard to pick fruit from their own trees.

As Donny's grandchildren grow up, he often reflects on his own childhood in show business. "What's really fun is that now I've got an 18-year-old grandson, and I remember doing the Donny & Marie show when I was his age," he once said.

Donny started singing at four and performing professionally at five. Now, he marvels at how his grandchildren are growing up, thinking about his own experiences at their age.

Donny shared his excitement at sharing his fame with his grandchildren in a different country. "In the UK, my career is so much different," he explained. "I’m more of an artist than a television personality here in the United States. But in the UK, it's bedlam, it's absolutely crazy. And they've never seen grandpa in that kind of an atmosphere."

He recalled how amazed his grandchildren were when they saw his Las Vegas show in 2021. "Just before the show started, I'm wrestling with them on the ground, playing with them. But after the show, they treat you a little bit differently. Especially the young ones [were like], 'Wait a minute, is that grandpa out there?'" he said.

During family gatherings, like a watch party for the season two finale of "Claim to Fame," Donny prefers to step back and simply be with his family.

He shared that although he and his wife were the heads of the house, he let his boys take over when they were all together. "I consciously make an effort to take a back seat and just be grandpa, not a celebrity, not the head of the house with my wife, none of that. It's just like grandpa's in the corner playing with the grandkids. That's what I like to do," he shared.

Donny's dedication to his family extends beyond gatherings and traditions. On April 4 this year, he shared a video of his grandson, Daxton, performing in "Les Miserables" at the Timpanogos Valley Theatre.

This is not the first time that Donny has posted on social media and grabbed fans' attention. We previously reported that Donny shared a throwback photo of him and his wife to celebrate their anniversary.
