Here's the thing—Donny Osmond knows he has a lot to be grateful for, but if you ask him what’s at the top of his list, it’s his family. His wife, Debbie Osmond, and their five sons are the heart and soul of his world. The legendary performer from "Donny & Marie" recently opened up about how much he appreciates the beautiful life he’s built with his "eternal companion" of over 42 years. It’s not just about the memories—they’ve created something truly special together.
Now, let’s be honest. 2020 was a tough year for all of us. Donny, who turned 62 this year, summed it up perfectly in a heartfelt Instagram post on November 22. He admitted that he, like many of us, often gets caught up in the challenges of daily life, sometimes forgetting to take a step back and appreciate the blessings right in front of him. In a world where it’s easy to focus on the negative, Donny reminded himself—and all of us—of the power of gratitude.
Debbie, His Eternal Companion
Donny took a moment to reflect on what truly matters in life. “Most importantly,” he wrote, “I am grateful for Debbie, my dear, eternal companion, whom I love beyond words.” For over four decades, Debbie has been his rock, his partner, and the love of his life. Together, they’ve raised five incredible sons, each one a testament to their love and dedication as parents.

A Growing Family
Speaking of the sons, Donny couldn’t help but gush about them. Don Osmond Jr., Jeremy Osmond, Brandon Osmond, Christopher Osmond, and Joshua Osmond—all grown men now—have started families of their own. This means Donny is now blessed with not only five amazing sons but also five wonderful daughters-in-law. He loves them all dearly and couldn’t be prouder. And if that wasn’t enough, there are ten sweet grandchildren in the mix, with two more on the way! “I can hardly wait to hold them in my arms,” Donny wrote, his excitement practically jumping off the screen.
Gratitude Extends Beyond Family
But Donny’s gratitude doesn’t stop there. He also took a moment to thank his late parents, George and Olive, for raising him alongside his seven brothers and sister, Marie Osmond. “I couldn’t have asked for better siblings,” he marveled. It’s clear that family is everything to Donny, and he cherishes every relationship he’s built over the years.
A Shoutout to His Fans
Donny also took a moment to thank the people who have supported him throughout his career. “I am absolutely certain that I have the most loyal and devoted fans any entertainer could ever ask for,” he wrote. His fans have been with him through thick and thin, and he’s deeply grateful for their unwavering support. He’s also thankful for the lessons he’s learned along the way—both the successes and the failures have shaped him into the man he is today.
Lessons for the Next Generation
Throughout his four-decade career in Hollywood, Debbie has always been by Donny’s side. They got married in 1978, and their bond has only grown stronger over the years. One of the most important lessons Donny wants to pass on to his sons is the value of hard work and commitment. “They see how committed we are to each other,” he told Closer Weekly in June 2020. “Together, we can overcome the challenges that life throws at us. By working together and not against each other, those problems or challenges can be overcome with hard work, perseverance, love, kindness, and patience.”
