Let me tell you a story about family, love, and birthdays. Marie Osmond, the iconic singer and television personality, took a moment to celebrate her daughter Rachael Krueger's 31st birthday in the best way possible—by sharing a heartfelt tribute on social media. This isn’t just any birthday; it’s a reminder of how time flies and how important it is to cherish every moment with the ones we love.
Marie, who’s known for her timeless voice and radiant personality, posted a touching message on Instagram, marveling at how quickly her little girl has grown up. "Happy 31st birthday to my precious baby girl, Rachael," the 60-year-old beauty wrote on Wednesday, August 19. Now, here’s the kicker: she added a touch of humor to her message, asking, "So what the crap happened? How did you get to be so much older than me?" It’s classic Marie—warm, funny, and full of love. She wrapped it up with a simple yet powerful sentiment: "I love you so much, my angel!"
A Look Back at Special Memories
Alongside her heartfelt words, Marie shared a throwback photo of Rachael as a little girl, standing alongside her two older siblings, Stephen Craig and Jessica Blosil. These photos are more than just images—they’re a glimpse into the family’s rich history and the bond they’ve built over the years. But that’s not all. Marie also shared stunning photos of Rachael and her husband, Gabriel Krueger, whom she married in 2012. These snapshots capture the beauty and love in Rachael’s life today.

Marie's Legacy as a Mother
Marie isn’t just a star on stage; she’s a devoted mom to eight children. Alongside Rachael, she’s also the proud mother of Stephen, 37, Jessica, 32, Brandon Blosil, 23, Brianna Schwep, 22, Matthew Blosil, 21, Abigail Blosil, 17, and her late son Michael. Each child has a special place in her heart, but she shares a unique bond with Rachael. As she once told Closer Weekly, Rachael is her ultimate mini-me. "My daughter Rachael and I are very similar in a lot of ways," Marie explained. "She has that same personality that I have where she wants to know and do everything. She’s never satisfied." It’s clear that this mother-daughter duo shares a connection that goes beyond blood—it’s a bond of spirit and soul.
Grandmotherhood: The Next Chapter
Being a mom is one thing, but being a grandma? That’s a whole new level of love. Marie couldn’t be happier about being the grandma to Rachael’s two children, Rocket Jade and Wolf. "Out of all the awards and accolades that I have been blessed with throughout my life, nothing comes close in comparison with the blessings I receive from being a mother to my eight children and [a] grandma," she once said. Marie credits her late mom, Olive Osmond, for instilling in her the importance of family. "She said, ‘You know that you are successful when you can honestly say that you are a happy grandma,’” Marie recalled. “That means that your children love you, that you have put family first and that your grandbabies love you.’" And let me tell you, Marie is one happy grandma.
So, here’s to Rachael Krueger, a beautiful woman who’s following in her mom’s footsteps of love, passion, and grace. We hope her birthday is everything she deserves and more!
