Alright, let’s dive in. You know Marie Osmond, the icon who’s been a household name for decades? Well, she’s decided to step away from her role on The Talk, and she’s doing it with a smile on her face. According to an exclusive source talking to Closer Weekly, Marie is “looking forward to spending more time” with her husband, Steve Craig, and her grandkids. Sounds like she’s ready to hit the semi-retirement phase, and who could blame her?
Now, here’s the thing. Marie’s not just stepping back because she’s tired. Oh no, far from it. Her marriage to Steve Craig is as solid as they come, and she’s all about reconnecting with him now that the kids are out of the house. “She’s happy about having an empty nest,” the source adds. Let’s not get it twisted—Marie isn’t going anywhere. She’s just shifting gears and focusing on what matters most to her right now.
A New Chapter for Marie

On September 2, Marie made the announcement that she was leaving The Talk, a show she joined just a year ago in September 2019, shortly after Sara Gilbert exited. And you know what? She’s not leaving empty-handed. Marie’s got some exciting projects lined up with her former showrunner, John Redmann. Plus, now that her last two kids are off to college, she and Steve have some serious alone time for the first time since 1982. Can you imagine? That’s almost 40 years of juggling family and career. Now, she’s ready to focus on her husband and visiting all her kids and grandkids.
Work-Life Balance: Marie’s Priority
Let’s talk about Marie’s dedication to her family. As a mom of eight, she’s always tried to strike that perfect balance between her career and her home life. She’s even said that she never left her kids at home while she was on tour because she couldn’t bear the thought of them being “in a house” without her. Instead, they all traveled together. Can you picture that? Imagine spending 260 days a year on the road with your whole family. That’s dedication, folks.
Marie shared a sweet moment on Instagram back in August, where she talked about what home means to her. “Home is where we ALL were, together,” she wrote. Growing up, her family was everything, and she wanted the same for her kids. So, they spent summers on the road, moving from show to show. It’s a lifestyle that shaped her children and kept her close to them.

Family First: Marie’s Bond with Donny
Now that Marie’s slowing down a bit, she can be there even more for her family, including her brother Donny Osmond, who’s recently joined FOX’s new singing show, I Can See Your Voice. You know, Donny and Marie have a bond that goes way back. Marie once said, “I never had a sister growing up. Donny was the closest thing!” That’s some serious sibling love right there.
Here’s another sweet Instagram moment where Marie shared a recipe for healthy snacks with her daughter Rachael and granddaughter Rocket Jade. Check it out:
