Marie Cracks a Heartfelt Joke About Needing ‘More’ Grandkids
In her characteristic light-hearted way, Marie tackled the subject with humor. When asked by her co-hosts on The Talk, “What do you need more of?” her answer was both funny and poignant. “I was thinking I needed my grandkids… and then the word ‘MORE’ popped into my mind,” she wrote in the caption of her post. To emphasize her point, she shared a photo of herself holding a sign that read, “Need more grandkids.” It’s moments like these that remind us how much joy our loved ones bring to our lives, even when we can’t be with them in person.

Family Time Before Quarantine
Even though Marie has been in quarantine with her husband, Steve Craig, at their Utah home, she managed to make a few last-minute trips to see her family before lockdown. Before heading to her mountain retreat, she visited her daughters, Rachael and Jessica, as well as her granddaughter, Rocket Jade. It’s clear that Marie prioritized making sure her loved ones were safe and stocked up with essentials during these uncertain times.
“Made a fast trip to make sure Jessica was safe and had food [and] toilet paper,” she wrote in another Instagram post dated March 16. It’s comforting to know that even celebrities like Marie are taking the same precautions as the rest of us to keep their families safe.
Cooking Together: A Bonding Experience
During one of her visits, Marie spent quality time with Rachael and Rocket, bonding over a delicious kitchen project. They whipped up a batch of chocolate-covered raspberries, a treat that clearly brought a smile to everyone’s face. The pictures from that day show Rocket beaming with joy as she helped her grandma with the recipe. It’s easy to see why Marie cherishes these moments so deeply; her grandkids truly light up her life.

Marie’s Perspective on Family and Success
In a 2016 interview with Closer, Marie shared some profound insights about her priorities in life. Despite her illustrious career and numerous accolades, she considers her role as a mother and grandmother to be her greatest achievement. “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 grandma of three,” she said.
Marie also recalled some wise words her mother, Olive, once shared with her. “She said, ‘You know that you are successful when you can honestly say that you are a happy grandma. That means that your children love you, that you have put family first and that your grandbabies love you,’” Marie reminisced. “I can say that I am a happy mother and a happy grandma.”
