More than just ‘Puppy Love’ is shared by Donny Osmond and Debra, his wife of 45 years. The lovely couple
has five sons together with fourteen grandchildren, the newest of whom, Dune Tyler, was born in June 2023.
Osmond, who has eight siblings of his own, admitted that he is used to having a huge family and described what it’s like to have one again.
Donny Osmond’s tender voice in ‘Puppy Love,’which helped launch him to fame in the 1970s, made young ladies swoon when he was just 14 years old.
The adolescent idol, who provided the harmonies for The Osmonds, a group that also featured his five brothers,
then had an appearance with his younger sister Marie Osmond in the film Donny & Marie (1976–1979). Marie Osmond had achieved international fame in 1973 with the hit song ‘Paper Roses.’
The two brothers were vocal powerhouses who delighted audiences across decades with their monthly performance,
which occasionally included the siblings as well as a star-studded lineup that included Tina Turner, Lucille Ball, and Paul Anka, among others.
The siblings later created many iterations of their program, including the same-named award-winning talk show and an 11-year residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas that concluded in 2019.
The adolescent heartthrob married Debra Glenn in 1978, and both of them, like the rest of their families, belonged to the Utah Church of Latter-Day Saints.
The devoted husband uploaded a picture of him and Debra on May 4, 2023, along with an homage to his wife of 45 years.
‘45 years ago today, I proposed to Debbie Glenn, a cute little girl. I’ve never made a better choice in my life,’ he writes.
Many fans joked about their sadness in their comments. ‘I recall the day of your wedding. There were a million little hearts broken.
And millions of women around the world had their aspirations and dreams dashed, another person added.
Together, the couple has five sons: Don (born 1979), Jeremy (born 1981), Brandon (born 1985), Christopher (1990), and Joshua (born 1998), as well as 14 grandkids and their partners.
On a train in Utah with a holiday motif, Donny and his family celebrated Christmas in December. In one video he released on Instagram,
his large family can be seen enjoying hot cocoa together and singing along to Feliz Navidad, with his adult sons looking much like their famous father.
The son of Christopher and his wife Alta, Dune Tyler Osmond, is the former Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat actor who currently performs and tours.
The adorable picture of the proud granddad and dad cuddling the infant while gazing lovingly at it was posted on June 29.
‘Thank you, Chris and Alta, for bringing another beautiful grandson into Debbie’s and my life,’ he wrote as the caption. Dune Tyler Osmond, welcome to our family. You are indeed a celestial angel.
One admirer said, ‘There was a day (100 years ago) I would have given my life for Donny to look at me like that,’ while another added, ‘This is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen.’
Fans couldn’t stop gushing over the sweet image. You are a wonderful man, Donny! The affection is tangible through the screen.
It’s obvious that Donny Osmond’s followers have a lot to say about his expanding family and are delighted to see him as a loving grandfather.
The ‘Go Away Little Girl’ singer joked that he has more than one soccer team of grandchildren during an interview with ET Canada.
Oh, there’s more. Several teams of soccer,’ Donny added. ‘It’s called sweet chaos,’ the speaker said.
Just recently, we hosted a Fourth of July party where everyone was invited. We had a great time, it was… It was wonderful.
