American actress, singer, talk show host, and author Marie Osmond is undeniably one of the most successful women in show business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She became an international sensation in the 1970s and 1980s, and since then, the icon has enjoyed an exciting career in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apart from her life on the big screen, Osmond has also had an exciting love life over the years. Although she has tried to maintain privacy with her relationships, there is no denying that the singer has dated and married some famous men in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Osmond’s first relationship began with acting student Jeff Clayton. According to reports, the pair got engaged in 1979. Unfortunately, the couple’s romance was short-lived, and their engagement was eventually called off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To date, not much is known about Osmond and Clayton’s relationship. Following Osmond and Clayton’s breakup, the singer found love again in the arms of former basketball player Steve Craig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The pair dated for a while, and in June 1982, they eventually walked down the aisle. At the time, Osmond was 22 and had just ended the series “Donny & Marie.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Osmond and her first husband welcomed their first child and son, Stephen, in April 1983, less than a year after they tied the knot. Sadly, starting a family at such a young age came at the cost of her career. The singer recalled everyone telling her that her career was over, and it began to affect her marriage at some point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eventually, in May 1985<\/a>, after three years of marital bliss, Osmond and Craig called it quits. After the divorce, the singer decided to return to work. Regarding her reason, Osmond noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Osmond worked very hard, buying clothes from Limited Express and sewing sequins on them to look like stage costumes. In no distant time, her career was back on track.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Not long after her divorce from Craig, the “The Talk” host met music producer Brian Blosil, and the pair became romantically involved. They exchanged vows in 1986 and later welcomed seven children\u2014 two biological and five adopted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Her biological children, Rachel and Matthew, were born in<\/a> August 1989 and July 1999. Rachel is married to Gabriel Krueger, and they have two children together, while Matthew became engaged to his fianc\u00e9e, Kaitlynn, in 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On the other hand, the singer’s adopted children, Jessica, Michael, Brianna, Brandon, and Abigail, were born in 1987, 1991, 1997, 1996, and 2002, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Like every other marriage, Osmond and Blosil’s union had its challenges. In 1999, after the actress welcomed her third biological child, Matthew, she suffered postpartum depression, which led to her separation from her husband for several months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Eventually, Osmond and Blosil reconciled, but in 2005, they experienced another trying time when their house caught fire<\/a>. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Nevertheless, the actress saw the terrifying situation as a sign that her marriage was crumbling. In her words<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Because I realized this home I had created was a facade to a marriage that wasn’t happy for 20 years. I really believe it was God \u2014 they say, ‘The burning within.’ So sometimes these things happen to wake us up.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

The singer also confessed that she spoke to her children about how unhappy she was in the marriage, and they encouraged her to leave. After staying married for 21 years, Osmond and Blosil’s union ended in May 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2009, Osmond found love in her first husband, Craig, following her split from Blosil. The lovebirds rekindled their romance after their son, Stephen, got them together in the same room again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This time, Osmond decided to hide her romance with Craig from everyone, including her kids, for fear of hurting anyone if the relationship did not work out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, the pair remained private, and in 2010, they faced a considerable challenge when Osmond’s adopted son, Michael, died by suicide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On February 26, 2010<\/a>, the 18-year-old jumped to his death from the roof of his Los Angeles apartment. It was a devastating time for the singer, but thankfully, Craig was by her side to help her cope<\/a> with the trauma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In May 2011, after dating for two years, Craig and Osmond remarried in a private ceremony at the Las Vegas Mormon Temple in front of their closest friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the occasion, Osmond donned the same wedding dress she wore on their first wedding day. The actress revealed that she found the dress while cleaning out her garage. Indeed, the wedding day was memorable for Osmond, as it was also fixed<\/a> on Michael’s and the actress’s late mother’s birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
