Donny Osmond is an iconic entertainer but a big family man. The singer has 12 grandchildren and enjoys spending time with his troop. Osmond once got emotional on television when his eldest son revealed he was having his first child.
Aside from creating hits and being an all-round entertainer, Donny Osmond is also a doting father and grandfather who loves being around his big family. Between his Las Vegas residency shows, Osmond ensures that his busy schedule has space for his family.
Osmond is a father to five boys, Don, Jeremy, Brandon, Christopher, and Joshua, who are also grown and have their own families.
Osmond is grandfather to twelve grandchildren, his eldest son Don has four kids with his wife, Jessica. Jeremy is a father of three with his partner Melisa, Brandon has four sons with his spouse Shelby, and Christopher has one child with his wife, Alta.
Osmond’s youngest, Joshua, married his love Summer in June 2020, and according to Closer Weekly, the couple does want kids, but they said they would probably wait a few years.
According to Closer Weekly, the singer welcomed his first grandchild in 2005 when Jeremy and his wife Melisa welcomed their baby boy Dylan on August 21.
After Jeremy brought the first grandchild, the Osmond family started growing, and the “Dancing with the Stars” alum could not have been happier.
Osmond’s 62nd birthday was particularly special because the singer took his last bow in Las Vegas after starting his residency in 2010.
Almost a decade later, Osmond took it to Instagram and expressed that it was his best birthday because he did not have to worry about performing, but he got to spend time with his wife and family.
