Donny Osmond shares more than just “Puppy Love” with his wife Debra, whom he married 45 years ago. The beautiful couple share five sons and 14 grandchildren, the newest member Dune Tyler, who was born in June, 2023.

No stranger to large families, Osmond, who has eight siblings of his own, the singer opened up about what it is like having a big family all over again!

When Donny Osmond was only 14, young girls swooned over his sweet vocals in “Puppy Love,” that in the 1970’s made him an international sensation.

The teen idol–who loaned his harmonies to The Osmonds, an ensemble that included his five brothers–then appeared on screen with his little sister Marie Osmond in Donny & Marie (1976 to 1979), the latter who gained global recognition in 1973 with the hit song “Paper Roses.”

The two siblings were a powerhouse of vocals, entertaining generations with their weekly show which sometimes featured their siblings and several superstar guests including the likes of Tina Turner, Lucille Ball and Paul Anka. The siblings launched several variations of their show in the future, including the award-winning talk show of the same name and an 11-year-residency that ended in 2019 at the Flamingo Las Vegas.

It was in 1978 when the teen heartthrob married Debra Glenn in 1978, both of them were members of Utah’s Church of Latter-Day Saints, like the rest of their families.

On May 4, 2023, the doting husband posted a photo of him and Debra, along with a tribute to his wife of 45 years.
