Debbie Osmond Turns 61 And Husband Donny Osmond Praises Her In Sweet Tribute

Feb 27, 2020

Donny Osmond shows the world romance is not dead, by sharing a special birthday tribute to his wife of 42 years, Debbie, on social media.

The 62-year-old singer and actor found fame as a child in The Osmonds, the group he was in with his siblings. His career has spanned decades, but so too has his marriage to 61-year-old Debbie. In a Facebook post, Donny wrote that the pair first met when they were just teens. After dating for a few years they married in 1978 and had five children together: Donald, 40, Jeremy, 38, Brandon, 34, Christopher, 29 and Joshua, 21.

According to Closer Weekly, in a live Q&A session on Facebook, Donny stated: “I believe the key to a successful marriage is focusing instead on what you can do to bring your spouse happiness.” This is advice we could all use at times.

In the Instagram post Donny gushed, "Somehow, time makes Debbie even more stunningly radiant, intelligent and beautiful with every passing year." He also added a bit of humor by adding, "It's really not fair to the rest of us, Deb."

With a career that often meant Debbie was left alone with the kids while Donny toured, Donny praised her resilience and support in a Valentine's Day post which showed a smiling image of them together:

“Between raising our five sons, running the show at home, enjoying time with our grandchildren and running a business as well, I really don’t know how she manages to do it all... She is the glue that holds us all together.”

It is wonderful that a marriage that has spanned so many years is still as loving and giving as ever. Spread this joyful message to everyone you know, and let the uplifting feeling inspire you to praise your own loved ones.
