Marie Osmond's personal life is just as busy as her professional life.
In addition to being an entertainment multi-hyphenate, the Donny & Marie star is also a mother of eight. Osmond shares a son, Stephen Jr., with her husband, Stephen Craig Sr. — whom she divorced in 1989 and later remarried in 2011. She and her ex-husband, Brian Blosil, also share seven children: Rachael, Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew and Abigail. Her son Michael died in 2010 when he was 18 years old.
In 2019, Osmond spoke to PEOPLE about her experience raising eight children.
"They're all really hard workers and they are kind to each other and they really try hard to be kind to people," she said. "Some of my kids are adopted and I can't remember which ones, but some of them are more like me than my biological and I'm like, 'I know why God sent you to me!' "
The following year, Osmond made headlines when she said she would not be leaving her fortune to her children. She plans to donate it to charity and encourages her kids to make their own money.
"I'm not leaving any money to my children. Congratulations kids," Osmond said. "I think you do a great disservice to your children to just hand them a fortune because you take away the one most important gift you can give your children and that's the ability to work."
Osmond continued: "You see it a lot in rich families, where the kids, they don't know what to do and so they get in trouble. Let them be proud of what they make and I'm going to give mine to my charity."
Here's everything to know about Marie Osmond's eight kids: Stephen Jr., Rachael, Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew and Abigail.
Stephen James Craig Jr., 40
Osmond and her first husband, Stephen Craig Sr., welcomed their only child together, son Stephen James Craig Jr., on April 20, 1983.
Osmond was just 22 and fresh off of her smash hit variety series Donny & Marie when she first married Stephen Sr., whom she had met as a teen. They married in 1982 and divorced in 1985, only to reconnect years later through their son and marry again in 2011.
In fact, the exes decided to remarry partly because of Stephen Jr. "Stephen was getting married and we [realized] we can’t go to our son’s wedding and not be married,” Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019. “So we got married a few months before he did. He joked that he never thought it would happen, but it did!”
Osmond's firstborn son is now a father to four kids, whom he shares with his wife Claire. In 2013, Osmond spoke about becoming a first-time grandma.
"I'm going to be a grandma!" she announced on The Talk in 2013. "And I just can't wait. Isn't that fun? So excited."
Stephen Jr. broke the news to his mother on his 30th birthday. "He blew out the candles and then blew me away and said, 'You're going to be a grandma!' So, it's really fun," Osmond added.
The singer and her husband spend lots of time with Stephen Jr. and his family, with Osmond frequently sharing photos of their family outings on Instagram.
Jessica Marie Blosil, 36
Jessica Marie Blosil was born on Dec. 17, 1987, and adopted by Osmond and Blosil at nearly 2 years old. In her adulthood, Jessica became a police officer in Provo, Utah. She has also worked as a crisis counselor.
"She works full time — she helps people get off drugs and do all those things," Osmond told Closer Weekly in October 2019. "She's loving that."
Jessica and her longtime girlfriend Sara got married in June 2019. Osmond congratulated the couple on Instagram, sharing a photo of her posing with them. "Congratulations to my darling daughter Jessica and her new wife Sara! I’m so glad I got to fly in for the day to be a part of such a happy occasion!" she wrote in the caption. "I could not love the two of you more! Welcome to our family! ❤️."
