The music superstar, who was born in 1957, has achieved 33 gold records in the span of his career. He has sold more than 100 million albums, establishing himself as a music legend.
Being a showman runs in Donnyâs blood, and his ability to entertain has remained timeless. He and his musically inclined siblings have been in the show business for a long time.
The acclaimed crooner was part of the famous 1970 musical group The Osmonds, which consists of his equally talented siblings Jimmy, Marie, Virl, Merrill, Alan, Jay, and Wayne.
In addition to the musical band, Donny also had a hit variety show with his sister, Marie, titled âDonny & Marieâ in 1976. The duoâs performance earned many accolades for being outstanding performers.
In 2009, âDancing with the Starsâ crowned Donny as a champion for season nine, which amassed 37 million viewers weekly. Due to his varied career choices, he has captivated many audiences.
He starred on Broadway as Gaston in Disneyâs âBeauty and the Beastâ and hosted two TV series on the British TV network. He also performed at the Concert for Diana, a benefit show for the late Princess Diana.
From entertainment, he eventually branched out in business. He launched a home furnishing line called Donny Osmond Home in 2013, with his longtime wife and former actress Debbie.
His Wife for Life
Donny has been married to Debbie for over 40 years. The proud husband said his family is his top priority, and he was grateful to have a wife, who he described as a âsilent giant.â He said, âShow biz can be a very crazy life, but Iâve found a wonderful stability in her, and it has made a world of difference [sic].â
Donny was 19 when he wed 18-year-old Debbie in 1978. He said his wife was an âamazing personâ to be with, and if he had not married her, he would be a mess.

Finding the Perfect Spot
The master showman and his family lived in different areas in the past â in California, Toronto, and Chicago. Born in Ogden, Utah, Donny moved to California when he was three years old.
After tying the knot with Debbie, the couple stayed in Provo, Utah, until 1985 and returned to California. Because of Donnyâs thriving career, the pair relocated again.
The couple moved to several places in Toronto and Chicago while Donny was doing the musical âJoseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.â Afterward, they decided to settle back in Provo.

In front of their house, it had a long driveway beside it, where neighborsâ children would gather. Donny has allowed the kids to express their creativity by drawing fun cartoons on the ground.
Just Olâ Uncle Donny in the Neighborhood
Some children called the veteran singer âUncle Donny.â Donny said he enjoyed his leisurely trips to a grocery store where employees would treat him like a friend. He spoke of their home, âIn the crazy world of entertainment, it is so comforting to live with my family in an area where we can just be a family.â
Donny said the Provo residents treated him and his family like ordinary neighbors. It gives him great comfort to know that their neighbors respect and value their privacy.
Donny enjoyed being a neighbor who could enjoy the perks of living in the neighborhood and being part of the community. He considered Provo as his âhome baseâ for the years to come.
Donnyâs former home in Chicago â a midcentury colonial-style house â was sold for $1.18 million. He and Debbie lived there in the late 1990s before moving to Provo for good.
