Introduction:
Marie Osmond has long captured the hearts of audiences with her talent, charisma, and resilience—but her greatest triumph may be the enduring love story she shares with her husband, Steve Craig. Though her career has sparkled for decades, from chart-topping hits to television success, it is her winding and deeply emotional family journey that reveals her true strength. At the center of that journey stands a love story that proves: sometimes life gives us second chances at exactly the right moment.
Marie and Steve first met in the early 1980s, and their connection blossomed into marriage in 1982. The young couple welcomed their son, Stephen, just a year later. But despite their love, life pulled them in different directions, and they divorced in 1985. What followed for Marie was a new chapter with her second husband, Brian Blosil, whom she married in 1986. During their nearly 20 years together, she became the mother of seven more children—Jessica, Rachel, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew, Abigail, and her late son Michael.
After their split in 2007, Marie faced heartbreak, especially following Michael’s tragic passing in 2010. Yet life had a way of bringing her back to a place of healing. In 2009, she reconnected with Steve, and what began as a quiet reunion soon blossomed into something profound. They secretly dated for nearly two years, carefully nurturing their relationship away from public attention. As Marie later admitted, “I didn’t want anybody to get hurt if it didn’t work out.” But fate had other plans.
In 2011, Marie and Steve remarried in a deeply meaningful ceremony in Las Vegas. The date—May 4—was chosen with love and intention, marking the shared birthdays of Marie’s late mother and late son, honoring their presence in spirit. In a touching gesture, Marie wore the same wedding gown from their first marriage, a dramatic Rett Turner design with a 16-foot train. “I can’t breathe, but I’m in it,” she joked.
Their love, now stronger and wiser, transformed Marie’s understanding of partnership. She described Steve as the person who “put all the pieces back together” after years of emotional hardship. For the first time, she felt truly, completely in love. “Now I get it,” she shared. “I’m in love for the first time in my life—really in love.”
Together, Marie and Steve share eight children and a growing number of grandchildren. Though Steve is a stepfather to seven of them, Marie often praises him for being an exceptional father figure. Today, the couple is making up for lost time, enjoying adventures, travel, and quiet moments after Marie stepped away from The Talk in 2020. They cherish every day—proof that love not only lasts, but grows richer with time.
