Yet regardless of how busy he is, he always makes sure to leave out time for his family.

Don, Jeremy, Brandon, Christopher, and Joshua Osmond are the five sons of Donny Osmond. They are all now grownups with their own families. And Osmond enjoys nothing more than spending time with his family.

Currently, Osmond has 12 grandchildren, all of whom he takes great pride in. Don, his oldest son, and his wife Jessica have four children. Brandon and his wife Shelby have four children, Jeremy and Melissa have three children, and Christopher and Alta have a newborn.

Joshua, the youngest son of Osmond, wed in June 2020. The pair reportedly wants a few children but has chosen to enjoy a few years just the two of them before beginning a family.

When his son Jeremy and his wife Melissa had their son Dylan, Donny Osmond became a grandfather for the first time in 2005.

This was the first member of a new Osmond generation. Osmond has advanced in both his personal and professional lives as he has aged. The singer began his residency in Las Vegas in 2010, and on his 62nd birthday, he gave his final performance there.

On Instagram, he shared his joy and said it was a relief to not have to worry about performing on his birthday and instead be able to spend time with his family.

When Osmond made a visit on “The Talk” in 2012 for a “Father’s Day Special,” his eldest son Don surprised everyone by joining him to share some fantastic news.

Don told his father that he was about to have children of his own. He also admitted to his father that he enjoyed being the one to “break him into parenting” as his oldest child.

He continued his message by adding, “I wasn’t the first to make you a grandfather, but Jessica and I have your fifth grandbaby.” It was later reported that Donny Osmond burst out into tears backstage, the singer shared the reason for his emotional reaction, “They’ve been trying for a long, long, long time, I’m very happy for them and I’m pretty happy myself too!”

The singer wrote on his Instagram, “We officially have a dozen! Debbie and I are so excited that our 12th grand baby was born two weeks ago. Don and Jessi welcomed Christian, their 4th son, on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 and we are already in love.”

Despite having a full schedule and being quite busy, Donny Osmond always makes time for his grandchildren. He is a proud grandpa who is always willing to share on his social media accounts about the accomplishments of his grandkids.

Osmond squeezed a flight out to watch his grandson play football despite his hectic schedule. Osmond enthusiastically announced that his grandchild’s team had won, noting that his grandson will shortly begin high school.

Another time, he blogged about attending his grandson’s basketball game before continuing his residency in Las Vegas. He is obviously a highly active granddad!

One of his grandchildren is an artist in addition to a sportsman. The National Museum of History in Washington, DC, featured artwork by one of Osmond’s grandsons. The ecstatic granddad tweeted about his accomplishment.

For a long time, there was only one granddaughter in the brood who Osmond referred to as his “little sweet princess.” He once wrote the sweetest birthday wish to her, saying, “She has the most lovable personality and always makes sure that everyone has a friend. I’m so lucky to have this little girl in my life. In fact, I often refer to her as my sweet little princess.”

Osmond was so ecstatic to learn that his son Christoper was welcoming a new daughter into the family. On social media, he expressed his response to the gender reveal.

Osmond can not contain his joy in the video as he runs toward his daughter-in-law with outstretched arms, shouting his granddaughter Emy’s name to express how glad he was that she will finally have another girl in the family to bond with!

happy! We wish this family nothing but success as they continue to grow.
