Donny Osmond shares more than just “Puppy Love” with his wife Debra, whom he married 45 years ago. The beautiful couple share five sons and 14 grandchildren, the newest member Dune Tyler, who was born in June, 2023.
No stranger to large families, Osmond, who has eight siblings of his own, the singer opened up about what it is like having a big family all over again!
When Donny Osmond was only 14, young girls swooned over his sweet vocals in “Puppy Love,” that in the 1970’s made him an international sensation.

The two siblings were a powerhouse of vocals, entertaining generations with their weekly show which sometimes featured their siblings and several superstar guests including the likes of Tina Turner, Lucille Ball and Paul Anka.
