Marie Osmond’s Daughter: A Beautifully Grown Woman
Marie Osmond, the beloved singer of the hit song “Paper Roses,” is a beautiful woman and incredibly proud to see her daughter, Jessica, grow into a stunning woman.
At age 60, this internationally renowned superstar still shines brightly in the entertainment industry. Marie Osmond has transitioned from a singer to a well-known talk show host and is currently working on various exciting projects, including a new show with Viacom CBS.
A Journey from the Osmonds to Solo Stardom
Marie Osmond first gained popularity as part of the Osmond family, capturing the hearts of audiences during their regular act on The Andy Williams Show in 1962.
But when Marie was just 14 years old, in 1973, her star truly began to rise. Her country-style song, “Paper Roses,” became an instant sensation, reaching number one on the US Country charts and making it to the Top 5 on the Billboard Magazine Pop chart. This breakthrough marked the start of an incredible solo career for Marie.
Marie’s success was joint within her family. Her brother, Donny Osmond, also became famous after being part of The Osmonds. The dynamic duo became renowned not just for their TV show but also as two of the most well-known Mormons in the entertainment industry.
Embracing Acceptance and Love
Marie Osmond’s affiliation with the Mormon religion led to conflict when she expressed her support for her adopted daughter, Jessica, who identifies as a lesbian. Jessica Marie Blosil is the eldest daughter of Marie Osmond and her ex-husband, Brian Blosil. Marie and Brian adopted Jessica when she was just two years old.
Although Marie’s marriage to Brian ended in 2007, they divorced amicably. Marie later remarried her first husband, Steve Craig, who, like Marie, was also a football player turned public speaker.
While the Mormon Church now accepts the LGBTQ+ community into their faith, it is essential to note that this acceptance is still contingent on celibacy. Same-sex marriage is no longer considered an apostasy in terms of Church discipline, but it is still viewed as a significant transgression.
Marie Osmond’s fans are deeply moved by her unwavering support and acceptance of her daughter’s sexual orientation. Despite her commitment to the Mormon faith, Marie openly expresses her love and support for Jessica.
In an interview, she shared how immensely honored she felt when Diane Sawyer named her “Person of the Week” due to her unwavering love for her daughter. The news of Jessica coming out as gay at 17 brought Marie to tears, as she solely wished for her child’s happiness and believed that judgment had no place in their relationship.
The Joy of Unconditional Love
Today, Marie Osmond’s daughter, Jessica, is happily married to her wife, Sara. In a heartwarming display of support, Marie posted a heartfelt photo of the couple, congratulating them on their marriage and warmly welcoming Sara into the family.
As for Marie and Steve Craig, they continue to thrive as a couple. And, of course, Marie’s other children also find their unique paths to success.
Marie Osmond’s journey is a testament to the power of acceptance, love, and embracing our loved ones for who they indeed are. Despite any obstacles along the way, Marie’s unwavering support for her daughter Jessica is truly heartwarming.
