Marie Osmond's Dating History: From Andy Gibb to Stephen Craig

Marie Osmond was famously linked to singer Andy Gibb, and remarried her husband Stephen Craig in 2011, 26 years after their divorce

Marie Osmond's love life has had many twists and turns.

"I dated a lot of people and never really publicized it," she shared with PEOPLE in 2019. "I'm not a nun!"

The singer found a fresh start with her husband, Stephen Craig, in 2011 when the pair remarried 26 years after they first divorced in 1985.

"Nothing is an accident," Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019 about their reconciliation. "I am a spiritual person. So [I believe] God has his timing."

The Donny & Marie star previously dated many famous entertainers, including Andy Gibb and Erik Estrada, before settling down with Craig. She also was married to ex-husband Brian Blosil from 1986 to 2007.

Here's a look at Marie Osmond's dating history.

Michael McDonald

Osmond revealed that Michael McDonald was the first man she ever had a crush on.

"He was probably the first person I had a crush on," Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019. "He asked me to record on an album with him, and I never got over there to do it. I was going to do some background. I felt really bad about that!"

Jeff Crayton

Osmond was briefly engaged to Jeff Crayton in 1979, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

"Marriage is a serious thing you don't want to fool around with," she told the outlet at the time. "We had doubts."

David Cassidy

Although she never truly dated David Cassidy, Osmond recalled having a brief interest in him in the past.

"Everybody wanted to date David, and I was like, 'Hmmm I'll check him out', " Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019. "We were at a recording studio and I was recording and he was down the hall. And I hear these clogs coming down to the drinking fountain — and I looked at him and I went, 'It's not going to happen! His butt's smaller than mine!' So I couldn't do it."

Andy Gibb

Although it's not clear exactly when Osmond dated Andy Gibb, he appeared on the Donny & Marie variety show in the late 1970s.

"Andy Gibb and I were very dear — loved him," Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019.

Osmond shared more about her relationship with Gibb, who battled drug addiction during their time together, during an episode of The Talk in October 2019.

"He kept calling me — we had known each other a couple of years and were dating," she said. "One night, he kept calling me and calling me. He was obviously not well. I probably could've done it better, but I just said, 'We're done.' "

Osmond added that while she felt "really bad," she ultimately had had "enough."

"It was something I should have done in person, but it was breaking my heart to see what he was doing to himself," she explained.

Erik Estrada

Osmond has revealed a former relationship with Erik Estrada, however, it is not clear exactly when the pair were together.

She confirmed that they were once a couple during a 2019 appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.

"Did you date Erik Estrada?" host Andy Cohen asked Osmond.

"Yes, I dated a lot of people ... we just never talked about it," she replied. "Yeah, we were ... he was a very nice guy."

Brian Blosil

Osmond met actor Brian Blosil in October 1985 and they wed in October 1986. Their marriage ended in 2007.

The couple had seven children together, including two biological children — Rachael and Matthew — and five adopted children: Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Brianna and Abigail. (Michael died in 2010 at the age of 19.)

In 1998, Osmond and Blosil separated for several months as Osmond dealt with postpartum depression. Although they reconciled, they ultimately divorced in 2007.

"Though our marriage is ending, we continue to have a very amicable relationship," Osmond and Blosil said in a joint statement at the time. "Our marriage has always been a faithful one, and neither of us is assigning fault for the divorce."

Osmond told PEOPLE in 2019 that she rushed into the relationship. "You have to be so careful not to jump into a relationship after you've been through a sad one," she said. "You really need time on your own. And you need to know that you're a good person in order to find a good person."

She said that after her painful divorce from Blosil, she "never wanted to be married again," explaining, "I was like, 'I'm fine, I'm good!' "

She shared more on the marriage, and how she was unhappy, on Winn Claybaugh's Masters podcast in 2020.

"I just went, 'I can't do this anymore,' " Osmond said. "And my children came to me and said, 'Mom, please leave. We gotta get out of here.' "

Osmond also shared on the podcast that her marriage to Blosil suffered after a house fire destroyed their home in August 2005.

"It was probably one of the most freeing things that ever happened to me," she said of the fire. "Because I realized this home I had created was a facade to a marriage that wasn't happy for 20 years. I really believe it was God — they say, 'The burning within.' So sometimes these things happen to wake us up."

Stephen Craig

Osmond met Stephen Craig as a teen, and at 22, they married for the first time in 1982. Less than a year later, the couple welcomed their son Stephen, and Osmond found herself at a crossroads in her personal and professional life.

"Everyone was telling me my career was over," she told PEOPLE. Eventually, the couple "had some trouble" in their marriage, and they divorced in 1985.

"All of a sudden I'm a single mom and I don't know how I'm going to pay my rent, let alone feed my kid," Osmond recalled to PEOPLE. "So I decided I had to get back to work."

She said she later reconnected with Craig through their son Stephen. They reconciled, and married a second time in 2011. They tied the knot at the Las Vegas Mormon Temple and celebrated at a reception at their Nevada home.

At the time, Osmond's brother Donny told Entertainment Tonight, "Despite what has happened in the past, these two people are right for each other. My sister is so happy."

Osmond told PEOPLE that her second marriage to Craig is much different than their first.

"The thing about a second marriage is that you realize things you thought were so important, aren't," she explained in 2019. "I love being with my husband. He is the sweetest man I know. He lives to serve and really listens to people's needs."

Osmond also revealed that their son was a "little scared" of his parents getting back together.

"Stephen was getting married and we [realized] we can't go to our son's wedding and not be married," she told PEOPLE. "So we got married a few months before he did. He joked that he never thought it would happen, but it did!"

Osmond shared more about their marriage during the COVID-19 pandemic on Instagram.

"Steve has diabetes and my immune system isn't the greatest so we felt at our tender ages of 29?? we should isolate ourselves.??," she wrote in a March 2020 post. "After growing up with a large family of brothers and then 36 years of raising my children, I'm enjoying being alone with my husband. ?? It has been a blessing to have that time together especially after being apart for over 25 years!"

The couple enjoys attending BYU football games and spending time in the mountains together.
