How many marriages has Marie Osmond had?

The actress married three times, though two of Marie Osmond's marriages were with the same husband. According to Daily Mail, after Osmond divorced Steve in 1985, she married record producer Brian Blosil in 1986.

Marie's union with the record producer resulted in seven children: Rachael, Jessica, Michael, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew, and Abigail. Michael, an adopted child, is now late as he committed suicide at the age of 18. He suffered from depression before the incident.

Unfortunately, Brian Blosil and Marie Osmond's relationship hit rock bottom in 2007, and she experienced her second divorce. After the second divorce, she remarried her first husband, Steve.

Sharing her experience during an interview session, as published on First For Women, she said the following:

I feel like I got a gift, in a very weird way. A lot of my friends are now empty-nesters like me, and they are looking at their spouses and going, ‘Do I like you?’ It’s like, ‘wait a minute…why did we get married in the first place?’ Unfortunately, you go down this life and you cross periodically and then all of a sudden you are in each other’s lives again [after the kids are gone], and it’s like you need to start dating.
