Osmond has been married and divorced twice and has eight children in total from the two marriages. She married her first husband Stephen Craig, a Brigham Young University basketball player, in 1982. They were married in an LDS temple wedding ceremony. They had one child, Stephen James Craig who was born on April 20, 1983 and was later adopted by Osmond's second husband Brian Blosil. Osmond and Craig divorced in the mid 1980s.
On October 28, 1986 Osmond married Brian Blosil, also in an LDS temple. While married to Blosil, Osmond had two more children, Rachael Lauren (b. 1989) and Matthew Richard (b. 1999). They also adopted five children: Jessica Marie (b. 1987), Michael Brian (1991-2010), Brandon Warren (b. 1997), Brianna Patricia (b. 1998), and Abigail Michelle (b. 2002).
In 1999, Osmond revealed that she had suffered from severe postpartum depression.[5] She co-authored a book called Behind the Smile with Marcia Wilkie and Dr. Judith Moore which chronicles her experiences with postpartum depression. In August 2006, it was suggested by several U.S. tabloids that she had attempted suicide. These reports were denied by her publicity team, which claimed she had suffered an adverse reaction to a medication she was taking.[6]
On March 30, 2007, Osmond and Blosil announced they were divorcing.[7]
On November 14, 2007, MSNBC reported [8] that Osmond's 16-year-old son, Michael, had entered rehab. The news was confirmed the same night by Osmond to Larry King during a taping of his show Larry King Live.
As of April 29, 2009, Osmond revealed that her oldest daughter, Jessica, is a lesbian and had been living with her girlfriend for the past three years in Los Angeles. This goes against her Mormon faith, but she has stated she will do whatever it takes to make her children happy.[9]
On February 26, 2010, Osmond's adopted son Michael committed suicide, by jumping to his death.[10] Michael leapt from the eighth floor of his apartment building in Los Angeles, California. He had reportedly battled severe depression for most of his life and had been in rehabilitation at the age of 16.[11]
