Osmond continued, “I know many of you met Matthew when he was on the road with me, and I thought you’d like to know. He’s such a wonderful man, and I’m so happy for them.”
She continued her commentary in her Sunday Message, writing, “Yesterday was a very special day, family and friends all gathered for Kaitlynn’s bridal shower. I had to show you the cute theme she chose, ‘She’s Been Scooped Up!’ And yes, we had ice cream. Kaitlynn loves ice cream as much as I do, and yes, I believe it’s the fifth food group.”
The post about the event concluded, “Their story is precious, and it shows that God really is in the details of our lives! He does ‘know them.’ He heard their prayers of faith and manifested His love by helping them find each other.” The entertainer then shared a family photo of Kaitlynn, her mom Jen, Marie, and her son, Matthew.
Matthew is one of Osmond’s eight children, per PEOPLE Magazine. The happy news adds another sweet milestone to Marie’s ever-growing family tree.
Alongside Stephen Jr., whom she shares with her current husband, Stephen Craig Sr., the entertainer is a mother to Rachael, Jessica, Brandon, Brianna, Matthew, and Abigail from her marriage to Brian Blosil. Her late son, Michael, passed away in 2010.
In a 2019 interview with PEOPLE, Osmond said of her children, “They’re all really hard workers and they are kind to each other and they really try hard to be kind to people. Some of my kids are adopted and I can’t remember which ones, but some of them are more like me than my biological and I’m like, ‘I know why God sent you to me!’“
While family is everything to the ’70s icon, she has a firm boundary about her financial legacy. In 2010, the former The Talk host shared that her wealth would go toward helping those in need. She wants her children to create their own paths and discover their own sense of accomplishment.
As her family gets ready to step into this joyful new chapter, her focus stays right where it has always been. She looks forward to celebrating her kids, honoring her family’s deep roots, and welcoming another cherished member into their fold.
