And [my brother] Jay took Debbie out. We went on a double date to an Elton John concert. And I vividly remember when Elton sat down at the piano to sing ‘Your Song.’ I looked over at my brother’s date and thought to myself, ‘I think I’m going to marry that girl someday.’ And I did.” Osmond said he later told Elton John the story.“I said, ‘You’re responsible for my marriage.’ He thought that was kind of funny.”The 67-year-old also revealed that the couple crossed paths in childhood.“I actually met her when she was 3.

So I’ve literally known her all my life,” he said. The entertainer was traveling through Billings, Montana, where Debbie was born, with his brothers and Andy Williams, and they were at the airport during a layover.“Her family happened to be at the airport waiting for her uncle.

And they said, ‘Oh, those are those little Osmond boys on the “Andy Williams Show,”’ and they got our autograph. So I met her when she was 3 and I was 5.”The couple married in 1978 and have five children: Don, Jeremy, Brandon, Chris, and Josh.“It’s a lifetime of bliss.
