The Five Sons of Donny and Debbie Osmond
Donny and Debbie Osmond’s five sons—Donald Jr., Jeremy, Brandon, Christopher, and Joshua—have each carved out distinctive and successful careers for themselves, reflecting a blend of their father's creative spirit and a strong desire for personal privacy.1. Donald Clark Osmond Jr. (Don Jr.)
Don Jr. is the eldest son, born on July 31, 1979. Unlike his father, he was born after Donny's peak as a teen idol, allowing him to grow up with a slightly different perspective on the family’s fame. Don Jr. has successfully pursued a career in the business world and is known to run his own business. He has largely kept his life out of the public eye, focusing on his professional endeavors and family.
2. Jeremy James Osmond
Born in June 1981, Jeremy Osmond is the second son. Jeremy famously took a path completely separate from the arts, establishing a career in the healthcare field. He studied Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Utah and went on to earn his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Jeremy’s choice of profession demonstrates the family's diverse interests and his commitment to a service-oriented career. He has also been described by his father as the most "rebellious" of the sons during his younger years.
3. Brandon Michael Osmond
Brandon Osmond, born in 1985, has found his niche in the creative field. He is a family man, happily married and a father to four children, contributing significantly to Donny and Debbie’s growing number of grandchildren. Brandon has established a career working with various high-profile clients on creative projects, including Sprint, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Fidelity Investments, showcasing his talent in a professional, non-performing capacity.
4. Christopher Glenn Osmond (Chris)
Born in December 1990, Chris Osmond is the son who most directly inherited his father's musical talents. Chris expressed an interest in music from a young age, learning the piano and becoming a DJ as a teenager. He has actively pursued a career in the music industry, making a name for himself as a musician and performer. Chris married his wife, Alta, in 2017, and the couple has two children, adding to the family's third generation.
5. Joshua Davis Osmond (Josh)
Joshua "Josh" Osmond is the youngest of the five sons. Like his older brothers, Josh has chosen a life off the celebrity radar, focusing on his own personal and professional interests. He gained attention when he married his wife, Summer, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, having to cancel their original wedding plans and opting for a more intimate ceremony. Josh’s life is a testament to the Osmond sons' ability to maintain privacy despite their famous lineage.

The arrival of the 16th grandchild was shared as a "huge family update" by Donny on his social media, highlighting the immense joy and focus on family that he and Debbie share. This large family size is a continuation of the Osmond family tradition, though Donny has often spoken about the unique joy of being a grandfather (or "Grandpa Don") compared to being a father.A Look at the Third Generation
