“Debbie so graciously decided to surprise everyone at the Goin Coconuts Luau! As you know she made an appearance at the end of the Goin Coconuts movie and so it only made sense for her to join us for the festivities. Personally, she was the best thing in the movie!” Donny gushed alongside a carousel of images featuring his gorgeous wife.

Social media users were quick to compliment Debbie in the comment section. “What is her secret to such gorgeous skin?!” mused a fan, while another noted, “She is classy, beautiful, nice AND kind to the fans. Appreciate your kindness to your fans after all these years. Inspiring as a couple.”

Even though Debbie is 65, her age-defying look didn’t go unnoticed either. “And she looks the same after all these years!!” an Instragrammer exclaimed, seconded by the comment of another, “She still looks the same. A true beauty inside and out.”

No one, however, finds Debbie more beautiful than Donny Osmond, who calls her the “absolute love” of his life.

“I’ve never met someone who personifies beauty like Debbie does. Anyone who knows her would agree that she glows wherever she goes.✨ And perhaps the best part of all – her mind and heart are just as radiantly beautiful as she is on the outside,” Donny wrote in celebration of her birthday in 2019.
While the couple keep their relationship and home life out of the public eye, Donny has given some insights into their lasting love.

“I want to publicly express my gratitude for the irreplaceable influence Debbie continues to be in my life. She’s not only the love of my life, but she’s also my best friend and greatest confidant,” he gushed on Valentine’s Day in 2020.

“Between raising our five sons, running the show at home, enjoying time with our grandchildren and running a business as well, I really don’t know how she manages to do it all,” Donny concluded his tribute to Debbie.
Over the years, Debbie often managed solo while Donny toured, and she became the glue that held their family together. He loves her with all his heart and has never strayed, even when he’s had the opportunity to.
“I work in Las Vegas. The temptations there are great,” Donny once said in an interview.
Because they faced this challenge head-on, the pair, who met when Donny was still a teen idol, decided to live far away from those temptations. Debbie and Donnie settled in Utah where they could raise their four sons away from Hollywood’s glare.
“Our relationship and our home life is not an open book. My career is. But what happens in our home and how we raise our children, and how we treat each other, is pretty sacred. It belongs to us and that’s all,” Donny elaborated.

Trust is a big reason the couple have managed a successful marriage for so many years, as Debbie added, “I think that’s part of the reason why our marriage is really strong – because I really trust him. It is difficult. I mean, we’ve spent a lot of time apart and – I don’t know – maybe that’s been a good thing!”
There is another reason Donny and Debbie’s union is still going strong.

“We work very hard. A successful marriage doesn’t just happen. I don’t want to paint the picture that we are just Pollyanna-ish, or very lucky. We’ve had challenges and arguments over the years. But at some point you have to ask, is it really worth falling out over, or is my ego getting in the way of having to be right?” Donny explained.
When they hit 35 years of marriage, Debbie showed that she too believed in continuously working to keep their relationship strong, and wanted to go to marriage guidance classes. As Donny said, “Family first. Always.”
The couple also showed the sweeter side of their relationship earlier this year with a loved-up snap. As we reported in January 2024, the entertainer posted a black-and-white images of them, and once again fans took to the post’s comment section with sweet messages.
His caption detailed a giveaway the couple is doing for those who are lucky enough to enjoy a lavish dinner at Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen for Valentine’s Day. Fans stand a chance to win should they attend the couple’s Valentine’s Day pre-show.
Those who saw the picture of Donny and Debbie showered them with compliments. Of the couple and the giveaway competition they are orchestrating, one fan praised: “Donny/Debbie, a beautiful photo of you both…Such a lovely giveaway from you both, amazing; thank you so much.” Another gushed: “❤️ He and Debbie are an amazing and beautiful example of love.”
Similarly, another fan said: “You guys are an inspiration. Beautiful couple. Much love and all the best to you and your residency and family 😍❤️.” Someone else expressed: “Oh my goodness!!! That’s the sweetest photo I’ve seen of you two gorgeous people 🥰🥰🥰Xx.”
The happy pair, who fans can’t stop swooning over, are still going strong and will reach an incredible milestone of being married for 46 years this year.
