Marie Osmond who married multiple times in her life exchanged vows with her current husband two times three decades apart. They are living blissfully in the meantime, but it was not always the case for this duo as they faced some differences they were unable to resolve, leading to a brief married life that ended pretty soon.
Marie Osmond's Current Married Life
Marie Osmond is married to her husband Stephen Lyle Craig. Interestingly, they married not once but twice.
Steve is, in fact, Marie's first as well as her third husband. We'll get to in a bit who her second husband is. Meanwhile, the couple's first marriage took place in 1982.
This duo remained married for merely three years as they ended up divorcing in 1985. Decades later, the couple reconciled and tied the knot again on 4th May 2011 in Las Vegas.
It all began for this pair when they first met five years prior to their wedding. The couple dated 18 months before sharing their wedding vows for the first time on 26th June 1982.
The duo welcomed their first child, a son named Stephen James Craig on 20th April 1983. Marie then filed a divorce in October 1985 citing "mental cruelty".
In a 2010 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Marie revealed Steve always wanted to have a family and travel the entire world. She went through mental trauma after one of her adopted son Michael Bryan took his own life at the mere age of 19.
Bryan committed suicide in February 2010 when he jumped from the eighth floor of his apartment building in Los Angeles.
Merely a year later after her son's death, the former married couple reconciled their differences and ended up re-exchanging their wedding vows on 4th May 2011 in Las Vegas.
The pair's son Stephen was crucial in getting back his parents together. Marie later revealed she chose the 4th of May as her big day in the memory of her deceased son and her mother. She reportedly wanted them to be present at the wedding in spirit.
The ceremony was held at a Mormon temple. The subsequent reception took place at their home in Nevada. Noticeably, Marie wore the same wedding dress designed by Ret Turner that she had put on nearly three decades ago during her first wedding with the same man.

Both parties felt marriage and commitment were too big for them, turning them skeptic whether they were ready for the big steps. This resulted in their relationship ending prematurely.
Osmond later revealed she was in the prime of her career and marriage would have robbed her off from achieving her further successes. She claimed balancing her personal life with her professional career was a huge challenge at the time which she was not ready to face it up yet.
