When you have nine Osmond siblings, there’s never a dull moment in the family. But the past year has been especially tough for the Osmond clan, with a series of health challenges hitting close to home. In a candid interview, Marie Osmond looked back on what she called a "crazy year" for her family, sharing updates on her brothers and offering a heartfelt message of hope and resilience.

In a recent appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" with host Andy Cohen, Marie, now 59, opened up about the difficulties her family has faced. "My brother Jimmy had a stroke," she revealed. "It's been a crazy year for my family. My brother Tom had a quadruple bypass surgery, my brother Virl had a stroke, Jimmy had a stroke, and Donny had shoulder surgery. But Jimmy is doing okay—we're all praying for him." Her words were filled with gratitude and strength, showing the family's determination to support one another through these tough times.

A Year of Challenges for the Osmond Brothers

Jimmy Osmond, 55, experienced a stroke on December 27 after playing the role of Captain Hook in "Peter Pan" at the Birmingham Hippodrome in England. Despite the shock, his spokesperson shared a hopeful message with the Daily Mail at the time: "On the evening of Thursday, December 27, after pushing through the evening's performance of 'Peter Pan' at Birmingham Hippodrome, Jimmy Osmond was driven straight to the hospital and diagnosed with a stroke. He is grateful for all the well wishes and will be taking time out in the new year." It's a testament to his strength and the love of his family that he's on the road to recovery.

Messages of Love and Support

Following the news of Jimmy's stroke, his siblings rallied around him, sharing their love and support on social media. Donny Osmond, known for his warm and engaging personality, took to Twitter to express his feelings: "Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers on behalf of my little brother. Jimmy, I love you, brother." Marie echoed this sentiment, tweeting simply but powerfully, "Prayers for my brother Jimmy." These heartfelt messages highlight the close bond between the Osmond siblings and the strength they draw from one another during difficult times.
