Jessica Marie Blosil
Jessica is the first child of Marie and her now ex-husband Brian, who was adopted nearly two years after her birth (December 17, 1987). Unlike her mother, Jessica prefers to stay out of the spotlight and works as a police officer and counselor in Provo, Utah.

Marie has been a long-time supporter of her daughter and celebrated their union on July 7, 2019 with a sweet photo Instagram. “Happy birthday to my beloved daughter Jessica and her new wife Sara!” she exclaimed. “I’m so glad I was allowed to fly in for the day to be separated from such a happy occasion! I couldn’t love you both more! Welcome to our family!”
Rachel Lauren Blosil
Rachel was Marie and Brian’s first biological child, born on August 19, 1989.

Michael Blossil

Brandon Warren Blosil
Marie and Brian adopted Brian when he was a baby and his birthday is said to be in November 1996. Although Brandon followed in his mother’s footsteps some by going into the music business, his band, Navarre, isn’t exactly Osmond Family style.

Brianna Patricia Blosil
Another adopted child, Brianna was born on November 19, 1997 and currently works as a makeup artist.

I love you so much!!!!”, Marie enthused in one Instagram post.

Unlike her older siblings, Abigail is still enjoying her younger years and recently finished her senior year of high school in 2021. While she may not have as many responsibilities as her still brothers and sisters, 2007 saw Abigail face some tensions within of the family when Marie and Brian decided to go their separate ways.
As previously mentioned, Marie married her first husband, Steve, who, according to the “Paper Roses” singer, fills the role of stepdad pretty well. “I know I will never find anyone I love or respect more than Steve. I’m so happy and looking forward to sharing my life with Stephen who is a great man and a great father to my children,” she previously said Weekly closer.
