Donny and Marie Osmond's Siblings: All About Their Brothers
Donny Osmond and Marie Osmond come from a large, loving family.
The iconic sibling duo have seven brothers: Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy. All nine children were born to George Virl Osmond and Olive May and were raised in Utah as active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
