Donny Osmond, who found galactic success as a teen heartthrob in the 1970s, is as busy today as he was five decades ago.
In 2019, the 66-year-old man ended an 11-year Las Vegas residency with his sister Marie and returned to Harrah’s Hotel and Casino, headlining his first solo residency, which he resumes in the fall of 2024.
After stepping on the stage for the show, where he takes audiences on a “dynamic, energy-filled musical journey of his unparalleled life,” Osmond flies out to the UK for a limited run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
The TV host wowed live theatre audiences with his performance as Joseph in the hit musical that ran from 1992 to 1998, and this time, he’s taking on the role of Pharaoh.
“I always knew I would return to ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,’” Osmond said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “Having starred as Joseph in over 2,000 performances in this magical musical, I am now ready to channel my inner Elvis and assume the role of Pharaoh in Edinburgh starting this December [2024].”
But before any of that happens, he’s spending the summer, taking the “Direct from Las Vegas” show to venues across North America.
Giant peacock
With a packed schedule that keeps him from the large family he built with wife Debra (married in 1978), the musician carves out time to spend with his five sons and 14 grandchildren.
Speaking with People, Osmond earlier explained that regardless of how busy he is, family always comes first.
“That’s what balances my life out. Family is the most important thing, because the curtain will come down eventually, and then what do you have?”
Offering fans a glimpse into how he spent the days leading up to his tour, Osmond – who was disguised as a peacock in the first season of Masked Singer – shаrеd an image on his Instagram, where he’s seen in the pool with the grandchildren and a giant inflatable peacock.
He captions the post, “Enjoying a final swim at home with my grandkids before the long US summer tour begins this Friday in Milwaukee. By the way, thanks to Sue Pearson from Leeds in the UK who gave me that inflatable peacock during my tour over there. We’ve had so much fun with it. Speaking of fun, I’ll see you all real soon on my US summer tour.”
Osmond’s loyal followers jumped into the comments section praising the family man, as well as sharing their excitement over his tour.
One netizen writes, “So this is how you stay looking young Donny, your happiness and precious family makes you smile, and that is why you’re always happy on stage.” A second, gushing over the kids, shаrеs: “What a beautiful pictures of you and your grandbabies. Can’t wait to see you [in] Louisville.”
“Can’t wait for this summer tour. Rest up…what is it 41 venues? Wow! Donny What a historic US Tour. So exciting! See you in Connecticut,” adds a third.
Meanwhile, some fans zoned in on the peacock and referenced it to his appearance on Masked Singer. “Love the peacock…you should have won!!!!” one writes.

I Received a Hidden Camera Video from My Husband’s Secretary
Sabrina thought that her 12-year marriage to Mark was perfect, until an email from his secretary revealed a shocking secret. Hidden camera footage exposing a double life… Fueled by heartbreak and betrayal, Sabrina devises a plan to make Mark face the truth, and pay for his lies.
I’ve been married to Mark for 12 years, and until last week, I thought we had a perfect life. We don’t have kids yet, but I figured we were just focusing on our careers and would start a family when the time was right.
He’s hardworking, successful, and charming, the kind of man who makes everything effortless. Perfect, right?

But perfection is a fragile thing.
And last week, it shattered.
It started with an email.
The sender was Emma, Mark’s secretary. We’d met a few times at office parties, and she always seemed polite and professional. When I saw her name in my inbox, I didn’t think much about it.

“She’s probably reminding me about some office brunch or something,” I muttered as the email opened.
But then I read the subject line:
You need to see this.
My heart dropped into my stomach. The email itself was short, almost apologetic:

Sabrina, I’ve debated whether to send this for months. Mark’s a good boss, but I can’t keep this to myself anymore. You deserve to know the truth.
Attached was a video file.
I hesitated.
What could she possibly have to show me? A work issue? A personal confession? A recording of Mark doing something stupid at a holiday party?

“Don’t jump to conclusions, Brina,” I told myself, but my hands were shaking as I clicked play.
The video was grainy, the kind of security footage you’d expect from an office. The timestamp showed it was a Sunday, a day when Mark was never supposed to be there.
At first, nothing seemed unusual.
The camera caught him walking into his office, dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt. But then two small figures appeared in the frame.

A little boy and a little girl.
I froze, my jaw open.
The children looked about four and six. Their faces lit up as they followed him inside the office, and when he sat down on the couch, he opened his arms to them.
He hugged them like he’d missed them all week. Then he pulled out toys and snacks from his bag, chatting with them and laughing in a way that felt heartbreakingly familiar.

But these weren’t just random kids.
They were his.
They had to be… or at least very closely related. The boy had Mark’s eyes and nose, and the little girl had his chin down to a tee.
I stared at the screen, my mind racing. We didn’t have kids. We didn’t have any immediate nieces or nephews. How on earth could Mark be acting so naturally, so lovingly, with these children if they weren’t his?

And if they were his, then who was their mother?
The video ended, leaving me in stunned silence.
Mark had a secret family. My husband had a secret family.
For days, I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t have an appetite, and sleep was filled with dreams of random children showing up at our home, demanding Mark’s attention.

Even during the day, whenever I had a free moment, my mind would go back to the video. To the way he looked at those kids, and the easy affection between them.
I wanted to confront him immediately. I wanted to scream. To demand answers.
But instead, I called a lawyer. I just needed to know what the repercussions would be if Mark really did have another family.
Did it mean that our marriage was legal? Was he married to me or to the mother of his kids?

Then, I called a few of my close friends, the ones who always showed up.
“Sabrina, of course, anything you need,” were the usual replies, drenched in sympathy.
But they helped me pull myself together and come up with a plan. One evening, we all met at Hayley’s, my closest friend’s, house.
“He’s a lying, cheating, backstabbing…” she began.

“Enough, Hayley,” I said. “I share the sentiments, but we need proof, you know.”
“What else do we need, Brina?” she sighed, pouring us glasses of wine. “Isn’t that footage damning enough?”
“It is, but I need to know everything. I’m not going to forgive him if those kids are his, but at the same time, I just need all the information.”
Mark didn’t just break my heart. He broke our marriage vows, our trust, and the life we’d built together. He was going to pay for it. Not just emotionally, but financially, too.

I pretended that everything was normal.
For a week, I played the part of the oblivious wife. I smiled, laughed, cooked whatever he wanted to eat. I kissed him goodnight, and waited for the right moment.
That moment came on a Friday evening.

“Mark,” I said, curling up next to him on the couch. “We haven’t gone out for a proper date night in ages. Let’s go to our favorite restaurant tomorrow.”
His face lit up.
“That’s a great idea, babe. I’ll make the reservation. Don’t you worry about a thing. You just dress up and look pretty.”
“I’ve already made the reservation,” I said, smiling sweetly, digging into my warm cinnamon bun.

But what Mark didn’t know was that I’d been doing some digging. Using the contact information from my lawyer, we found records of regular payments he was making to a woman named Sarah.
With a little online sleuthing, I found her social media and pieced together the truth.
Sarah.
Sarah was Mark’s girlfriend, and the mother of his children. It was confirmed. Those beautiful, happy kids… were his.

Mark was a father.
Through some clever messaging (me pretending to be Mark), I convinced Sarah to meet me at the restaurant, along with the kids. I kept the texts vague and in Mark’s usual style.
Let’s meet at the restaurant tomorrow. Bring the kids, it’ll be a nice surprise dinner for him.
Poor thing, she didn’t suspect a thing.

The next evening, Mark and I walked into the restaurant, hand in hand. He looked relaxed, confident, like a man who thought he had his life perfectly under control.
Then he saw Sarah and the kids sitting at the table.
His hand went limp in mine. His face drained of color. For a moment, he just stood there, frozen, like a deer in headlights.

“Mark,” I said brightly, gesturing toward the table. “Aren’t you going to introduce me?”
He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Sarah looked confused, glancing between the two of us. The kids just stared, too young to understand the tension.
“I’m Sabrina,” I said, turning to Sarah. “Mark’s wife…”
Sarah’s face crumpled in shock.

“What? Really? He told me that you were divorced!”
I slid the divorce papers onto the table.
“Surprise, babe,” I said, keeping my voice low and steady. “You’re going to sign these. And don’t even think about fighting me on it.”
Mark stammered, trying to explain.
“Sabrina, Brina… please, I was going to tell you!”

“Tell me what?” I snapped, cutting him off. “That you’ve been lying to me for years? That you’ve been supporting a secret family behind my back? That those kids are yours?”
The restaurant had gone completely silent. Diners were watching, but I didn’t care.
I turned to Sarah.
“I’m so sorry that you and these beautiful children got caught up in Mark’s lies. But now you know the truth.”

Sarah grabbed the kids and stormed out, her face a mix of fury and ultimate heartbreak. Mark didn’t even try to stop her.
“You disgust me,” I said to him before walking out, leaving him to deal with the aftermath.
The divorce was brutal. For Mark.

With the help of my lawyer, I made sure I got half of everything, including the beach house he’d been secretly planning to “surprise” Sarah with.
His double life unraveled completely. Sarah dumped him, and his reputation at work took a nosedive once word got out. Emma even quit, unable to work for someone she no longer respected.
As for me?
I walked away with my dignity, my freedom, and a fresh start.

Mark thought he could juggle two lives without consequences. He thought that I’d never find out. But honestly, how could I have been so stupid?
Mark always worked longer hours than most people I knew. And his boss was often sending him on business trips. Or so he said.
So, every time my husband had walked out the door for “work” on weekends or over the holidays, he was really just seeing his other family.

The thought made me sick. For years, I had been sitting and waiting in the wings. I had been waiting for Mark to tell me that he was ready to start having children.
And all for what?
Absolutely nothing.
Now, I live in a studio apartment, with a new black cat, like my namesake. And I’m trying to figure out how to reclaim my life, once and for all.

I thought about getting revenge. But what good would that do? If anything, I just feel sorry for Mark and Sarah’s children. I still remember their smiles when they saw Mark. They had no business being sucked into this mess.
But that’s on Mark. And Sarah.
