Let me tell you something, folks. Have you ever thought about what it's like to be the sibling of a superstar? Well, Marie Osmond must feel like the luckiest person alive because her brothers—Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay—pulled out all the stops to celebrate her 60th birthday. On Sunday, October 13, these brothers came together to create a truly touching video tribute for their beloved sister. The video aired the following day on The Talk, and it gave us all a peek into what it's like growing up with Marie and why they adore her so much.
Jay Osmond's Words of Admiration
Let’s start with Jay Osmond, the eldest of the bunch at 64 years old. In the video, he couldn’t help but joke that he’s “Marie’s favorite.” But when it came to serious talk, Jay had nothing but heartfelt words for his sister. “I think the greatest compliment I can give my sister is that she’s so much like our mother,” Jay said. He went on to explain, “She’s not only a wonderful wife but she’s a great mother to her kids and a wonderful grandmother.” Talk about sibling pride, right? That’s the kind of love that keeps a family strong through thick and thin.
Alan Osmond's Perspective
But wait, there's more! Alan Osmond, now 70 years old, also shared his thoughts on Marie's caring nature. “She cares and loves others. She’s always giving to others before giving to herself,” Alan said. He couldn’t hide his pride in what Marie has brought to their family. “She brought in a sense of class and beauty to our family and she is the jewel on top of the tree,” Alan added. It’s clear that Marie isn’t just a sister; she’s an inspiration to her entire family.

Brotherly Love and Birthday Wishes
After everyone had a chance to express their feelings about Marie, they each took a moment to wish her a happy birthday. Jay was the first to step up, saying, “Happy birthday, little sis! You’ve been a wonderful sister and a second mother and I appreciate you so much. We’re proud of her.” That’s the kind of sentiment that warms your heart, isn’t it?
Next up was Merrill, 66, who couldn’t help but express his deep affection for his sister. “You’re precious to me and I love you with all of my heart. Don’t ever change! You’re changing the world,” he said. Talk about a heartfelt message that speaks volumes about the bond they share.
Wayne, 68, also chimed in with some light-hearted humor. “I have always loved being your big sister,” he joked, letting out a big laugh. But behind the laughter, you could tell how much he adores his sister.
A Special Memory: The Day Marie Was Born
One of the most touching moments in the video was when the family reminisced about the day Marie was born. “We always wanted a little sister so when she showed up it was the greatest time in our lives because she was our little princess,” Merrill recalled. Alan then continued the story, saying, “There were seven brothers at the time and we went to the hospital after we found out it was a little girl. We sang outside the hospital. My mother held Marie out the window as we sang, ‘I want a girl. Just like the girl that married dear old dad.’” It’s moments like these that remind us how special family bonds can be.
Marie Osmond truly has the best siblings in the world, and it’s heartwarming to see how much they cherish her. These brothers didn’t just celebrate her birthday; they celebrated the person she is and the impact she’s had on their lives.
