Marie Osmond couldn't be prouder!

The '70s teen idol and actress, now 66, took to her social media page to introduce her fans and followers to a brand new member of her growing family.

Marie Osmond's new family addition

"I'd like you all to meet Kaitlynn; she's absolutely adorable, and she's my son Matthew's fiancée," she gushed alongside a photo of her soon-to-be daughter-in-law with a sign from the bridal shower that read "She's Been Scooped Up." Marie continued: "We couldn't love her more!!!"

She added: "I know many of you met Matthew when he was on the road with me, and I thought you'd like to know. He's such a wonderful man, and I'm so happy for them."

"Yesterday was a very special day, family and friends all gathered for Kaitlynn's bridal shower," Marie gushed, later going into greater detail on her blog, Sunday Messages, also including a photo of Kaitlynn's mother.

"Their story is precious, and it shows that God really is in the details of our lives! He does 'know them.' He heard their prayers of faith and manifested His love by helping them find each other," Marie penned. Fans took to the comments section of her post and inundated her and the happy couple with congratulatory messages.

Marie Osmond's three marriages to two husbands

The Donny & Marie star herself has been married three times, although twice to the same man. In 1982, she tied the knot with Stephen Lyle "Steve" Craig, then a university basketball player.

The couple welcomed a son together before divorcing in 1985, citing their young age. It wasn't long, however, until Marie found love once again, this time with record producer Brian Blosil. The pair tied the knot in 1986.

Brian appeared in a few movies and TV shows during their time together, including in his wife's music video for "I Only Wanted You" before they filed for divorce in 2007 after 21 years of marriage.

However, in 2011, Marie remarried Steve, over 30 years after their divorce. The couple had reconnected when their son arranged for them to meet, and secretly dated for two years before revealing it to the world, or their family. "I didn't want anybody to get hurt, you know if it didn't work out. And gosh, it just worked out," Marie told Good Morning America at the time.

Meet Marie Osmond's eight kids

In 1983, Marie and Steve welcomed their first and only child together, a son named Stephen James Craig Jr. Steve Jr. has since become a father as well, now a proud dad-of-four.

Marie and Brian share seven kids together, two of them biological and the other five adopted. They welcomed a daughter named Rachael in 1989 and a son named Matthew in 1999.

Together, they adopted daughters Jessica (born in 1987), Brianna (born in 1997), and Abigail (born in 2002), and sons Michael (born in 1991) and Brandon (born in 1996). Michael tragically committed suicide in 2010 at the age of 18.
