"I haven't posted since our son Matthew and his beautiful bride, Kaitlynn, got married. I asked her if I could post a couple of photos from that day. I thought it was so sweet that she sent me this one of Matthew and me!"

Marie looked amazing in a stunning, floor-length gown, and with her raven locks worn loose around her shoulders. 

Fans said she looked "incredible" and asked her secrets to her youthful looks.

Marie still looks amazing

Marie has eight kids but has defended her decision not to give them her inheritance, revealing that she wants to enable them to "try to be something".

The singer revealed in 2020 that she had no plans to hand her offspring any of her fortune after decades performing with her brothers including Donny Osmond. 

"Honestly, why would you enable your child to not try to be something? I don’t know anybody who becomes anything if they’re just handed money."

Marie hopes her kids will carve out their own career like she and her siblings did

"To me, the greatest gift you can give your child is a passion to search out who they are inside and to work," she told Us Weekly.

"I mean, I’ve done so many things from designing dolls [and much more]. I love trying, I wanna try everything. I’m a finisher."

Speaking on The Talk in 2020 Marie revealed she planned to give her money to charity. She is one of the founders of the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals which help sick and injured children across over 170 hospitals.

She said that her decision had come from personal experience, revealing her family "fought over a mirror and a table when [my aunt and uncle] passed away".
