Marie Osmond opens up about being grandmother of eight grandchildren and says it’s like ‘putting your children on steroids’

Marie Osmond said she was a grandmother to her eight grandchildren.

The 64-year-old singer made his appearance on Wednesday The Drew Barrymore Show and said that having grandchildren is even better than having children.

“I thought I would never love anything as much as I love my children,” she told Barrymore, 49, on her show about her surprise at how much she enjoys being a grandmother.

“Oh my god, grandkids are like having kids [but] on steroids,” she said. “I mean, it’s just so cool. I can’t even tell you.’

The Paper Roses hitmaker – who told DailyMail.com exclusively earlier this year that she tries to stay in shape for her family – said that as a mother she has a lot more responsibility, but as a grandmother she can do “anything I want”.

On Wednesday, the 64-year-old singer appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and said that having grandchildren is even better than having children.

“And as a parent you have to guide them,” she explained. “You’re not their friend; you are their parents.

“If you’re the grandma, who cares? “I can do anything I want,” she said.

In the talk show she talked about remarriage to her first husband Stephen Craig Sr. and said they prioritize spending time with their grandchildren.

Osmond and her first husband share son Stephen Jr., 40.

She shares seven children with her ex-husband Brian Blosil. She and her second husband share four daughters: Jessica, 36, Rachael, 34, Brianna, 25, and Abigail, 20.

They also share sons Brandon, 27, Matthew, 24, and Michael, who committed suicide at the age of 19.

Osmond is the grandmother of a total of eight grandchildren.

Earlier this year, in February, she exclusively told DailyMail.com that she keeps fit to keep up with them.

“When I get to the end of my life, I want to spend time with my family,” she said.

“One of the reasons I stay in good shape is because I want to go cycling with my grandchildren,” she told DailyMail.com.

“I want to be the fun grandma and you can’t do that if you’re not feeling well,” she added.

“Those are my priorities for me,” she continued. “I want my grandchildren to know me – the real me, not the Marie Osmond they see on TV – but I want them to know who I am and that’s a real-time commitment.”
