Hey there, friends! Let's talk about something that's been tugging at our heartstrings. Marie Osmond, the iconic singer and performer, has asked her fans to keep her new granddaughter in their thoughts. The little one, who recently arrived, is currently not doing so well, and it's breaking hearts all over the world.
On Thursday, May 23, the 59-year-old superstar took to Twitter to share some bittersweet news with her followers. Her daughter, Brianna Blosil Schwep, who's 21, and her husband, Dave Schwep, 42, welcomed a baby girl into the world. But the joyous occasion quickly turned into a moment of concern when the newborn had to be rushed to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It's tough to hear, but the Osmond family is staying strong and grateful.
Marie shared her feelings with a heartfelt tweet: “Asking for prayers for my precious granddaughter born this evening, weighing in at 6lbs 10 ounces. So thankful she was able to be taken to the children’s ICU in one of our amazing @CMNHospitals. #gratitude that she is in their care!” If you haven't already, take a moment to check out the tweet below.

Let me tell you, the outpouring of support has been incredible. Fans wasted no time sending their love and positive vibes. Music host Larry Flick chimed in with, “Prayers and the best wishes. It’s a scary time, but all will be fine. Try to think of this as the beginning of a life story filled with great victories.” Another fan added, “Sending prayers, love, hugs to you, your precious new granddaughter, mom and dad, and your entire family right now. So glad this baby girl is receiving such wonderful care.” It's truly heartwarming to see how the community rallies around during tough times.
What We Know So Far
Marie hasn't shared why her granddaughter was taken to the NICU, but it's worth noting that the baby arrived 10 days late. Brianna is one of eight children that the author of The Key Is Love has. She also has a son, Stephen James, with her first husband, Stephen Craig, and two more children, Rachael and Matthew, with her second husband, Brian Bosil, whom she married after a divorce.
Marie's Expanding Family
Marie and Bosil then welcomed five more children, including Brianna— all adopted. Their names are Jessica, Michael, Brandon, and Abigail. The couple parted ways in 2007, and the “Paper Roses” singer remarried her first husband, Stephen, in 2011. That's quite the family tree, isn't it? It means Briana and Dave have a whole lot of love and support around them.
Final Thoughts
With such a large family, Briana and Dave are sure to receive tons of love and support. Marie has a huge fan base, and it's inspiring to see so many people rally behind her and her family during this time. We wish the little one all the strength and the best possible care as she grows stronger each day. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery and a lifetime of joy ahead!
