Donny and Marie are back together again. In the bad-news department.
Just as ABC was sacking Donny Osmond's new TV show, Marie Osmond was sacking her 20-year marriage.
"Our children, as always our top priority, and in our deep love for them we will continue to jointly fulfill our roles as active parents in their daily lives," Marie Osmond and husband Brian Blosil said in a joint statement Friday, per reports.
The couple described their marriage as a "faithful one," and said neither was "assigning fault for the divorce."
The announcement came the same day ABC ended its relationship with Donny Osmond's The Great American Dream Vote after only two little-watched episodes. The reality show, which was to air Wednesdays at 8 p.m., has been replaced on the network schedule by back-to-back airings of George Lopez.
Unfortunately for Marie Osmond, George Lopez can't do much to plug the hole in the entertainer's domestic life.
The Osmond clan's leading lady wed Blosil, a record producer, in 1986. The two separated in 2000, but reconciled the same year.
The couple are parents to eight children, a brood consisting of Marie Osmond's eldest son from her first marriage, two biological offspring and five adopted children.
Marie Osmond suffered postpartum depression following the birth of her youngest son in 1999. She chronicled her battle in the 2001 memoir, Behind the Smile: My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression.
The family has endured various other dramas in recent years: a 2005 fire to their Utah home; a 2006 hospitalization for Marie that was described as resulting from an "adverse reaction" to medication; rumors that the Osmond-Blosil marriage was on the rocks.
"He knows who I am and he'd love me even if I didn't have tattooed eyeliner, you know?" Marie Osmond said in endorsing Blosil to Entertainment Tonight in 2004. "He's dedicated to me, dedicated to our children, and he loves God, which to me is the most powerful combination in a man."
Marie Osmond previously was wed to Steve Craig, a onetime college basketball player. The three-year union ended in 1985.
The 47-year-old Osmond is a former pop and country chart-topper best known for being a little bit Nashville to brother Donny Osmond's professed Motown tendencies on the 1976-79 variety show, Donny and Marie.
In recent years, Marie Osmond has become the overseer of a porcelain-doll empire. Per her Website, this month's featured glassy-eyed inanimate object is called "Spring Fever."
The way things have been going with her and her brother, "Spring Cleaning" might have been more apt.
