Donny Osmond has shared a heart-warming photo with his wife, Debbie, as he visited Kansas City for his summer tour. The successful singer has been married to his wife for over 40 years, but she keeps herself relatively out of the spotlight.

Sharing a number of photos to his official Instagram account, Donny informed his 389,000 followers that he was visiting his "favourite restaurant" whilst having a catch up with a group of friends.

The first photo shows a group photograph outside the restaurant, which also shows Debbie. The actress first met Donny when they were teenagers and they tied the knot in 1978.

Donny penned: "I'm now in Kansas City and I just ate at my favorite restaurant for barbeque. It's called Q39. If you haven't eaten there yet, you're missing out. Debbie and I had dinner there with our friends Bill, Kathy, Cindy, Dave, Linda, Sue, John and Bob.

"Kelly Magee, the founder, and Randy Piebes, the president just happened to be there as well and they gave me some amazing barbeque rub to take home so I can continue to enjoy the taste of Q39.

"You can tell how much I enjoyed it. I almost ate the bone. If you ever eat there, you must ask for Dwayne. He's an awesome server! Tell him I sent you."

After the pair married, they went on to welcome five children; Donny Jr., Jeremy, Brandon, Chris and Josh. The family has since grown over the years and they now have 14 grand-children.

Although Debbie keeps her life relatively private, she has made a number of sweet appearances over the years. Osmond has often spoken fondly of his wife in interviews and on social media.

He has often praised Debbie for keeping his family stable amid his hectic singing career. During a Valentine's Day tribute in 2020, he penned: "Through the years, Debbie has often had to manage on her own while I've toured and performed on the road. That's a very heavy burden to bear, and I'm deeply grateful for a wife who is my teammate in every sense of the word."

Now that he's part of a huge family, Donny has raved about watching his sons become parents. He told People in 2023: "It's such a wonderful warm feeling to see your child become a parent and to see them raise their own children and to take on the kind of family traditions that Debbie and I have started.

"It's such a great dynamic to see your children grow up to be parents. They graduate into that echelon of life just finding their own feet, finding their own wings."
