Marie Osmond's Heartfelt Decision to Leave 'The Talk'
After just one season as cohost of the popular CBS show The Talk, Marie Osmond has decided it's time for her to step away. Fans might be surprised by this decision, but Marie has some compelling reasons for making this move. The former star of Donny & Marie revealed that her primary motivation is her desire to spend more quality time with her husband, Steve Craig, and their children. Life moves fast, and for Marie, it’s all about cherishing these moments while she can.
In a candid statement shared with Deadline, the 60-year-old icon explained the reasoning behind her choice. She and Steve recently dropped off their two youngest children at college, marking a significant chapter in their lives. Returning home to an empty nest brought a wave of emotions. “We hadn’t been this alone together since 1982!!” Marie exclaimed. For her, this moment is about embracing a new phase in life. “At this stage, I’m excited to focus on my family—Steve, our kids, and even the grandkids,” she said warmly.
