Another Osmond family member is making quite a name for himself.
Donny Osmond shared his honest reaction to nephew Jared Osmond making waves on the current fifth season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City amid his rocky on-again, off-again romance with new cast member Britani Bateman.
"I understand it's a little bit risqué, but to each his own," Donny exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi. "I haven't watched it, but good for him. There's a lot of Osmonds." (Watch E! News tonight, Nov. 4, at 11 p.m. for more of our exclusive interview with Donny.)
While Donny may not be keeping up with his nephew's messy love life on the Bravo reality series, he joked it's hard staying in touch with every member of his very large famous family.
"Let's put it like this: When there's a family reunion, the whole state of Utah comes together," the singer added. "That's how big it is."
But Jared isn't the first Osmond clan member to foray into reality TV. In fact, Donny's own son Chris Osmond placed third of season two of ABC's reality competition series Claim to Fame last year.
"I thought he should have won," the Donny & Marie alum noted. "He was the best part of the show in my opinion. There's all kinds of Osmonds out there."
Meanwhile, Donny is plenty busy with his extended Las Vegas residency at Harrah's Hotel and Casino, which recently snagged an impressive accolade.
"Can I just be egotistical right now? I was voted the greatest headliner of Las Vegas," he shared. "It just sounds so cool to even say that because of how many artists and acts are in Las Vegas. I was just couldn't believe it. But we put forth so much effort. I have such great dancers, a great band, great crew. We've worked so hard on this on this show. This is our fourth year in, and we got the award."
