The well-known singer and adored TV personality Marie Osmond has caused quite a stir with her latest fashion change.
The 64-year-old celebrity, who is well-known for her signature brunette locks, shocked admirers recently by revealing a gorgeous new hairstyle in a video.
See how she’s rocking her new style by reading on!
Marie’s admirers commented on her new hairstyle on social media after she recently shared an Instagram photo of it.
One fan said, “Wow, you look like a whole different person!” while another questioned, “Oh my Marie, why the drastic change?”
If I ran into you as a blonde, I’m not sure if I would even know you. One user said, “You look like a completely different person [sic].” “She’s absolutely not blonde! Another person said, “It’s fun to change your hair color, and I’m sure it’s just a wig.”
But for Marie, this makeover is about embracing a brand-new appearance rather than just getting a new hair color! Before having her hair done, she stated in an interview with Closer Weekly, “If my hair gets really, really gray and I can’t dye it black anymore, I’ll go blonde!”
Marie talked candidly about the difficulties in doing hair care at home during the pandemic. She used online consultations with her hairstylist to get advice because salons were closed.
“I asked her how it looked when I gave her a call. and she responds, “You really can’t do hair, isn’t that right?” Marie told ET Online about it.
Marie said that her hairstylist, who helped her through the process, had been her lifeline during that period. She helped me work through this. Marie clarified, “Now you pull it over your grays and then they can’t see it.” She made me put everything front in a ponytail.
The always upbeat Marie claimed that she had truly enjoyed the experience of experimenting despite the few difficulties. It’s enjoyable as there are numerous methods for hiding items and achieving time and money savings, she thought.
One comment on her new blonde hairstyle stuck out among the others: “Oh my God! Is that truly what you done to your hair?
One more commenter said, “Blonde is not you.”
Nevertheless, there were encouraging remarks among the differing viewpoints. One fan wrote, reassuringly, “I’m surprised so many people are criticizing the blonde look. You look amazing! Disregard those who are critical of you.
One thing is certain, though: Marie’s appeal to followers and viewers will never fade, whether her blonde hair is a passing fad or a permanent alteration!

I Overheard My Husband Talking To My MIL About $10,000 and Our 3-Year-Old — What They Planned Shocked Me to My Core
They say betrayal doesn’t always come from enemies. Sometimes, it comes from the people you trust most. One night, I overheard my husband talking to his mother about our 3-year-old son — followed by a price tag. My blood ran cold as I unraveled what they were planning to do to my child behind my back.
Have you ever had a moment where everything you thought was solid suddenly felt like quicksand? When the people you trusted most revealed themselves to be complete strangers? That happened to me one Tuesday night, and I’m still shaking as I write this.

Six years ago, I met Nathan during my final year of university. He was charming, kind, and seemed to understand me in a way no one else did. We had one of those whirlwind romances — the kind where you stay up all night talking, where every touch feels electric, and where you can’t imagine ever being with anyone else. Within a year, we were married.
I remember the night he proposed. We were walking through the park where we first met, and he turned to me with tears in his eyes.
“Amelia,” he whispered, “you make the world make sense. Before you, everything was just… noise. But now?” He dropped to one knee. “Now I hear music everywhere I go.”
My hands trembled as I said yes. If only I’d known then that the music would turn to discord.

When our son Leo was born three years ago, I thought our life was complete. Sure, we had our struggles like any couple, but nothing major. At least, that’s what I told myself. Looking back, I should have seen the red flags, especially when it came to Nathan’s mother, Susie.
She moved in with us right after Leo’s birth, claiming she wanted to help. “Just for a few weeks,” she said.
Those weeks turned into months, and those months into years. She had her own house nearby, but somehow, our home had become hers. Nathan never questioned it. I tried to be understanding and be the perfect daughter-in-law.
But there was always this underlying doubt that Susie saw me as an outsider in my own family.

“Darling,” I said to Nathan, “don’t you think your mother might be more comfortable in her own home?”
He always brushed it off. “Mom just wants to be close to Leo. She’s family, Amelia. Why does it bother you so much?”
“Because sometimes I feel like I’m raising our son with her instead of you,” I replied, but he never seemed to hear the pain in my voice.
I let it go, never imagining they would betray me like this.
It was past nine when I got home that night. I’d been working late, trying to finish a project, and all I wanted was to kiss Leo goodnight and crawl into bed. The house was unusually quiet as I slipped off my shoes in the hallway.

I never meant to eavesdrop. Then I heard the whispers from the kitchen. At first, I thought I was imagining things. But then I recognized the voices.
My husband and his mother.
“Ten thousand dollars, Nathan. Think about what we could do with that,” Susie’s voice drifted from the kitchen.

I froze with my hand still on my jacket zipper. They were speaking in hushed, urgent tones. I should have walked in and let them know I was home. But then I heard my name.
“But using Leo for this… I’m afraid Amelia will…” Nathan’s voice was hesitant.
My heart stopped. Using Leo for what?
“He’s perfect for it,” Susie insisted. “Young, charming, exactly what they’re looking for. And Amelia doesn’t need to know anything about it until it’s done.”
“She has no idea,” Nathan agreed. “And it’s better that way.”

Every muscle in my body tensed and a chill ran down my spine. Better that way? What exactly were they planning to do with my son?
I should have burst into the kitchen right then, but something kept me rooted to the spot. Maybe it was shock or maybe some part of me needed to hear just how far they would go.
“We need to do this soon,” Nathan muttered. “Before she starts suspecting us.”
“Leo will be fine,” Susie reassured him. “You know this is the best thing for him. And it’s ten thousand dollars… for you. She doesn’t even have to know.”

Then my husband spoke again, softer this time. “I know, Mom. I just… I don’t know how she’ll react if she finds out.”
That’s when I found my voice. Stepping into the kitchen doorway, I flicked on the light.
“FIND OUT WHAT?”
They jumped like they’d been electrocuted. Nathan’s face went white, while Susie’s expression hardened into something I’d never seen before.

“AMELIA!” Nathan panicked. “You’re home early.”
“What were you planning to do with my son?”
The silence that followed was deafening. Nathan and Susie exchanged glances — those conspiratorial looks I’d grown to hate over the years.
Nathan’s eyes flickered to his mother before he forced a smile, his voice turning unnaturally casual. “Oh, babe, we were just discussing about that daycare program you mentioned. Mom thinks we should go ahead and enroll Leo before the spots fill up.”
Susie nodded way too fast. “Yes! That’s all it was. Nothing to worry about.”
Nothing to worry about? The pit in my stomach deepened.

“We’ll talk later,” Nathan said, his eyes never leaving his mom’s face.
I swallowed. “Yeah… of course.”
I tried to shake it off. Maybe I was overreacting. Maybe it really was about daycare. But my gut wouldn’t let it go.
That night, after everyone had gone to bed, I did something I’d never done before — I checked Nathan’s phone. The message thread with his mother was right at the top.
“They just need one parent to sign. She doesn’t have to know.”
“They’re offering more for younger kids. Easy money.”
“I’ll handle it. Just get her signature on something and I’ll swap it out.”

My stomach twisted so hard I thought I might be sick. I scrolled up. A company name caught my eye. I Googled it quickly. And to my shock, it was a modeling agency.
It was real. No scams or hidden dangers. But that wasn’t the point.
They had planned to forge my signature and use my son WITHOUT my consent. The worst part? Leo was already signed up.
I forced myself to breathe through the panic and shock. With trembling hands, I took screenshots of everything and emailed them to myself. Nathan had no idea what was coming.

Then I called my sister.
“Sarah,” I whispered into the phone, trying not to wake anyone. “I need help.”
“Amelia? What’s wrong? You sound terrible.”
The dam broke, and I sobbed quietly into the phone, explaining everything.
“Pack a bag,” she said after I explained everything. “Come stay with me. We’ll call a lawyer in the morning.”
“I can’t believe this is happening,” I choked out. “I trusted him, Sarah. I trusted both of them.”
“Listen to me, Amy. You’re stronger than you know. And Leo needs you to be strong right now.”

The next morning, I barely heard a word Nathan said. I waited until he was settled at the kitchen table with his coffee. Then, without a word, I slid my phone across to him.
The open messages stared back at him.
“Care to explain?” I demanded.
Nathan’s grip tightened around his mug. He picked up my phone and scrolled through the messages, his face paling with every line he read.

Susie stiffened a little but said nothing.
“Babe, I —”
“Don’t even try to spin this. You were going to sign Leo up for a modeling contract behind my back. And swap out my signature?”
Nathan ran a hand over his face. “It’s not like that.”
“Then tell me what it is like, Nathan.”

He hesitated. “Mom needed help.”
I blinked. “Excuse me?”
“Mom has gambling debts,” he confessed. “She’s about to lose her house. We needed the money fast —”
“So you decided to use our son as a cash machine? Without even talking to me?”
“I didn’t know how to tell you…”
“How about ‘Hey, honey, my mom’s in trouble, let’s discuss our options’?” I laughed bitterly. “But no, you and your mother decided to go behind my back and forge my signature instead.”

“I was desperate!” Nathan fell to his knees, grabbing my hands. “Mom was talking about… about losing everything. I couldn’t let that happen!”
I yanked my hands away, my voice ice-cold. “And what about Leo? What about your son? Was your mother’s gambling addiction worth sacrificing his trust and safety?”
“Amelia, please —”
“We’re done.” I turned around. “I’ve already called a lawyer. I’m filing for divorce.”
“Don’t do this,” he begged, tears streaming down his face. “We can work this out. I’ll do anything.”
“It’s too late. You’ve already shown me who you really are.”

I didn’t just leave. I took everything. I froze our joint accounts, filed for full custody, and documented every lie and every text.
Nathan begged and apologized. But I never looked back… because a man who can betray me and our son deserves to lose everything.
That was six months ago. Today, I’m sitting in my new apartment, watching Leo play with his toys, completely unaware of how close he came to being used as a solution to his grandmother’s problems. The divorce is final, I have full custody, and Nathan isn’t allowed within 50 feet of us without supervision.
Oh, and the money they were so desperate for? Turns out Nathan took a loan to save his mother’s house… something he could have done from the beginning instead of trying to exploit our son.

Last week, I ran into Nathan at the grocery store. He looked older and tired.
“How is he?” he asked softly, staring at the floor.
“He’s good,” I replied. “He started soccer. He loves it.”
“I miss him so much, Amelia. I miss you both.”
I felt a familiar ache in my chest, but it was duller now, more like an old scar than a fresh wound. “You should have thought about that before you chose your mother’s secrets over your son’s welfare.”

But you know what? I’m glad this happened. Because sometimes it takes a crisis to show you who people really are. And while it hurts that my husband valued his mother’s gambling habits over his wife’s trust and his son’s well-being, I’m glad I learned the truth rather than live a lie.
As for me? I’m doing better than ever. Leo is thriving in his new preschool, I got a promotion at work, and most importantly, I sleep soundly at night knowing my son is safe from those who would use him for their own gain.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is walk away from the people who hurt you, even if they’re family. Especially if they’re family.
