Jennifer Garner Calls Donny Osmond Her 'Biggest Crush of All Time'

Let’s get real for a moment, folks. Jennifer Garner just gave us all a little trip down memory lane when she admitted her long-standing crush on none other than Donny Osmond. In a playful Instagram post, Jen, the star of "13 Going on 30," revealed her teenage dreamboat with a simple yet endearing shoutout. “My number one biggest crush of all time @donnyosmond,” she wrote alongside a classic blowing-kiss emoji. It’s those little moments of honesty that make celebrities feel more like friends, right?

Katie Couric Sparks a Nostalgic Throwback

This whole nostalgic wave started when Katie Couric, the former cohost of Today, shared an epic blast from the past. On April 30, Katie, now 62, posted a vintage video clip featuring The Osmonds sharing the stage with the legendary Cher back in the groovy 1970s. With their rendition of Stevie Wonder’s iconic "Superstition," it was a musical moment that brought the house down. Katie captioned the clip with a playful nod, “If this doesn’t get you going this morning, nothing will. Long live @Cher and The Osmonds (hi @DonnyOsmond).”

Donny Osmond's Legendary Performance

In the video, shared by AFlashBak, Donny Osmond, now 61, and his talented family band—the Osmond brothers Merrill, Jay, David, Alan, Wayne, and Jimmy—can be seen grooving and harmonizing in the background as Cher took the lead on "Superstition." The brothers were all decked out in those iconic electric-purple jumpsuits, which were as dazzling as they were memorable. It’s hard not to smile when you watch them dance and sing along, even if Marie Osmond wasn’t part of the fun this time around.
