The Talk co-host is happily wed to husband Stephen Craig — for the second time. “Nothing is an accident,” Osmond, 59, who remarried Craig in 2011, 26 years after their divorce, tells PEOPLE. “I am a spiritual person. So [I believe] God has his timing.”

Now, the actress and singer, who stars in Lifetime’s The Road Home for Christmas, premiering Oct. 26, opens up about finding true love, again.

Osmond was just 22 and fresh off of her smash hit variety series, Donny & Marie, when she first married Craig, whom she had met as a teen.

Less than a year later, the couple welcomed their son Stephen, now 36. At the same time, Osmond, who had been performing since she was a young teen, found herself at a crossroads in her professional life.

She and the musician, 35, walked into the event hand in hand. The couple, who tied the knot in 2013, already share their 4-year-old daughter, Edie.

“Everyone was telling me my career was over,” she says. And eventually, her marriage to Craig “had some trouble,” and they called it quits in 1985.

“All of a sudden I’m a single mom and I don’t know how I’m going to pay my rent, let alone feed my kid,” Osmond says. “So I decided I had to get back to work.”

Undaunted, Osmond recalls buying potential stage looks from the Limited Express and hand sewing sequins onto the costumes. Within two years, Osmond found herself at the top of the country music charts with a revitalized career, and married for the second time, to actor Brian Blosil.

Reflecting on her marriage to Blosil, which ended in 2007 (the exes share six children; Osmond’s son Michael died in 2010 at the age of 19), the star admits she rushed into the relationship.

“The thing about a second marriage is that you realize things you thought were so important, aren’t,” says Osmond. “I love being with my husband. He is the sweetest man I know. He lives to serve and really listens to people’s needs.”
