Most people who search “Steve Craig” aren’t actually looking for Steve Craig. They’re looking for the man who married Marie Osmond, divorced her three years later, and then — twenty-six years after that — married her again. It’s the kind of detail that sounds made up. It isn’t.
Here’s the thing: despite decades in Marie Osmond’s orbit, Craig himself has stayed almost entirely out of the press. That means most of what circulates about him online is thin, repetitive, or flatly inconsistent — especially when it comes to his finances. This piece sticks to what’s actually documented, flags what isn’t, and clears up a persistent mix-up with another celebrity ex-husband who happens to share his name.
Who Is Steve Craig? A Quick Disambiguation
There are two men named Steven Craig who show up in celebrity searches, and they are not the same person. Stephen Lyle Craig — the man covered in this article — is a former college basketball player best known as Marie Osmond’s husband. The other is Steven Craig, actress Sally Field’s first husband from 1968 to 1975 and the father of screenwriter Peter Craig and director Eli Craig. Beyond the shared name, the two have no connection to each other. Osmond’s husband played basketball at Brigham Young University; Field’s ex-husband, by most accounts, worked in construction and stayed almost entirely outside the entertainment industry.
Early Life and Basketball Career
Craig was born in 1957 in Provo, Utah, and, according to multiple biographical summaries, was raised in a Mormon family — though little verified detail exists about his parents or childhood. What is well-documented is his basketball career: he played for Brigham Young University in the late 1970s, and in 1981 he was selected in the fifth round of the NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. His professional playing career was brief, and he does not appear to have had an extended NBA tenure beyond that draft selection.
Steve Craig and Marie Osmond’s First Wedding in 1982
Craig married Marie Osmond — already a household name from Donny & Marie and her 1973 hit “Paper Roses” — on June 26, 1982, at the Salt Lake Temple in Utah, with roughly 4,000 guests in attendance. How the two met has never been clearly explained in any sourced account; most retellings simply note that Osmond, then a rising star, and Craig, a college athlete, crossed paths in the late 1970s. Their son, Stephen James Craig, was born the following year.
The Divorce and Time Apart
The marriage ended after roughly three years. Osmond filed for divorce in October 1985, and public records cited at the time referenced a request for nominal alimony and custody of their young son. Specific details behind the split were never made public, and neither Osmond nor Craig has given a detailed account of what caused the breakup. After the divorce, Osmond went on to marry record producer Brian Blosil in 1986; Craig, by most accounts, did not remarry during this period.
How Steve Craig and Marie Osmond Rekindled Their Romance
Osmond and Blosil’s marriage ended in 2007 after roughly two decades together. According to Osmond’s own public statements, she and Craig reconnected sometime around 2009 — largely through their son — and quietly began seeing each other again. She has said the two deliberately kept the relationship private for about two years before going public, explaining on Good Morning America that she didn’t want anyone to be hurt if it didn’t work out.
The 2011 Remarriage — A Second Chance at Love
Craig and Osmond married for a second time on May 4, 2011, in a Las Vegas Mormon temple ceremony, followed by a reception at their Nevada home. Osmond has spoken about the remarriage in several interviews since, describing it as a different kind of partnership than her first marriage to Craig or her marriage to Blosil — one built on a clearer sense of what actually matters in a relationship.
Their Son, Stephen James Craig Jr., and Family Life
Stephen James Craig, born in 1983, is Steve Craig and Marie Osmond’s only child together. He was reportedly instrumental in his parents reconnecting later in life, though the exact details of that role haven’t been laid out publicly in any verified source. Beyond that, Craig has effectively become a stepfather figure to Osmond’s seven children from her marriage to Blosil, two biological and five adopted, one of whom — Michael Blosil — died by suicide in 2010 after struggling with depression.
Steve Craig’s Career and Work as a Motivational Speaker
After his brief basketball career, Craig’s professional path is less consistently documented across sources — some describe a stint in music production, others in production design, before he settled into work as a motivational speaker. He’s reported to have traveled for speaking engagements, though there’s no verified public record of specific clients, organizations, or income tied to that work.
Steve Craig Net Worth and Income
This is where readers should be skeptical of most of what they find online. Figures for Craig’s individual net worth vary enormously across low-authority celebrity-bio sites — some cite roughly $2 million, others claim as much as $18 million, and some conflate his finances entirely with Osmond’s, citing a “combined” household figure near $20 million. None of these numbers trace back to a primary financial source, court filing, or outlet like Forbes.
As of this writing, Steve Craig’s individual net worth has not been independently verified by any credible financial or entertainment-industry source. Given his decades-long marriage to Osmond, it’s reasonable to assume a comfortable lifestyle — but any specific dollar figure circulating online should be treated as speculation, not fact.
Marie Osmond on Steve Craig — Love, Support, and Shared Adventures
In interviews over the years, Osmond has described Craig as steady and easy to be with, contrasting the relationship with the pressures of her earlier marriage. She’s also shared glimpses of their life on social media — including birthday trips and outdoor activities like mountain biking — suggesting a relationship that leans toward low-key rather than public spectacle, which tracks with how little either of them says about it in detail.
Marie Osmond’s Marriage to Brian Blosil (Quick Reference)
For context, Osmond’s marriage to Brian Blosil ran from 1986 to 2007. The couple had two biological children, Rachael and Matthew, and adopted five more: Jessica, Brandon, Michael, Brianna, and Abigail. Michael’s death in 2010 remains one of the most publicly discussed events in Osmond’s personal history, and she’s spoken openly about it as part of her advocacy work around mental health.
Steven Craig, Sally Field’s First Husband (The Other Craig)
To close the loop on the disambiguation: Steven Craig, Sally Field’s first husband, was born in Fargo, North Dakota, in 1945. He and Field, high school sweethearts, married in 1968 when she was 21, and had two sons — Peter Craig, now a novelist and screenwriter behind films including Top Gun: Maverick and The Batman, and Eli Craig, an actor and director known for Tucker & Dale vs. Evil. Field and Craig separated in 1973 and divorced in 1975. Unlike Osmond’s husband, this Steven Craig has never been connected to professional sports or entertainment production work, and by most accounts has lived a private life outside Hollywood since the divorce. As with Osmond’s husband, specific financial figures attributed to him online are unverified and should be read as speculation rather than fact.
Conclusion
- Steve Craig, born Stephen Lyle Craig in 1957, played basketball at BYU and was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1981.
- He married Marie Osmond in 1982, divorced her in 1985, and remarried her in 2011 — a 26-year gap between weddings.
- Their son, Stephen James Craig, was born in 1983 and reportedly helped bring his parents back together decades later.
- Reliable, sourced figures for Craig’s individual net worth do not currently exist; treat any specific dollar amount online with skepticism.
- He is not the same person as Steven Craig, Sally Field’s first husband and father of Peter and Eli Craig.
If there’s a practical takeaway here, it’s a useful one for reading celebrity content generally: when a figure is documented, is well documented, and when it isn’t, no amount of repetition across blogs makes it more true.
