Jennifer Garner is turning 50 this year and, she already received a huge surprise. The Yes Day star got quite the surprise from legendary singer Donny Osmond. Garner took to Instagram to share a video in which she appears to be in awe as she watches a video of Osmond singing to her for her special day. Osmond then suddenly pops up behind her to complete the tune in person.
Garner then stands and hugs him as he presents her with a cake that reads “13 going on 50,” a nod to her popular movie, 13 Going on 30. The two go on to sing a duet together before Garner covers her face with a napkin, seemingly still in shock over the moment. Alongside the video, Garner wrote, “My first (pre)birthday surprise was a doozy, the one and only, a legend in his own time, object of my childhood adoration and devotion @donnyosmond showed up to knock my purple socks off.”
Garner added, “He took an hour and a half of his day to sit with me, sing my favourites, and to give me a master class on how to be a class act. Thank you, Donny. Hi, @marieosmond. I hope to meet you someday, Debbie,” Garner added to his sister Marie Osmond. Garner first revealed her crush on Donny in May 2019 when news anchor Katie Couric shared a throwback video of Cher performing with The Osmonds.
She penned, “If this doesn’t get you going this morning nothing will. Long live @cher and the Osmonds.” “My number one biggest crush of all time @donnyosmond,” Garner commented, along with a kissing face emoji. Donny then responded to the actress by joking, “Miraculous that those jumpsuits didn’t scare you away.” But things didn’t end there.
Donny took a screenshot of an article about their Instagram interaction and posted it to his Instagram Story. “You learn something new every day!” he wrote, referring to Garner’s newly-admitted crush. Donny continued by acknowledging Garner’s appearance in PEOPLE’s annual Beautiful Issue and wrote, “Congrats on being featured in @people’s #BeautifulIssue 2019, @jennifer.garner. No beauty shines greater than a good heart.”
