Marie Osmond is one of those stars who prefer not to reveal too much about her private life. This is one of the reasons why some revelations about who she has dated may come as a surprise.

One night he kept calling me and calling me. He was obviously not well.

When she had had enough, she told the singer that their relationship was over. Marie confessed that breaking up with Andy over the phone was not the ideal situation but she simply felt like she had no other choice.

I felt really bad because it was something I should have done in person, but it was just enough. It was breaking my heart seeing what he was doing to himself.

Marie went on to add that many years later, Andy told her that the breakup phone call was "a wake-up call" for him. It pushed him to get his act together and get his health under control.
