The former Quizmania host and self-proclaimed ”Bush Barbie” was paired up with dance instructor Aric Yegudkin on this year’s show, where she competed for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy and the chance to join the roll-call of DWTS greats.

While she didn’t walk away with the trophy, cheering on all the way was Osborne’s proud family – husband Jeremy and sons Will, 16, and Teddy, 12.

Here’s what you need to know about the ”other” Osborne family (no relation to Ozzy!)

Is Nikki Osborne married?

Yes! Nikki Osborne married her long-term boyfriend Jeremy Starr on October 6, 2009.

Osborne celebrated 18 years with her husband with a not-that-romantic-actually post in April 2023.

”Happy 18 years!!” she wrote, sharing a picture of herself with a cocktail in hand while her husband looked on with a slightly bemused expression.

”He’s forgotten so instead of telling him, I’m posting this so he feels guilty and buys me something reeeeaaaallll nice instead. I’d forgotten too. I shouldn’t have said that!”

”But I mean he already has you, the best gift ever, right?” one follower wrote.

”If he’s struggling for gift ideas for you, I hear diamonds are popular.”

Does Nikki Osborne have kids?

Osborne told New Idea in July 2024 that her kids were ”so proud” of her turn on DWTS.

Although she made it to the finals, her first performance on the show received not-so-great scores, much to her family’s surprise.

”They were rather bemused,” she said.

“They are looking forward to me looking more elegant. I looked a little bit like I was from an 80s prom during the first dance.”

Osborne said her oldest son, Will, was getting to the age where he found it a little weird that his mum was a celebrity.

”It’s my social media that drives my eldest, Will, crazy because I still behave like a proper person, not a mum,” she revealed.

”I’m not posting about Thermomix or dog memes, instead I’m still out there causing trouble. And that does drive them a little bit nuts.”

Where does Nikki Osborne live?

”The criteria was to be close to the beach, close to cafes and shops so my son can just get a job and take himself there because I’m sick of driving, and close to Guzman y Gomez so we can get Uber Eats,” the comedienne told realestate.com.au.

Prior to the purchase the couple sold their Buderman home for $1.425 million and had spent 12 months looking for their ”dream home” before landing on the Mooloolaba property.
