The Truth About Emily Osment And Haley Joel Osment's Relationship

Posted by Abbie Anker on Friday, May 17, 2024

Both Haley Joel and Emily Osment were born in Los Angeles — in 1988 and 1992, respectively — and are each others' only siblings, per Super Stars Bio. It should be no surprise, then, especially given how they both grew up in the entertainment industry, that they have remained relatively close to each other throughout the years. 

Haley Joel, reflecting upon both his and his sister's rises to fame, told The Guardian in 2020 that Emily had "a way tougher path" to fame than he did, given how her career was much more centered around Disney Channel; he, on the other hand, took on much more adult roles as a child actor. "That show," he said, referring to "Hannah Montana," "was squarely aimed towards creating a mania in that age group. She had to deal with a lot more strange invasions of privacy, not being able to have a normal school life." He added that these issues were "exacerbated" by social media, which was on the rise at the time ("Hannah Montana" ran from 2006 to 2011). "I resisted until I was, like, 27," Haley Joel joked of his own social media usage. 

The strength of their relationship was also demonstrated in April, when Haley Joel celebrated his 34th birthday. According to E! News, Emily posted a selfie of the two of them wearing party hats to her Instagram Story. She also wrote him a happy birthday message.
