Celine Dion And Rene Angelil

Many Celion Dion fans know how deep the singer’s love for her late husband Rene Angelil is. Dion first met Angelil when she was only 12 years old and was starting with her singing career. Angelil was then a 38-year-old music manager. In one interview, Angelil revealed that he put a mortgage on his house to fund Dion’s first album and take her and her mother on tour in 1981. It was only when Dion was 19 that they started officially dating.

Their 26 year age gap did not become a hindrance to the two. They eventually decided to hold an epic wedding in 1994. Dion and Angelil’s marriage has been filled with ups and downs. They were blessed with three kids — their eldest is Rene-Charles, followed by twins, Nelson and Eddy. At some point during the rise of Dion’s singing career, they had to face Angelil’s battle with cancer. Although she was doing numerous projects, she set aside all these to be with her husband during his final moments. The veteran manager passed away in 2016. Despite his passing, Dion’s love for her husband continued, and she devoted her time to their three children.
