Céline Dion may be a superstar, but she considers her role as a mom to be the greatest “privilege."
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer and her late husband, René Angélil, welcomed three sons together: René-Charles, 24, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 14. Angélil died in 2016 from throat cancer, and in the years since, Dion and her sons have continued to lean on one another for support.
