Canadian singer Celine Dion, who is going through a difficult time due to her severe illness, shared a photo of her three grown-up sons and paid tribute to her late husband. Celineâs beloved husband, RenĂ© AngĂ©lil, passed away on January 14, 2016, at the age of 73.
On her Instagram, Celine posted a picture with her three sons: 24-year-old René-Charles and 14-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy. The family chose light pastel tones for the photo and posed outdoors against a backdrop of Christmas decorations.
âRenĂ©, we canât believe itâs been nine years since youâre gone. Not a day goes by that we donât feel your presence, R.C., Eddy, Nelson, and I. You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me,â Celine wrote in her message to her late husband.
The singer also expressed her respect for her husband and shared how much she will always miss him, addressing him as âmon amour.â She ended her message with, âWe love you. Celine xxâŠ.â
Itâs worth noting that Celine first met her husband and manager, RenĂ© AngĂ©lil, in 1980 when she was 12 and he was 38. This happened after Celineâs brother, Michel, sent RenĂ© a recording of âCe nâĂ©tait quâun RĂȘve,â a song written by Celine, her mother, and brother Jacques Dion. The couple began a romantic relationship in 1987, later got engaged, and married on December 17, 1994.
