Céline Dion's Cutest Moments with Her Children
Singer Céline Dion has three sons, René-Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy, with her late husband René Angelil. See their most adorable pictures as a family, from their baby photos to their sweet holiday celebrations.
Céline Dion is a superstar to most of the world, but to her three sons, she's just mom — a mom who posts sometimes silly, sometimes sweet and always over-the-moon-with-love photos of her kids to her Instagram account.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer is a parent to three sons, René-Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy, whom she welcomed with her late husband René Angélil. Since his death in 2016, Dion has posted loving throwbacks to him with his young children as well as joyful recent moments of her life with her three sons.
In recent years, Dion has been out of the public eye as she faces a diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome, which can be debilitatingly painful. But in spite of the "heartbreaking" pain, “her main focuses are always her sons," an insider told PEOPLE. "Céline just loves her boys so much. They are amazing. They give her all the support and love that she needs."
Look at some of their happiest moments together.

You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…. We love you. —Celine xx…”
