Celine Dion & Rene Angelil

The couple met in 1980 when Dion was still a 12-year old singer with a huge dream. At that time, Angelil himself was a struggling record producer until he heard his future wife’s demo. After a year, he sold his house just to fund Dion’s debut album, La Voix du Bon Dieu. By 1994 Dion was already a Grammy Award winner and a holder of an Oscar Award as well. The powerhouse singer was led to global stardom by her one true love. Dion dedicated one of her albums, The Colour of My Love, to Angelil. By the age of 24, the singer married her beloved sweetheart in a posh, broadcasted ceremony.

Celine and Angelil had three children together: 14-year-old Rene-Charles, and five-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy. Like most love stories, the couple also experienced a painful, heartbreaking challenge. Angelil was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2014, and two years later, he lost the battle.
