A Legacy of Music and Love
For those who may not know, Céline and Thérèse shared a special bond that went beyond mother and daughter. Music was the thread that connected them, weaving through every chapter of their lives. Just last year, Céline performed a duet with her mother to celebrate Thérèse’s 91st birthday. The moment was captured and shared on Instagram, where Céline expressed her admiration for her mom. “Happy Birthday, Mom! You are an infinite source of comfort and inspiration. I love you,” she wrote, accompanied by a sweet photo of the two holding their microphones.
The Dion family has always been synonymous with music. As explained on Céline’s official website, the entire family shared a passion for performing. Together, they formed a group that entertained their community with concerts. It was during these early performances that Thérèse noticed her youngest daughter’s extraordinary talent. While all of her children were gifted, Céline stood out as someone truly exceptional.
Thérèse's Legacy of Strength
What many may not realize is that Thérèse was more than just a mother to Céline; she was a mother to 14 children. Her resilience and strength were put to the test in 2016 when she lost her son Daniel to a brain tumor. That same year, Céline also suffered the loss of her beloved husband, René Angélil, who passed away from a heart attack at the age of 73. Through these unimaginable losses, Thérèse remained a pillar of support for her family, teaching them the importance of love and perseverance.
Even in her grief, Céline continues to honor the memory of her late husband. On January 14, the fourth anniversary of René’s passing, she took to Instagram once again to express her love. “There is not a day that goes by without me thinking about your beautiful smile. We miss you, thank you for watching over us my love. I love you,” she wrote. Her words reflect the enduring bond she shared with René and the lasting impact he had on her life.
In a recent appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, Céline opened up about her personal life, revealing that while she isn’t currently dating, she remains open to the possibility of love. “I don’t date, I don’t have a boyfriend, and, you know, it doesn’t mean that I will not find someone in my life,” she admitted. “If I do, that would be great. If I don’t, that will be great, because I’m still in love.”
