For Céline Dion, life has always been about family and music. While the world knows her as the powerhouse behind iconic hits like "My Heart Will Go On," what truly lights up her world is being a mom to her three wonderful sons—René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy. These boys are more than just her pride and joy; they're her anchor through life's ups and downs. Even after losing her beloved husband, René Angélil, in 2016, Céline has continued to be the rock her boys need, all while managing her own health challenges. Let me tell you, this woman doesn’t just sing about love—she lives it.
Céline’s journey as a mother began in 1994 when she married her soulmate, René Angélil. Their love story is legendary, and so is their family. René-Charles arrived in January 2001, bringing immense happiness into their lives. Then, nearly a decade later, in October 2010, twins Nelson and Eddy completed their family. It’s been over two decades since Céline became a mom, and she’s handled every challenge with grace, proving that motherhood is her greatest role yet.
Céline’s Eldest: René-Charles Angélil
Rene-Charles Angélil, Céline’s firstborn, was born on January 25, 2001. He wasn’t just any kid; he was destined for greatness. At 18, René-Charles stepped into the spotlight with a bang. Under the rapper name Big Tip, he released two tracks on SoundCloud, climbing straight to No. 1 and No. 2 on the Canadian R&B charts. But here’s the kicker—René-Charles didn’t tell his mom about these songs until they were already at the top. Can you imagine Céline’s reaction? Shocked, but proud, she embraced his talent wholeheartedly.

René-Charles opened up about this moment in an interview with the Montreal Gazette. “When I told her, she was like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me first?’ But she loves it,” he said, smiling. “She’s super supportive of everything I do.” In December 2020, René-Charles teased fans with a hint of more music on the way. True to his word, in January 2021, he dropped his debut mini-album titled CasiNo.5. It was available on Apple Music, and Céline couldn’t have been prouder. For his 20th birthday, she wrote a heartfelt message on Instagram, calling him her dream come true.
René-Charles continues to make waves in the music world. In February 2024, he joined his mom at the Grammy Awards, where they presented the Album of the Year award. Though Taylor Swift took home the trophy, René-Charles snapped photos backstage with both Taylor and his mom, capturing a special moment. That same year, in June, he attended the NYC premiere of the documentary I Am: Céline Dion, supporting his mom as she shared her battle with stiff person syndrome. Céline thanked her kids during her speech, acknowledging their unwavering love and support.
Eddy Angélil: The Twin With a Big Heart
Eddy Angélil, one of Céline’s twins, was born on October 23, 2010. While his older brother René-Charles has carved out his own path in music, Eddy prefers to stay out of the spotlight. That doesn’t mean he lacks talent, though. This young man is bilingual, speaking fluent French and English, and carries the name of the late French songwriter Eddy Marnay, a nod to his family’s rich artistic heritage.
Eddy often pops up on his mom’s Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into their close-knit family life. For his 10th birthday in October 2020, Céline shared adorable photos and wrote a touching tribute. “Nelson and Eddy, you bring so much joy, love, and laughter into our lives every single day,” she wrote. “You make us so proud, and I know your dad is watching over you. Happy birthday, my beautiful boys!” Eddy may not be in the entertainment business, but his presence in Céline’s life is invaluable.
