It’s no secret that in her life, Celine Dion has known only one man: René Angelil. Mentor, producer, husband, father of her children… the man who was 27 years older than the famous singer would have been everything to her, from a very young age.
We are in 1991 when Celine Dion and René Angélil get married. At the time, they had been in a relationship for several years already and the union of the 22-year-old Canadian artist with a 49-year-old man made headlines. If their age difference is already a lot of talk, we learn today that the singer would have fallen in love with René long before being of age. In the book “Celine Dion, the real story”, Laurence Pieau and Hervé Tropéa come back in detail on the career of the world star.
“Celine Dion was just a teenager when she fell in love with Rene Angelil. When exactly ? She doesn’t know anymore can we read in an extract unveiled by our colleagues from Gala. “He happened to say that it was ‘certainly not at the age of 12’ and to confide other times exactly the opposite!“. Indeed, we recall that Celine Dion met René Angelil in 1981 when she was 12 years old.
Today, we even talk about never-before-released photos that show the couple’s chemistry at that time. “With Céline, it was seen, it was said” assures a radio journalist to the authors of the book. She mentions in particular “the way the producer and the singer brush against each other” and what is “stolen images supposedly taken on a boat and which, oddly, no one has seen“.
