Céline Dion's Life After Heartbreak

Three years after the death of her husband, Céline Dion has finally found happiness

The pain was unimaginable. In early 2016, legendary singer Céline Dion lost her beloved husband and manager, René Angélil, at age 73 following a long illness. “She was heartbroken,” recalls a source, adding that Céline’s sorrow only grew deeper when her brother Daniel passed away two days later from health complications. “It was the absolute worst time in Céline’s life. Friends feared she might never recover from such tragedy.”

It hasn’t been easy, but the 51-year-old songstress has come out stronger than ever. “It took a few years, but Céline is telling friends that she’s finally back. Her career is on fire, her fashion is on point and, most importantly, she’s finally happy again,” the source tells OK!, adding that after experiencing such sadness, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer has decided to throw caution to the wind and fully embrace all of the joy that life has to offer. “My life [has] started over again,” Céline recently exclaimed. “I’m a woman assuming her own destiny, full of energy and in love with life. I don’t want to go back in time. I’m going forward.”
