The singer hits a high note after tragedy.
Since her first public performance at the age of five, in her parents’ piano bar in Quebec, superstar Celine Dion has been showered with praise and awards for her powerful stage presence and her spectacular three-octave vocal range.
Yet despite five Grammys and her title as one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, the Canadian singer – who turns 50 this week – insists her children are her greatest achievement.
“What makes me most proud is to be a mother,” Celine says of son René-Charles, 17, and seven-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson from her 21-year marriage to late husband René Angélil. “My kids give me the balance to live right.”
Two years after René’s death, they still miss him terribly, but “The Power of Love” singer is able to keep it together as she knows she has to stay strong for her family.
“Celine will never take the place of the boys’ father, but she’s doing her best to make life as happy and settled for them as possible,” a source close to the star tells Woman’s Day. “When she sees their smiling faces and hears them laugh, she knows she’s doing something right. They’re helping to heal her heartbreak.
