My Fabulous Life!

From pop singer to fashionista – why we love the all new star.

While there’s nothing better than belting out a Céline Dion number in the shower, there is so much more to the love ballad diva than her hits. Céline, 51, has completely transformed herself over the years from one of the world’s most successful performers to couture darling – and she wasn’t afraid to experiment. Here, we take a look at what makes Canada’s greatest export unique…

FOUND ONE GREAT LOVE

The French-Canadian songstress met her manager and future husband René Angélil at the tender age of 12, after her brother sent him a demo tape of her singing.

Céline and René started dating when she was 19 and he was 46 – despite a 26-year age gap. But they didn’t publicly reveal their relationship for another five years, by which time they were already engaged. They tied the knot in 1994 and while many doubted the pair would last, they were married until René died of throat cancer in 2016. ‘[He was] the only man that I kissed, the only man that I loved,’ Céline admitted after the father of her three sons passed away.
