Celine Dion has three sons, but it’s her eldest, René-Charles Angelil, who stands out to her admirers.
With nearly a decade more life experience than his twin siblings, René-Charles has become a public figure, particularly during the family’s difficult times. He notably went viral when he provided steadfast support to his mother following the passing of his father, René Angelil, sharing, “Fifteen years isn’t long for a son to truly know his father… But we bonded over golf, hockey, poker, and smoked meat,” during his father’s eulogy while Dion listened with pride and sorrow. He committed to keeping his father’s memory alive for his brothers.
Celine emphasized in an appearance on “Jenna & Friends” that she would never impose adult responsibilities on René-Charles. She stated, “I told him, ‘You will never have to be the man of the house.’ This is your life; you’re not here to replace anyone. You deserve happiness; your father is with you.” Host Kathie Lee Gifford concurred that such expectations would’ve been unfair to him. Dion revealed her close relationship with her “big son.”
Over time, René-Charles has become a reliable source of support for Celine, capturing the hearts of her fans along the way.
