Celine Dion to Release Next Hit: A Baby!

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 18th 2009 09:46AM

Canadian songstress Celine Dion and her husband, Rene Angelil, 67, are expecting a second child, Tuesday's Journal de Montreal reports. The 41-year-old singer gave birth to the couple's first child, Rene-Charles, in January 2001. The earlier pregnancy was the result of fertility treatments, and Dion reportedly used a team of fertility doctors in New York to help her conceive again.

Dion recently told talk show host Oprah Winfrey, "We are going to give it a try after my tour. Hopefully we (can get) pregnant again. I have a small window of hope. But we have been so blessed already. We tried six years for Rene-Charles. We have our miracle baby."

Angelil, Dion's former manager, has three children from two previous marriages. His recent bout with cancer had raised doubts of his ability to father another child.

What good news for this wonderful couple. Being a native of Canada (born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and raised in Montreal), I have been following the career of Celine and am so happy that her wish has come true to have a second child on the way. Congratulations to you both! I'm sure that their son must be elated in hearing the news that he will have a little brother or sister to play with.

Sincerely,
Lois Grubbs of Sylmar, California

The "author" of this poorly researched article, should be fired for creating gossip.

Celine's husband had cancer. Prior to his treatment his sperm was harvested. That is LIKELY where the sperm is coming from.

Too bad you had to throw in your last, gossipy paragraph. Try doing some research before you write the articles and create speculation as to the parents of the child.

I'm so happy to hear the news about Celine & husband. I just love her so much. I saw her in person in Tacoma WA this last year. She had a marvelous show. I remember she indicated that she would love to have more kids.

By Barbwa is like buttah!

Much happiness to Celine and Rene. Celine IS a class act, and that's a rarity among pop singers who are all on some kind of collision course. I like her as she's kind to her fans, and has a sense of humor.

Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy! Seems like she has worked her butt off for the past several years, now she can reap the rewards.

By Ruby

There are some people that just cannot be happy for anyone. Celine & Rene want this baby very much, which is saying alot. Too many babies aren't wanted. 67 is only a number!

By Ana

Dear celine: I'm so HAPPY that you and your dear Husband Rene are expecting a Baby,Best wishes and may God Bless you & your family.

What a great bit of news. They are a fine couple. No slander or marital problem "stories", and they seem up-beat at all times. There are reasons to be happy to be alive during ths time solt of existance. Celine singing is one of those reasons.

You are right they do want another baby, but be happy you have one healthy child. It's a fact older mother's and father's (67?)have a greater chance for babies with bith defects let alone have no parents by the time they are teens. Why couldn't she have put her career on hold sooner!!! The kids will not be close in age. I couldn't have children and took fertility drugs but I made sure that I gave it up at the right age and I'm not jealous of them.

Congradulations to Celine & Rene. Doesn't matter how old you are just enjoy life.

As for PETA they should be ashamed of themselves for targeting children.
