Celine Dion Proudly Shows Off Her 4-Month-Old Twins

Celine Dion was seen yesterday at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas where she came to begin rehearsals for her high-profile show set to debut March 15 at The Colosseum, and she did not come alone.

Dion came with her 4-month-old twins Eddy and Nelson in tow, along with her husband and manager Rene Angelil and her 9-year-old son, Rene-Charles.

The Daily Mail reports that the twins wore matching blue baby gowns and white hats. The twins were cradled in their parents arms as they posed for fans and photographers at the steps of the hotel and casino.

Dion has revealed previously that she was originally supposed to have triplets this month, but lost one of the babies early in the pregnancy.

The names of the twins are significant for the singer and her husband. Eddy is named after Eddy Mornay, the producer who worked on Dion's first five albums.

Mornay was like a father to Dion. A rep of the couple said, "Eddy is a major influence in both Celine and Rene's lives."

Meanwhile, Nelson Mandela was the inspiration for their other twin's name. "Rene said that in just the few minutes they were able to spend with him, they were impressed by the human being he is," the rep continued.

"Celine and Rene want their children to be inspired by their names, because they were so inspired by these men," the rep added.

"The babies were supposed to be born this month, but were born prematurely. That's why they're four months old."

Nice try, except that they were NOT premature! And even if they had been four months premature, that's too soon to survive; not to mention which, it would have been all over the news if she had had them that soon.
