Céline Dion honours late husband René Angélil on 10th anniversary of his death

Céline Dion marked 10 years since the passing of her husband René Angélil with an emotional tribute to her late husband on January 14. 

The Because You Loved Me singer, 57, posted a photo of Angélil’s portrait resting on a piano in a sunlit room, writing, “Mon amour, ten years without you feels like just a day, and yet each day feels like a decade."

She went on to add, "Ten years without your caress, and yet every day I feel your touch. We miss you more than we can bear, but you taught us to be strong. We love you more, every day and every year.”

Dion closed the caption with regards from her sons René-Charles, 24, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 15.

Dion and Angélil first met when she auditioned for the musician and talent manager at age 12. Their first official date came when she was 19, and they publicly confirmed their engagement in 1993 before marrying in a lavish ceremony at Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica on December 17, 1994. 

The couple later welcomed three children, including René-Charles, born in 2001, and twins Nelson and Eddy, born in 2010.

Angélil died of throat cancer on January 14, 2016, two days shy of his 74th birthday. At the time, his representative asked for privacy.
