Celine Dion on Twins Pregnancy: Everything Is Falling into Place

Singer Celine Dion is pregnant with twins, it was announced a few days ago. The pregnancy is the result of several fertilization treatments, which left her body feeling a bit tired and which also make for the reason why she’s now happy even when she has morning sickness. It’s all a sign that it’s real and that the pregnancy is progressing, Celine herself says in a new interview cited by People magazine.

A few days ago, Celine broke her silence to speak of what it was like for her and husband Rene Angelil to learn they were about to become parents again, more than 9 years after they first became so, with son Rene-Charles. In the latest interview, Celine also talks about how she plans to take care of Rene-Charles so that he doesn’t become jealous of the twins, how her body is already changing and what helped her not lose her hope and keep on trying for babies.

“The first two months I really felt the classical symptoms. The morning sickness, hot flashes, nausea. In a certain way, that reassured me, like a sign that my pregnancy was progressing. Now, everything is falling into place. I have a little belly. I’ve gained [10 lbs.],” Celine says. As for how they never lost hope, she says, “We believed in trying one more time. If [the doctor] had told me that my body was too tired, I would have given up.” Luckily, that was never the case.

“The couple haven’t picked out names yet but are making plenty of other plans. They won’t use any nannies – ‘Too many people in the house disorient children,’ Dion says – but will call on Dion’s sister Linda and her husband Alain for help. ‘My only task is to make my children happy,’ Dion says. ‘And too bad if the house sometimes becomes a mess. […] We’ll do the same thing we did with Rene-Charles, who stayed with us in our bedroom for the first year,’ says Dion. ‘We’ll keep them near us, too, because we have a big bed’,” People writes, citing Celine.

At the moment, Celine and Rene don’t know yet whether they’ll have boys or girls, but that will change next week, the diva explains. In the same interview, she also says that she and Rene have enough experience not to be “blinded” by the miracle of newborns, so that Rene-Charles will never have reason to be jealous.
