Celine Dion Honours Late Husband René Angélil on 5th Death Anniversary
Celine Dion honoured her late husband, René Angélil, on Thursday, which marked the fifth anniversary of his passing.
The music producer lost his battle with throat cancer on Jan. 14, 2016 — two days shy of his 74th birthday. Dion, 52, penned a touching tribute in Angélil’s memory and shared a zoomed-in photo of them walking hand-in-hand by the ocean.
“René, it’s been 5 years already… There’s not one day that we don’t think about you,” the eight-time Grammy winner began. “We’re reaching out to you now more than ever, to guide us, protect us, and continue to watch over us.”
Dion continued, “We pray that you’ll shine your love on the entire world, to all those at this very moment, who are facing incredibly difficult times. You are in our hearts and in our lives forever.”

“We love you,” Dion signed off with and included the names of their three children, 19-year-old René-Charles and 10-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy. Angélil and Dion married in 1994 and remained together for 21 years until his death in January 2016.
When asked during a 2019 appearance on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live! whether or not she would ever marry again, Dion admitted she is “still in love” with her late husband but is open to the idea.
“I don’t date. I don’t have a boyfriend, and you know, it doesn’t mean that I will not find someone in my life,” Dion said at the time. “If I do, that would be great. If I don’t, that would be great.”
