Céline Dion Says Her Late Husband René Angélil Is ‘Everything For Us’ In 30th Wedding Anniversary Post

Céline Dion marked what would have been her 30th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, René Angélil, reminding fans of the eternal bond they shared. 

The music icon’s tribute echoes her unwavering love for Angélil and the devotion she has consistently expressed in past social media posts. 

Their love story began in the 1980s when René Angélil became Céline Dion’s manager. Since his passing in 2016, she has continued to honor his legacy.

The Canadian singer proved that love truly knows no bounds. On Tuesday, Dion marked what would have been her 30th wedding anniversary with a deeply emotional Instagram post dedicated to her late husband. 

Sharing a throwback photo from their 1994 wedding, the 56-year-old reflected on the profound impact Angélil continues to have on her life and their three sons—René-Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy.

“You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything for us. We miss you so much. Happy 30th anniversary, mon amour!” Dion wrote, capturing the depth of her devotion even years after his passing.

The nostalgic image showcased the couple on their wedding day, with Dion gazing lovingly into Angélil’s eyes, her bridal headpiece and veil framing her face, while the late manager gently held her hips, returning her gaze with equal tenderness.

Dion’s heartfelt 30th wedding anniversary tribute to the late Angélil touched hearts, with fans and friends flooding her post with supportive messages. Music executive Tommy Mottola praised Angélil as “one of the greatest men I have known,” calling him Dion’s “guiding light.”

Fans chimed in with similar sentiments, celebrating the enduring bond between the couple. “True love lasts forever,” one admirer wrote, while another called their relationship “the personification of true love!”

A third described the pair as a “dream team” and wished them a happy anniversary. A fourth noted this about Dion’s message: “simply the truth.. so much love and sincerity, strength and honor.”

One fan summed up the sentiments beautifully, writing, “You showed the world how love is supposed to be. I have no doubt he is looking down, today especially, and is just so proud of you and the boys. Happy Anniversary.”

The singer, known for her timeless ballads, has never missed an opportunity to honor his memory, even nearly two decades after his passing.

The Blast previously reported on another emotional moment in 2022, when Dion marked the anniversary of Angélil’s death. She shared an Instagram tribute featuring a monochrome photo of her late beau and a heartfelt excerpt from her 2019 song “Courage.”

“I would be lying if I said I’m fine; I think of you at least a hundred times cause in the echo of my voice, I hear your words just like you’re there,” she wrote, adding, “I miss you – Céline xx.” 

She also included the French translation of her message, replacing “I miss you” with “Tu me manques,” in a nod to their shared heritage. 

Dion once shared the story of how she met her soulmate Angélil and how their powerful love story began. Speaking to PEOPLE Magazine, the “I’m Alive” hitmaker revealed that they met when she was just 12 years old. 

Dion described her initial feelings for Angélil as respect and admiration. Over time, he became instrumental in shaping her into one of the most iconic voices worldwide.

Years into their professional relationship, a teenage Dion and the much older Angélil—26 years her senior—began a secret romance. 

Reflecting on their love, Dion stated, “We kind of kept it cool because of my career. I was living that love secretly. When I was at the age to be able to say to people. It was like bang! love! Love always wins.”

Despite the absence of her late husband and manager, Dion is set to continue her musical journey following a triumphant performance in Paris that left viewers in awe.

Dion demonstrated her determination to overcome adversity after a standout rendition of Édith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour” at the Eiffel Tower in July.

The Blast reported that her emotional performance marked a stunning resurgence after taking a break in 2022 to fight stiff person syndrome (SPS).

A source close to the star revealed, “She’s determined to keep proving everyone wrong by performing again,” adding that she feels her late Angélil’s spirit continues to guide her. The insider also shared that the success of her performance fueled her desire for more.

Though René Angélil has been gone for nearly a decade, his presence remains a guiding force in Céline Dion’s life and career.
