The celebrated singer, who became a widow following the death of her husband, René Angélil, has navigated her personal and professional life with dignity. Angélil was not just her husband but the mastermind behind her soaring career, and his passing left a profound void in Dion’s life.

The couple’s remarkable love story began when Dion was a mere 12 years old and Angélil, 26 years her senior, took on a pivotal role in both her burgeoning career and later, her personal life.

“I started to know René when I was 12 years old,” Dion revealed, highlighting the deep respect and love that formed the foundation of their relationship.

During that period, he worked on turning her into one of the best vocalists that the world has come to know today. Dion disclosed that in the beginning she did not write songs, could not read music nor play an instrument. However, because she had Angélil as her manager, he ensured she was surrounded by influential people.

The pair first met when Angélil asked young Dion to sing for him in his office, leaving him emotional. The superstar, who her mother accompanied at the time, shared that her future manager became a part of the family from that moment onwards.

Two years later, Dion burst onto the music scene thanks to Angélil, taking the world by storm. While rising to superstardom, Dion also developed an affection for her future spouse, admitting she used to sleep with his picture under a pillow.

“But I never dared tell him that I dreamed of him every night,” the star revealed in her memoir “Celine Dion: My Story, My Dream.”

At the time, the Canadian music producer’s marriage was said to be on the verge of collapse and this gave Dion the courage to fall for him even more, but secretly.

It wasn’t until April 1988 that she made her feelings known after winning a TV singing competition in Dublin. “I threw myself into his arms. Later that night, I was seated at the head of the bed, legs folded under the covers. I was happy about being alone with the man I loved,” Dion penned.

After keeping their romance a secret, Dion and Angélil revealed they were a couple four years later. Despite their significant age difference and the ensuing public gaze, their relationship blossomed into a profound love story, highlighted by a grandiose wedding in 1994.

The duo’s new life together was also marked by both professional milestones and personal challenges, including Angélil’s health struggles. The talent manager was first diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma on a lymph gland, a type of cancer in his neck in 1999.

The couple’s journey to parenthood, despite Angélil’s diagnosis and treatment for cancer, underscored their unwavering bond and shared commitment. The two became first-time parents when they welcomed their eldest son, René-Charles, in January 2001.

Dion and Angélil expanded their family several years later by welcoming fraternal twin sons, Nelson and Eddy in October 2010. After becoming parents for the second and third time, the couple faced yet another health battle.

Dion, demonstrating the depth of her love and commitment, paused her illustrious career to support Angélil through his health battles. In 2020, she postponed her Las Vegas residency and canceled her Asia tour including several other work-related engagements to be by his side.

This was after Angélil had a tumor removed from his throat. His condition led to a very challenging and stressful period in the couple’s life.

“I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so, it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children,” Dion expressed in a statement at the time, while thanking fans for their love and immense support.

After a year hiatus, Dion returned to the stage and opened up about caring for her ailing spouse during that period. Angélil had undergone several procedures at Boston hospitals by that time and was based at the couple’s Las Vegas home after being on a feeding tube for two years.

In a candid August 2015 interview, Dion revealed they had asked doctors how long Angélil had to live but they would not give them a clear answer. Her husband wanted to know.

“I’ll say, ‘You’re scared? I understand. Talk to me about it.'” “And René says to me, ‘I want to die in your arms.’ OK, fine, I’ll be there, you’ll die in my arms,” Dion recounted the lovebirds’ conversations in his final days.

Angélil sadly passed away in January 2016 at age 73, just two days shy of his 74th birthday. Four months later, his beloved wife spoke candidly about their last moments together during an interview on “Good Morning America.”

“I saw him suffer, and that is the worst,” Dion recalled. The five-time Grammy Award winner added that though she does not live with him physically, he still lives inside of her.

The mother of three shared that she told her love to go in peace and not to worry. She told him that she and their kids would be okay once he passed on.

Following Angélil’s passing, Dion’s close relationship with a colleague sparked rumors of a new love interest. However, Dion has clarified the nature of their relationship, emphasizing that he serves as a confidante and friend rather than a romantic partner.

“He’s my best friend,” Dion explained in an April 2022 interview, dispelling rumors and sharing the significant role he has played in her life in the years since her husband’s death.

She further revealed that the man mistaken to be her romantic partner is in actual fact, a gay man. Dion acknowledged that people might not have been aware of his sexuality.

“He did so much for me, even just holding my hand. It’s something that I haven’t had for a long time, a hug from a 6’3’’ man…It was wonderful,” the music superstar said of her relations with her pal.

She further explained that people sincerely believed they were romantically involved while adding how much of an impact her good friend has had in her life. “He did so much for me, for my mental health, my spirituality, my strength… my inner strength,” she admitted.

Social media users have commented on Dion’s love life on X (formerly known as Twitter) over the years. In January 2019, one person wrote, “She is allowed for her heart to go on!…”

“I really hope she finds love again. Happy she has a good friend to lean on,” said someone else. Another penned, “Love you Celine, be happy. Your wonderful hubby would want that for you.”

The man rumored to be dating Dion is Pepe Muñoz, who became her backup dancer in 2017. Muñoz was first discovered in 2003 at age 19 when he danced on the sidewalk for tips in Madrid.

After that, he was cast in the Spanish production of the Broadway musical, “Cats.” Muñoz, who is also an illustrator, recalled in a July 2017 interview that although he did not sing, he agreed to audition either way and even bagged the role.

Since that experience, he has gone on to make a name for himself in international theater. Muñoz has appeared in productions such as “Dirty Dancing,” and “West Side Story.”

In June 2023, Muñoz posted a black-and-white image of himself wearing only black pants without a shirt on Instagram. His followers gushed about his looks in the comments section. “Beautiful!” commented one follower. Another stated, “Photogenic!” While someone else said, “Gorgeous,” on Muñoz’s social media upload.

Despite the ongoing curiosity about her personal life, Dion remains focused on her family, career, and personal well-being. She previously revealed that she was not ready for a relationship when asked about it in a 2019 interview.

“I don’t know. I have no idea,” she said. “But right this second, love is so big right now in my life, with my kids, with life itself. I’m not thinking about a relationship and falling in love again. I don’t. Do I have to say that it will never happen anymore? I don’t know. I don’t know.”

Dion, who made headlines after presenting Taylor Swift with an award, continues to cherish her fans’ support while honoring Angélil’s memory through her devotion to their children and her career. On the fifth anniversary of her late husband’s death, the businesswoman paid a heartfelt tribute to him on Instagram, alongside a close-up photo of the couple holding hands.

“René, it’s been 5 years already… There’s not one day that we don’t think about you. […] You are in our hearts and in our lives forever. We love you, Celine, René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy xx…” Dion captioned her post.

Eights months after Angélil’s death, her beloved wife reflected on their decades-long romance, revealing that he was the only man that she had ever kissed.

“I never kissed another man in my life. So the man of my life was my partner, and we were one,” she divulged. Dion admitted she is still in love with the father of her kids, whom she was married to for 21 years and deemed “the greatest man” in the world.

In discussing her relationship with Muñoz, Dion offered a reflection on finding support and companionship in the most unexpected places. The public’s interest in her personal life endures, yet it is her own words that provide the most genuine insight into her journey through love, loss, and perseverance.

As one woman discovered, the doorbell camera also recorded the actions of family members, even when they least expected it. Read her story and find out what she saw on the app—it left her speechless.

Kristina’s Husband Was Too Sick to Go On The Trip

Kaylie Kristina, known as @kaylie271 on TikTok, was excited for quality time with family and friends in 2021. The trip was booked for her family of four, a best friend, and her child. However, Kristina’s son became sick shortly before they were set to leave.

On the morning of their departure, Kristina’s husband complained that he was also unwell. The couple decided it would be best for the father and son to stay home. The loving mother was sad to leave two of her loved ones behind but understood the circumstances. Little did she know that her husband had other plans up his sleeve.

Kristina Got a Doorbell Notification

The TikToker settled into their accommodation, and while away, she received an unexpected phone call from her husband. She shared that he told her their doorbell camera was not working.

The family had changed internet service providers, so Kristina thought it was an issue on their side. However, later that day, she was surprised when she got a notification from her doorbell camera app.

The mother of two quickly checked the footage and was alarmed by what she saw on the recording. Kristina initially thought there were two strangers on their porch. She said:

“So I saw the video when I was away on a trip with our daughter. I called him because at first I just saw an image of two bodies on the porch and said, ‘There are two creeps on the front porch go check it out.'”

The Devastating Discovery

When Kristina took a second look at the footage, she came to a devastating realization—her husband was one of the people in the video. She shared the clip on TikTok with a text overlay that stated

“When your husband is too sick to go on the family trip you planned.”

The footage showed a man, her husband, walking out the door and observing the outside area. Then, an unknown woman appeared, and the pair shared a quick kiss before she left the premises. Per Kristina, the woman was one of her husband’s colleagues from work.

‘The Damage Is Done’

Kristina revealed that she immediately confronted her husband on the phone, and he initially denied the accusations of infidelity. In a follow-up TikTok video of her sitting in a car, she revealed what her husband said after she caught him cheating.

Using the chorus of Taylor Swift’s “Safe & Sound,” she revealed he told her, “Just close your eyes.” A TikTok user replied to the post, laughing and shocked that Kristina’s husband would say that, leading the mother of two to confirm he used those words.

She also shared that her husband claimed it “wasn’t him” on camera. However, he eventually confessed the truth when she threatened to show him the video evidence of the incident.

The grainy black-and-white video, which had a timestamp of 10 p.m., quickly gained traction online. Many people wanted to know more, and the TikToker shared a series of follow-up clips notifying netizens about the developments.

She expressed: “His reaction to me finding out about the video was to first turn it around on me and all the things I did wrong in his eyes.” He soon realized he was to blame and apologized for his actions. She added:

“But the damage is done.”

Kristina Kicked Him Out of Their House

Kristina gave her husband five hours, the time it took her to travel home from their vacation spot, to pack his things and leave. She added that “the locks have been changed, and he no longer resides here.”

The TikToker also revealed plans to file for divorce and said she blamed her spouse for opening the door to infidelity. But, she also placed responsibility on the woman. Social media users had questions for Kristina, and others shared their views.

He Had No Respect for His Family

When a viewer asked Kristina why her husband would cheat if he knew about the doorbell camera, she replied: “Ask him.” Another netizen added their opinion and offered a reason for the infidelity. They stated:

“Some people just don’t care. Obviously, he has no respect for his wife, home, and children, to bring [his mistress] to his house where they live.”

In another video, Kristina also said she was disgusted that her husband brought someone into their home while her son was present. After getting a lot of support from social media users, the parent shared her gratitude.

The Mother Appreciated the Online Support and Is Now Thriving

Kristina was grateful for the overwhelming support from people worldwide. She revealed that being a single mother was challenging, but she was doing great with her children. The TikToker expressed:

“Going viral has been a very surreal experience. I don’t know what about my video interested everyone because people cheat all the time. [Most] people have been very supportive, which I really appreciate.”

On March 29, 2022, Kristina celebrated reaching the halfway mark in her divorce proceedings against her husband. Speaking through a voice-over clip, she said she didn’t like talking about things before they were finished, but so far, it was a “masterpiece.”

On November 27, 2022, she gave another update about her life via TikTok by sharing that she’d started dating again. Sharing a screenshot of her conversation with a man, she revealed that her car was hit by a truck while trying to find parking at a mall where their first meeting was meant to happen!

In late October 2023, Kristina shared a TikTok clip revealing that it has been two years since her divorce, and now she is “free” and has “missed sparkling.” The video showed her clubbing, going on trips, and living her best life!

Kristina’s story showcased the shattering reality of cheating—it breaks families apart and leaves everyone heartbroken. Hopefully, her story will encourage partners to think twice before they are unfaithful to their loved ones.

Additionally, in an industry where youth often reign supreme, these pairs of celebrities serve as a reminder that age is but a number due to how glorious they look. Their appearance is a testament that true charisma knows no bounds.

As we delve into the lives of these pairs of celebrities, we uncover not only the secrets behind their age-defying appearances but also the resilience and tenacity that have propelled them to the pinnacle of success.

Cher and Sally Field

Cher is often referred to as “The Queen of Comebacks” and “The Queen of Reinventions,” nicknames the 77-year-old has earned. Cher has reinvented herself each decade as a singer and an actress, rising and dusting herself clean each time she was down. The singer has an Academy Award for her role in “Moonstruck.” Cher is also a Grammy and Emmy winner.

The “Believe” star is not a lover of age. When asked, “So you and age, you’re are not friends?”, she answered, “No. My mother didn’t mind. But I do. I hate it.”

Still, the beloved entertainer isn’t done, she is writing a memoir about her life full of ups and downs. “It’s very difficult because I’ve lived too long, and I’ve done too many things. And so it would have to be, like, an encyclopedia, truthfully,” she acknowledged.

Sally Field is 77 just like her fellow actress, Cher. The actress has achieved a lot in a decades-long career. She has bagged two Academy Awards. Her extensive work on screen and stage has also led her to win Golden Globe Awards, Tony Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and British Academy Film Awards.

Sally Field has also shared her views on aging in Hollywood. She noted, “My profession is very much about what I look like rather than my capacity to do what it is that I’ve worked my whole life to be able to do.”

The actress added that the real questions shouldn’t be about how she is aging or how her skin is adhering to her bones but about how she is putting one foot in front of the other despite her knees hurting and the wear and tear her body has had to endure.

To Sally, the hardest part about aging is figuring out how to stay healthy against all the things that come at her in her older years.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Ellen DeGeneres

Jamie Lee Curtis and Ellen DeGeneres are in the same age group. However, Ellen is a few months older than Jamie. Jamie, 65, got her big break in acting in 1978 in “Halloween.”

The actress, who has won a Golden Globe Award, has starred in other films such as “Halloween Kills,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” and “Haunted Mansion.” Jamie Lee Curtis is still making major moves. She co-wrote her first graphic novel “Mother Nature,” released in 2023, and is thinking about turning it into a movie.

Jamie explained, “I’m 65 years old this November, but my point is that I have no time to waste. I joke about it, but I’m going to die way sooner than later, and therefore, I have s— to do! This is one of the things that I needed to do, and I’m excited about it.”

Ellen DeGeneres is an Emmy-winning talk show host. The 66-year-old went from doing stand-up comedy to hosting her daytime talk show “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” She has also hosted award shows such as the Grammy Awards in 1996 and 1997 and the Oscars in 2014.

Ellen is renowned not only for her comedic talents and philanthropic endeavors but also for maintaining a remarkably youthful complexion. The show host has openly shared insights into her skincare routine, emphasizing the importance of feeling confident and comfortable in one’s own skin.

She expressed that she feels most radiant and confident, “when my skin feels hydrated and clean and fresh and smooth and bright.”

King Charles III and Ozzy Osbourne

King Charles III was the longest-serving Prince of Wales in English, British, and United Kingdom history. The 75-year-old’s coronation in 2023 saw him ascend to the throne of the British monarch.

His Majesty succeeded Queen Elizabeth II after her death and he has the responsibility to showcase the relevance of the 1,000-year-old monarchy in a modern society comprising citizens from diverse global backgrounds.

King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. His Majesty has to serve at the pleasure of the people and uphold the monarch while battling cancer in his older years. Still, the king and royal experts insist he is up to the challenge.

Ozzy Osbourne, born John Michael Osbourne, is hailed as one of the founding figures of heavy metal music and stands as one of its most commercially successful and iconic artists.

Nicknamed the Godfather of Heavy Metal, Ozzy has won awards such as Grammys and MTV Europe Music Awards. The 75-year-old has also been battling health issues and had to stop touring, something he wasn’t happy about.

He confessed, “I’m taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will. But it’s been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life.” As for now, the “No More Tears” singer said that maybe, he should just accept things as they are.

Priscilla Presley and Helen Mirren

Priscilla Presley is known for her collected demeanor and surreally youthful visage. The actress, who was Elvis Presley’s wife, considers her collaboration with Leslie Nielsen in the “Naked Gun” trilogy as the pinnacle of her acting career.

The 78-year-old underwent cosmetic surgery in 2008 and got less than satisfying results. Priscilla Presley became a victim of botched cosmetic surgery at the hands of Dr. Daniel Serrano, who was known for injecting industrial, low-grade silicone into the faces of women.

Daniel, who was sent to prison, wasn’t even a licensed doctor in the US. The injections Daniel gave caused lumps, paralysis, and holes in the faces of some of the women. Priscilla, who did not know was being injected with silicone had to undergo corrective work.

On the other hand, Helen Mirren is a phenomenal actress, who has opened up about ageism in the film industry. The 78-year-old is a recipient of numerous accolades, including the SAG Award, Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Critics’ Choice Award.

The Oscar-winning actress doesn’t subscribe to ageism in Hollywood. She noted, “Whether you’re 25, 45, or 85, you look great for who you are, not for how old you are.” Helen also wears her hair gray and long, acknowledging that it is an unacceptable thing but she does it to break the rules.

Helen has embraced getting older, saying one of its advantages is getting rid of the ridiculous insecurities she used to hold on to. Now, she tells people to celebrate getting older and not to fight it. “You die young or you get old and I don’t want to die young. I’m too interested in life. It’s wonderful, so celebrate that and enjoy it,” she added.

Richard Dean Anderson and Richard Gere

Richard Dean Anderson got his big break in the daytime drama “General Hospital.” Now retired, Anderson went on to star in other productions such as “MacGyver,” “Pandora’s Clock,” and “Legend.”

The 74-year-old was spotted in 2022 going about in his business in his Malibu neighborhood after a five-and-a-half-year absence from the public. This sighting happened eight days after his 72nd birthday.

Unlike Richard Gere, Anderson is no longer active in the entertainment scene. Richard Dean Anderson is living his older years in Malibu, where he helped design and build his Midwest-style home, which was once featured in Architectural Digest.

Richard Gere is a producer, actor, pianist, and music writer. The multitalented actor has starred in “Pretty Woman,” “American Gigolo,” and “Maybe I Do.” Gere is a humanitarian who has been prominent in “Survival International” advertising campaigns.

At 74, Gere has embraced aging. “I love getting older,” he said. The actor revealed that when his dad was 95, he aspired “to that sort of longevity.” Gere’s dad, Homer George Gere, died aged 100. “Clearly I am not as physically flexible or strong as I was when I was a kid, but I think I am mentally flexible,” added Gere.

Richard Gere is determined to make the most of his older years. He meditates every day and doesn’t let anger linger in him anymore. The actor has also embraced his emotional side. “I don’t find it difficult to cry. The last time I did was two days ago, just thinking about how kind people can be,” he revealed.

Steve Martin and Henry Winkler

Writer, actor, and producer Steve Martin began his writing career on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,” which earned him an Emmy Award. Steve went on to release comedy albums and perform in front of tens of thousands of people before starting his acting career.

Some of the movies Steve Martin did are “The Pink Panther,” “Love The Coopers,” and “Bringing Down The House.” The Grammy Award-winning star is full of creative ideas at 78. He has worked on “Only Murders in the Building.”

Steve now says he is at another peak of his career and vows to continue showing up. He said, “I’m really not interested in retiring. I’m not. But I would just work a little less. Maybe.”

On the other hand, Henry Winkler’s main aim was to be an actor after he finished college. The actor has a Bachelor’s degree from Emerson College and a master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Drama.

Henry Winkler landed his first major film role in “The Lords of Flatbush” and is now a celebrated entertainer who has won a Golden Globe Award and Emy Awards. The actor is also busy at 78, as in 2023, he released his memoir “Being Henry: The Fonz… and Beyond.”

As for retirement, Henry shared, “You know, people say, ‘Are you gonna retire?’ I don’t even know how to say the word. Working is in my DNA.” The actor added that being an actor and a writer has kept his mind agile and are things he isn’t letting go of soon.

Madonna and Andie MacDowell

Madonna is an ambitious entertainer who never stops reinventing herself. She has bagged the Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Brit Awards, among others in her decades-long career.

Still, her career as an actress and movie director hasn’t received much positive praise. As a singer, she has millions of adoring fans and has sold three hundred million records and CDs.

Madonna was awarded Woman of The Year by Billboard Women Music in 2016. The 65-year-old shared that as a woman when one gets older in the entertainment industry it is considered a “sin,” and attracts criticism.

“You will be vilified and you will definitely not be played on the radio,” she added. Even with the challenges she faced as a woman who embraced sexuality in Hollywood, Madonna held her head high and continued pursuing her passion. “People say I am so controversial but I think the most controversial thing I have ever done is to stick around,” said Madonna.

Andie MacDowell is a producer, writer, and actress. She made history as the first actress in US cinema to achieve consecutive number-one films at the American box office in the same year.

The 65-year-old isn’t fazed by aging. She divulged, “Every once in a while, I’ll say to someone, ‘I’m old,’ and they’ll say, ‘No, you’re not!’ Like it’s some horrible thing to say.” Andie MacDowell added that the truth is that she is old and she has no time to waste feeling shame about this.

“I do think there is the importance of seeing beauty at every age and it’s not limited to a certain age,” added Andie. The actress rocks her gray hair and takes good care of her body skin, and brain. She noted, “I want to be old. I’m tired of trying to be young. I don’t want to be young. I’ve been young.”

Barbra Streisand and Joy Behar

Barbra Streisand is 81. She is one of the most successful people in the entertainment industry, holding several titles, including actress, singer, producer, and director. The movie star has won awards such as Oscars, BAFTAs, Daytime Emmy, and Primetime Emmy.

Barbra is also a lover of fashion. She doesn’t believe that people should dress their age. The movie star noted, “People should express themselves and wear whatever they feel on any given day. And that has nothing to do with age.”

Early in her career, wasn’t one to overtly express her sensuality. But now, she can pose in a shirt with no pants to show off her legs. “I was too afraid to be seen that way at that time. Now I’m too old to care,” said the actress, who even in her 80s owns antique dolls, film costumes, vintage clothes, and a Fortuny gown.

Joy Behar is known for starring in “Manhattan Murder Mystery,” “Hall Pass,” and Ice Age: Continental Drift.” Joy has also been a longtime co-host on the “The View.” The 81-year-old’s career is going strong.

Joy Behar said she was happy being part of “The View,” praising it as the most-watched show on daytime television. She added that she was not leaving the show anytime soon. “I just signed a contract so I’ll be here for a while. I have no plans to retire,” she added.

When Joy turned 81, her co-hosts celebrated her birthday live on air but they noted that she is never too excited about it. Joy chipped in, “I can’t get excited. I am just glad to be alive.”

In the dynamic world of celebrity, age proves to be just a number for these remarkable duos. From Cher and Sally to Madonna and Andie, they defy conventional aging norms, inspiring fans to embrace every stage of life with grace and purpose. Their talent also truly knows no age limit.
