Singer Celine Dion, 41, and her husband Rene Angelil, 67, are reportedly expecting a second child. Celine said in December, 2008 that she had a frozen embryo left over from the fertility treatment that resulted in her son René-Charles, 8, and that she would love to have another child:
“We’d love to extend the family,” the singer – who herself is the youngest of 14 children – told CBS Early Show host Julie Chen.
Asked if she has a frozen embryo, Dion, whose son was conceived by in vitro fertilization after six years of trying, replied, “Yes, we do have a frozen embryo.”
Only, one may not be enough. “I started to talk to René-Charles about it. He said ‘Can we have four and five?’ ” said Dion.
“So if we’re blessed again, I will be very happy to come back and do another interview with you and talk about it. I will be the first one to be extremely happy.”
[From People, December 4, 2008]
Dion probably had more than just one embryo, and it sounds like in vitro worked for her and that she’s expecting a sibling for Renee. We’re still waiting for confirmation from her, but I hope this is true if she was hoping for it:
Celine Dion is reportedly expecting her second child.
A report in Tuesday’s Journal de Montreal states that the 41-year-old superstar and her husband, Rene Angelil, 67, conceived with the help of a team of fertility doctors in New York. The couple’s first child, Rene-Charles, was born in January 2001. Angelil has three other children from two previous marriages.
Dion, who has publicly expressed a desire to expand her family, has not yet confirmed the pregnancy on her official website.

Until I started covering celebrity gossip and reading up on fertility treatments I didn’t know much about all the options available. It looks like Dion could be having another baby – using her own fertilized egg from nine years ago. That’s kind of amazing when you think about it.
Dion finished her last tour, Taking Chances, in February after a year performing around the world. She previously had a five year run in her Las Vegas show, A New Day, which grossed $400 million, and ended in December, 2007. Dion certainly has an incredibly successful career, and now she could be adding to her family. Congratulations to Celine and her husband.
UPDATE: Celine’s rep just confirmed to “various media outlets” that Celine is, in fact, pregnant. The rep says, “Celine and Rene [Ang[e]lil] are very happy… They are crazy in love over the news and … they are overjoyed.” Congratulations to the happy family!

It’s Rene, not Renee. Renee is a girl’s name.
Sorry to nitpick.

I hope this is true. I love Celine Dion and there are just some people in the world that you WANT to see have more kids. That would be awesome if she is pregnant again.
Now I just wish they’d cut some of their first child’s hair.

The thought of anyone actually having sex with Celine Dion makes my heart shudder. Her face and nose could stop an atomic clock.

I completely forgot about Celine. She’s actually a really good performer.

@ Diablo – yeah, but have you SEEN her husband? He doesn’t have the most options, let’s just say. Also, he bagged her when she was 16. I guess he really likes her.

You know how when you see something – like the first picture for instance – and you try to repress a real big laugh? Don’t. You’ll just end up with snot all over your computer screen like I did.

LMAO!!!!! Bill Hicks!!
Am I the only one that thinks it’s going to suck real bad when he loses his father at such a young age?
When this kid is 10 years old, his/her dad will be pushing 80.

I hope she has a happy, healthy, boring (as in nothing but what is supposed to happens, happens) pregnancy.
It is amazing that a baby conceived 9 years ago can just now be starting to develop in pregnancy. It is also kinda scary in a way. Unless that kid was in my own freezer or something, I would be afraid of some mishap where she was transferred into another woman’s uterus.

My gosh! Will the embryo want to stay in her uterus until the birth! I don’t think so! She’s totally freaking me out! She looks like more a man than a woman!
