Celine Dion's Son Is All Grown Up And Seriously Handsome

international superstar celine dion had three children with her late husband renee anjalil younger twins nelson and eddie and eldest son renee charles time has flown and renee charles is all grown up here's a look at how celine dion's oldest son became the gorgeous young man he is today celine dion didn't start planning to have a family until she was in her 30s which is widely considered by the medical community to be a more difficult age to conceive a child what's more her husband renee anjalil was diagnosed with cancer in 1998 and was undergoing chemotherapy and radiation forcing the couple to freeze some of his sperm however his sperm count was apparently already too low for standard ivf treatment after a specialized procedure known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection dion finally completed a successful pregnancy rene charles angelil was born in palms west hospital in loxahatchee florida on january 25th 2001. according to david foster a record producer and close family friend it was a long-awaited joy the dion family goes much farther than just celine and her children dion is the youngest of 14 kids the amount of children no doubt stressed the family's already struggling financials as their father worked as a butcher for 167 dollars a week but we were never poor i think they gave us the essentials dion told vanity fair we were safe and warm and taken care of three or four of us in the same bed was normal to us we were given love and affection and support what else did we need it all appears to have been for the best though as now renee charles has a whopping 13 aunts and uncles to dote on him dion's sister lyette told people celine won't be seeing much of her little boy everyone will want to hold him nearly 10 years after renee charles miraculous birth his mother gifted him with not one but two siblings dion gave birth to twin boys on october 23 2010 at the age of 42 celine was starting to feel the exhaustion of motherhood and had to focus on the babies over renee charles she told hello canada my little boy renee charles has a fever and i want to be there for him but i'm breastfeeding the babies every two and a half hours even at the young age of 10 renee charles showed he was mature enough to be a supportive big brother dion said to oprah magazine he was an amazing trooper very sensitive for every trial he was with us emotionally however he was hilariously less than impressed with his new siblings when they finally arrived dion admitted renee charles is looking at them like mom the only thing they do is look around and cry it looks like he eventually came around to the value of family however celine's instagram is full of loving photos of the entire family together the regional quebec press had a very weird fascination with renee charles's hair when he was growing up articles constantly asked why dion let her sons grow their hair so long what's more in 2013 dion went on katie katie couric's talk show and revealed that one of the twins nelson liked running around in high heels dion joked i don't know how he does it but i'm not the only one in the family who loves shoes believe me the internet responded with its usual tact but dion didn't and still doesn't seem to care in 2018 she launched her gender-neutral line of children's clothing salinu nunu as she told cnn she was inspired by her experiences raising renee charles and the twins i thought they were going to go for you know the big superheroes they were looking at princesses she told cnn they all wanted to be minnie mouse and i end up saying to myself you know what it's okay you know why it's okay because they're talking they're finding themselves renee charles was able to grow up without a hard focus on gender expectations dion made sure renee charles and his brothers got to have as much of a normal upbringing as possible she told oprah i always say to the bodyguards when we go bowling for example if the fans come don't tell them no but ask them if they can wait because i'm having a moment with my child and if they don't mind waiting i will be pleased to give them an autograph if they want furthermore she apparently built a private home in florida where the entire family including her parents and 13 siblings could enjoy each other in peace renee charles likely didn't have to suffer through sharing one bathroom with all of them though renee anjalil had recovered from his initial battle with throat cancer in 1999 but in 2013 the horrible disease reared its ugly head again he underwent surgery to remove the tumor in winter of that year but the cancer did not subside for the last two years of his life he would eat through a feeding tube as his health steadily declined at the time renee charles was still just a young teenager celine opened up about her son's experience to us weekly saying i have tremendous respect for my oldest renee charles because he's showing strength to see his dad this way because he's been his anchor when he was younger he knew his dad was older but they bonded a lot i'm sure it's hard for him renee anjalil sadly passed away at the age of 73 on january 14 2016. renee charles gave the eulogy at his own father's funeral demonstrating strength and maturity at such a young age his speech showed nothing but love in the face of tragedy he said to the congregation 15 years is not a long time for a son to get to know his father you had a busy life but we were communicating through golf hockey poker and smoked meat and a lot of other wonderful food bonding more and more as time went by he went on to assure loved ones that he would keep his father's memory alive in the young twins nelson and eddie you left me now with enough good memories of you to share with my younger brothers he added as they grow older without you being around i'll make sure to pass on what i've learned from you the whole aujulial family appears to have kept this promise and keeps renee's memory alive every single day dion told the sun in 2017 we kiss him every night actually we have a little ritual where we say good night to him with a little picture and all that she wrote to her eldest son in an instagram post for his 18th birthday your father continues to guide you helping you to make the right choices despite his celebrity parents renee charles grew into a pretty average teenage boy he joined up with the local hockey teams and he's also into golf very proud of him he's into music he loves it he's into golf and he's into hockey as well there's hilarious footage of dion darling of canada and five-time grammy winner dancing it up hockey mom style at one of her son's games in montreal she's even sporting a jersey with his name and number on it it's beyond adorable renee charles might have spent most of his childhood in nevada but there is canadian blood running through his veins outside of that he seems to enjoy hanging out with his friends just like any other teen it appears as if dion's down-to-earth parenting has paid off and she couldn't be more proud she told us weekly he's a wonderful young man he's entered his teenage years and sometimes we can go really crazy for some teenagers but so far so good as once evidenced by his instagram renee charles is fluent in french translating many of his posts into the romantic language it all makes perfect sense though given his parents french canadian heritage grammy winning producer david foster recalled the first time he heard dion sing he said she was belting out top 40 hits singing words and she didn't even know what she was saying she didn't speak hardly any english at all at that point since then she has released several albums in both english and french dion along with her large extended family has been speaking to her children in french since they were young introducing them early clearly they all grew up in a two-language household he may have had a down-to-earth upbringing but renee charles did get a few celebrity perks in his life he attended the billboard music awards in 2016 giving his mom the icon award in a surprise appearance while witnessing his mom's emotional performance he managed to rub elbows with other celebrities like rihanna a year later he returned to the 2017 billboard music awards and met up with even more stars he met up with the popular band bts after they had just won the award for top social artist are you a fan of bts yeah they're pretty good i like them yeah yeah renee charles's instagram used to show off pictures of the young teen hanging with big names like drake dj khaled and miley cyrus then in august 2018 he took a snapshot with rapper post malone and khalid at the oshiyaga music festival in montreal considering all these appearances it should come as no surprise that renee charles has a passion for music and even released some of his own tunes under the name big tip the music gene continues to be strong in the dion family in may 2018 renee charles dropped six songs onto his soundcloud four original rap songs and two covers of the weekend songs under the name big tip the covers hit number one on two of the canadian soundcloud r b charts for that week he quickly shared his success with mom telling the montreal gazette i played it to her for the first time i just felt like keeping it on the low but she loved it she was just kind of stunned at first because she'd never heard anything from me critics were skeptical of the teen's privilege as the son of a famous artist but renee charles is not interested in using his mom's connections he said to the montreal gazette i could have been like hey mom i'm kind of into this music stuff let's do something about it but i wanted to prove to myself that i'm able to do it not just because my mom is who my mom is there's no telling where his very young career will go the girls are starting to come now i'm starting to be stressed how are you coping with that i have do i have a choice it's possible dion worries due to her own difficulties growing up and dating renee anjalil who was 28 years her senior she admitted to access hollywood if i reversed roles i'll see if i think of him and he comes to me with this lady who has kids and she's 45 and she thinks she knows best i'd be like take your hand off of my son mama bear instincts aside she trusts him enough to make good decisions in an interview on lorraine she said he does stuff sometimes that i have to say i don't necessarily agree with what he chooses to try but as long as he's using his intelligence and his brain i trust him i trust him but i'm very very proud of him you're a cool mum in december 2020 renee charles took to instagram to share a tease that music was quote on the way less than a month later
