Age-Gap Controversy
Céline Dion and René Angélil knew the public wouldn’t accept their romance. The 26-year age disparity was huge, especially since the vocalist was only 20. Show business attracts predatory guys who take advantage of young women who desire to make it big, occasionally underage girls. The couple understood they may have appeared to date before it was legal because they began working together when Céline was 12. This was the beginning of a wonderful and flourishing romance that lasted till René’s last day. Céline claimed in My Story, My Dream that she loved the manager from a young age. He was romantically attracted to her but wouldn’t touch her till she was a woman. Her mother was frightened about the relationship, but the singer assured her, “I’m not a kid. This is a free nation. No one can prohibit me from loving whoever I choose.” She confirmed her relationship with René in a sad 1992 interview with journalist Lise Payette.
Stunning wedding
Celine Dion and René Angélil were in love. After coming out in 1992, the pair married on December 17, 1994. They moved from a secret marriage that only five people, including Céline’s mother, knew about to one of the most televised and publicised in Hollywood. Their wedding was live-streamed from Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica. Luxurious celebrities, friends, and relatives attended the wedding. They held candles while donning crowns as part of the religious ceremony. Even at the wedding ceremony, they faced public criticism, yet everyone recognised that they were sincerely in love.
