Despite the luxury he enjoys, Nelson Angélil has also experienced his fair share of loss and pain. Let’s pull back the curtain and delve into the fantastic life of the legendary singer’s son.

Who Is Nelson Angélil? 

Nelson Angélil was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, on October 23, 2010. He is 12 years old and a United States citizen. He is of Caucasian-Lebanese-Syrian descent, thanks to his parents.

His father, René Angélil, was a well-known Lebanese-Canadian/Syrian-Canadian singer, manager, and director. However, his mother, Celine Dion, is a renowned French-Canadian singer.

How Did Nelson Angélil’s Parents Meet? They Share an Interesting Love Story

Nelson’s parents share an exciting love story. The couple first met when Celine was 12 and Rene was 38. Celine’s brother, Michel Dondalinger Dion, had sent Rene a tape of Celine singing, which led to Rene becoming her manager. As Celine grew older, she started developing romantic feelings for Rene, which she became more aware of in her late teens.

The famous singer confessed in her autobiography that she was fascinated with Rene and in love with him, despite knowing he couldn’t reciprocate her love. However, when Celine turned 20, their relationship finally began.

The lovebirds managed to keep their romance a secret for five years, with only their close family and friends aware of their relationship. Thirteen years after meeting, Rene proposed to Celine on her 25th birthday, and they tied the knot in December 1994.

What Happened to Nelson Angélil’s Father? 

In 1998, Nelson Angélil’s father, René, was diagnosed with throat cancer. Consequently, he underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his throat and initially recovered. However, the cancer returned, and by 2013, René’s health deteriorated to the point where he had to retire as Celine Dion’s manager. 

In 2015, Celine shared the extent of her husband’s physical decline, explaining that he could no longer use his mouth or eat, and she had to feed him through a feeding tube three times a day. Sadly, René’s battle with throat cancer ended on January 14, 2016, leaving the family devastated. 

In addition, two days after losing his father, Nelson Angélil also experienced the loss of his uncle, Daniel Dion, to cancer. Consequently, the family endured a double tragedy during this challenging time.

Does Nelson Angélil Have a Twin Brother?

Yes, he does. Nelson Angélil is one of the twin sons of Celine Dion. He was born prematurely with his brother Eddy Angélil at St. Mary’s Medical Center in Florida. Celine Dion and her husband, René Angélil, underwent multiple rounds of IVF before the twins’ arrival. 

Nelson and Eddie were born weighing just over five pounds each. Celine and Rene already had a nine-year-old son named René Charles at their birth. However, despite being born prematurely, Nelson Angélil and his twin brother became healthy children, receiving unconditional love and care from their parents.

In addition, Celine and Rene named the twin siblings after significant people in their lives. The famous singer named Nelson after the renowned South African activist Nelson Mandela, whom she once met while on tour. On the other hand, the couple named Eddy after Eddy Marnay, the producer of Celine Dion’s first five albums.

Is Celine Dion Battling a Rare Illness?

Yes, she is. In December 2022, the singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with a rare health condition called stiff person syndrome. This autoimmune disease causes uncontrollable muscle spasms that significantly impact her daily life. As a result, Nelson Angélil’s mom had to cancel her European concerts, and a team of specialists is closely monitoring her. 

Throughout her battle with the rare illness, Celine Dion’s children, including Nelson, have supported her constantly. Nelson, known for his maturity beyond his age and his siblings, has been a rock for their mother during this challenging time, endearing him to many. 

Rumors of Celine Dion’s death made the rounds on social media in March 2023, and her management swiftly responded, confirming that the news was fake and she was alive. The “I’m Alive” crooner’s management and social media users called out the person responsible for spreading false information, leading to the removal of the video from Facebook. 

What Does Nelson Angélil Do for a Living? 

Nelson Angélil is in his formative years and still has much to do before choosing a career path. However, he is doing well despite the challenges he has faced. With his mom’s net worth of a staggering $800 million, Nelson Angélil enjoys globetrotting adventures, multiple luxurious homes, and even enchanting trips to the magical realm of Disneyland.
