The news was announced by Dion’s spokesperson who informed the media that the diva is expecting twins and is into her 14th week of pregnancy.
Dion’s husband and manager Rene Angelil also confirmed the news and said that the couple was ecstatic after learning about the pregnancy.
The pregnancy is special for 42-year old Dion and 68-year old Angelil as Dion got pregnant in her sixth attempt of undergoing in vitro fertilization along with acupuncture treatments. All the 5 previous efforts of in vitro fertilization had proved a failure for the Quebec star.
Even last year the aging couple sadly announced that Dion was no longer pregnant after a claim few months prior that she was expecting her second child.
The couple is expected to learn about the gender of the babies next month when they visit the hospital for a routine checkup.
Dion and Angelil married in 1994 and so far have a son named Rene Charles who is 9 years old. In “The Oprah Winfrey Show” this year, Dion expressed her desire to have a second child after the tragic episode last year. Looks like her prayers have been answered in a way she couldn’t even imagine.
Let’s wait and see if Dion still has the desire of more babies after she’s done with the diaper changing routine of her twins.
