René was the only man I ever kissed and loved

“René was the only man I ever kissed and loved.”
— Céline Dion
It all started when Céline was just 12 years old…
A boy? No. A man who would change her entire life forever.

Years later, René — then 38 — heard her demo and mortgaged his own home to produce her first album.
Before fame. Before awards. Before fortune.
There was only faith… and love.
They shared 21 years of magic.
Raising three beautiful children , sharing a bond that went far beyond music.
René wasn’t just her husband.
He was her protector, her believer, her soulmate.
When René passed in 2016 after a long battle with cancer, Céline’s world fell silent.
But her heart never let go…
“Every night, I go to sleep imagining he’s beside me.

I perform with him in my heart.
I still feel married to him.”
Love like that doesn’t end.
It changes shape.
René lives on in every song, every stage, every heartbeat she gives to the world.
A love so deep, so real, it makes you believe in miracles.
