According toABC News, Dion had fertility struggles and got pregnant via in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
However, Dion went through a major tragedy before becoming a mother of three.
“It happened very early during the pregnancy.
But still, it shocks you.”
After Nelson and Eddy were born, Dion and her husband were feeling all kinds of emotions.
The family spent the next few months adjusting to being a family of five.
Three years later, they received some devastating news that changed their lives forever.
Her husband, Rene Angelil, had been diagnosed with throat cancer in 1998.
He underwent treatment and went into remission, but the cancer returned in late 2013.
He underwent surgery the following year and continued treatment.
Angelil died in January 2016 at the age of 73.
A few months later, Dion revealed that her husband died after a fall.
Dion said that her husband died while she was performing.
“That evening, I didn’t want to wake him.
It was the nurse who found him the next day.
Distraught, she came to get me.”
At the time, Dion and Angelil’s oldest son was 14 years old and the twins were 5.
