Céline Dion Says Late Husband Is 'For Sure Watching Over' Twin Sons on Their 10th Birthday

Céline Dion is proud of her youngest sons — and she knows their late father René Angélil is too.

On Friday, the singer, 52, celebrated her twin boys Nelson and Eddy as they turned 10 years old, sharing throwback photos of the pair as toddlers on Instagram, as well as side-by-side then-and-now comparisons to highlight how much they've grown.

Dion explained that her late husband René Angélil, who died of cancer in 2016, is surely just as proud of them as she is. The artist also shares son René-Charles, 19, with Angélil.

"Nelson and Eddy, you have been bringing so much joy, love and laughter into our lives every single day for the past 10 years," Dion captioned the post. "You make me, your big brother and your Dad, who is for sure watching over you, so very proud."

"Happy birthday my beautiful boys! We love you so very much… – Mom, RC and Dad xx… 🐾," she concluded.
