It’s hard to imagine a life without someone who meant the world to you. For Celine Dion, that reality became all too real back in 2016 when her husband, René Angélil, passed away after suffering a heart attack at the age of 73. Fast forward a few years later, and the legendary singer has decided to open up about her personal life, sharing how she’s coping—and whether love might find her again.

Still in Love After All These Years

During an appearance on the November 18 episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the 51-year-old icon spoke candidly about her dating life—or lack thereof. "I don’t date, and I don’t have a boyfriend," Celine admitted. But that doesn’t mean she’s closed the door on future possibilities. "It doesn’t mean I won’t find someone in my life," she continued. "If I do, that would be great. If I don’t, that will be great too, because I’m still in love."

Her words were heartfelt and honest, offering a glimpse into the emotional journey of a woman who has lost her partner but hasn’t lost her capacity for love. For Celine, the bond she shared with René remains unbroken, even years after his passing. It’s a testament to the kind of deep connection they had, one that transcends time and space.

A Heart That Still Belongs to René

When asked about her feelings for her late husband, Celine was clear: René still owns her heart. “Once you’re in love so much, it stays with you forever,” she explained. “I’ve been living my whole life with René, and he’s still within me. I see him through the eyes of my children every single day.”

Celine and René shared three beautiful sons together: René-Charles, now 18, and twins Nelson and Eddy, who are 9 years old. These boys serve as living reminders of the love story that defined her life, and they continue to inspire her daily. "I’m so passionate about life, and I’m so lucky to have these three incredible boys," she said. "But I keep everything open. If love comes knocking again, I won’t shy away from it."

Love Finds You When You Least Expect It

Despite her openness to the idea of finding love again, Celine insists she’s not actively searching for it. “I think love is something that happens when you least expect it,” she shared. “It’s not something you chase or force. It’s something you feel, something that comes naturally.”

She added, “If someone were to enter my life right now, I’d tell you about it because I’ve always been an open book. But until then, I’m focused on living my best life and cherishing the memories I have with René.” Her transparency is refreshing, reminding us all that healing takes time—and sometimes, love looks different than we expect.

For someone as iconic as Celine Dion, staying true to herself hasn’t always been easy. Rumors have swirled around her relationships, including her close friendship with Pepe Muñoz. During her interview, she addressed those whispers head-on. “I wasn’t surprised by the rumors,” she confessed. “Pepe is my best friend. We have such a good time together, but people seem to think that if a man and a woman are close, there must be something romantic going on.”

She laughed as she recounted setting the record straight. “One day, I just said, ‘He’s gay! He’s not my boyfriend—he’s gay! Calm down!’” Celine emphasized that there’s nothing wrong with holding hands or enjoying each other’s company without it being romantic. “We can go to the movies, we can eat at restaurants together—there’s no need to overthink it,” she added. “Everything’s cool.”
