Celine Dion, 56, responds to romance rumors over younger companion, eight years after death of husband
|It has been eight years since Celine Dion lost her beloved husband and manager, Rene Angelil. Despite rumors swirling about her love life, Dion has made it abundantly clear that she’s not ready to move on from the man she loved.
Dion and Angelil’s relationship had an unconventional start. They first met when she was just 12 years old, and Angelil, 26 years her senior, eventually became her manager, playing a crucial role in shaping her career. Their professional relationship blossomed into romance, and they tied the knot in 1994.
Tragically, Angelil battled throat cancer for nearly two decades before passing away in 2016. His death left a void in Dion’s life that she acknowledges can never be filled. Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, Dion has stated that she is not actively seeking love or companionship.
While speculation has surrounded Dion’s relationship with Pepe Muñoz, a younger man she has been seen with publicly, she has clarified that Muñoz is a close friend and confidante, not a romantic partner. Dion values his friendship and support, especially during her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
As Dion continues her journey of recovery, fans can only hope to see her grace the stage once again, sharing her timeless talent with the world.
