Celine Dion Pays Tribute to Late Husband on 30th Wedding Anniversary: ‘You Are Everything For Us’

Celine Dion paid tribute to her late husband René Angélil on what would have been the couple’s 30th wedding anniversary on Tuesday (Dec. 17). In a post that included a throwback black and white picture of the two from their wedding day, Dion wrote, “You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything to us. We miss you so much. Happy 30th anniversary, mon amour!”

The post was signed by the singer and the couple’s three children, René-Charles, 23, and 14-year-old twins, Nelson and Eddy; check it out here. In the photo from the couple’s 1994 wedding, Dion, 56, is wearing an ornate, bejeweled headpiece connected to her flowing veil and is seen staring deeply into Angélil’s eyes as she lays her hands on the sides of his face.

The post drew a number of messages of support from Dion’s music industry peers, including her former boss, ex-Sony Music Entertainment CEO Tommy Mottola, who wrote, “Rene.. was one of the greatest men that I have ever known!! he was your guiding light,” while singer Debbie Gibson said, “sending love.”

Angélil — who was a pop singer himself in the 1960s when he performed with the group Les Baronets — died of throat cancer in January 2016, just days before what would have been his 74th birthday. The singer first met Angélil she she sang for him in an audition when she was 12, after which he became her manager and mortgaged his house to fund the pre-teen’s first record.They began dating seven years later in 1987 when Dion was 19-years-old. Their lavish ceremony at Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica on Dec. 17, 1994 was broadcast live on Canadian television.
