Celine Dion is a world-famous singer and a proud mom of three sons.

In June, René-Charles Angélil, joined Dion at the New York premiere of her documentary, "I Am: Céline Dion,", which documents her journey with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disease.

In an emotional speech at the premiere, Dion thanked her sons for their "daily love and support."

"I love you very much," she added after thanking them each by name.

Earlier in the year, Dion was joined by all three of her sons as she watched the Rolling Stones perform at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The family went backstage to see Mick Jagger, and Dion shared a photo on Instagram of herself and her sons with the rock star.

Since announcing in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, Dion has leaned on her sons for support.

In February, Dion made a surprise appearance at the 66th Grammy Awards, where she was escorted on stage by René-Charles Angélil.

Dion and René Angélil welcomed René-Charles Angélil on Jan. 25, 2001.

Dion shared a birthday tribute to her eldest son on Instagram in 2022 and wrote in part, "I've been thriving as I watch you grow. Your intelligence, your generosity, your courage, and your great sensitivity never cease to move me."

The eldest son is also a musician like his parents.

In 2021, he released an EP under the name RC Angélil, titled "CasiNo.5." The track list includes the songs "Mamba Mentality," "MONEY, THRILLS, AND REST," "NO Ls," "GG4" and "LV."

"I’m so proud of my son. My love for him is so strong, and it touches me deeply that one of his passions is also one of mine," Dion wrote on social media at the time.

Dion and Angélil welcomed twins Nelson and Eddy on Oct. 23, 2010.

In October 2020, to mark the tenth birthday of her "beautiful boys," Dion shared three childhood photos of her twins on Instagram.

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

Both the twins and their elder brother all appear to be hockey fans. In November 2023, they posed for photos with their famous mom and players from the Montreal Canadiens in the locker room after a game against the Vegas Golden Knights, according to Dion's Instagram.

"My boys and I had such a fun time visiting with the Montreal Canadiens after their hockey game with Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas Monday night. They played so well, what a game!!" Dion captioned the photos with her sons. "Thank you for meeting us after the game, guys! That was memorable for all of us."
