Céline Dion marked the tenth anniversary of her husband and manager René Angélil’s passing on January 14 with a heartfelt message on social media. The singer’s tribute comes as she continues to navigate a challenging period following her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
“Ten years without you feel like just a day, and yet every day feels like a decade,” Dion wrote in a post accompanied by a photo of Angélil seated at a piano.
“My love, ten years without you feel like only a day, and yet every day feels like a decade,” she shared.
“Ten years without your touch, and yet every day I feel your presence… You are missed beyond words, but you taught us strength. We love you a little more each day and year,” she continued, signing the message with her own name and those of her three sons, René-Charles, Nelson, and Eddy.
Dion previously honored her late husband on December 18, sharing a throwback photo from their wedding day in 1994 at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal. The image was posted alongside a poignant message celebrating their anniversary.
“And it’s still ‘yes’ for me… Happy anniversary, my love…” she wrote on Instagram.
The couple shared three children: René-Charles, born in 2001, and twins Eddy and Nelson, who arrived in October 2010. Angélil died on January 14, 2016, after a long battle with cancer, just days before his 76th birthday.
Dion has frequently spoken about the profound impact Angélil had on her life and career, often crediting him with discovering and nurturing her talent. The singer recently launched a TikTok account, signaling a new chapter in her public persona as she continues to connect with fans.
