Singer Celine Dion, 42, is pregnant with IVF twins after 6 attempts! Celine and her husband Rene Angelil, 68, already have a 9 year old daughter called Rene-Carles. Her spokesman Kim Jakwerth confirmed the news to US media and said that Celine had turned to acupuncture before her sixth attempt at IVF! Celine is around 14 weeks pregnant and the couple are keen to find out the babies' genders next month.
'We're ecstatic ..... She was hoping for one baby and the news that we are having two is a double blessing.', her husband Rene said.
Celine reportedly had a miscarriage last November. The singer was always planning to try and get pregnant after finishing her run of shows in Las Vegas last year. Rene-Charles was conceived with the help of IVF after Celine and Rene spent six years trying to conceive. When she was asked last year about her plans for a second baby, she confirmed that the couple had 'a frozen embryo' waiting.
Only a matter of months ago, Celine told Oprah Winfrey that she and Rene had started on their fifth pregnancy attempt, and that they were determined not to give up. Talking of her miscarriage, Celine told Oprah: 'They said that I was pregnant, and a couple of days after, we were not pregnant again....... We didn’t want to feel like we were playing yo-yo - "I’m pregnant. I’m not pregnant. I’m pregnant. I’m not pregnant."...... But we did have a miscarriage.'
Celine and her family are planning on settling in their £13million Florida oceanfront dream home which is nearly finished!
