Celine Dion is pregnant with twins. A double delight for Dion, 42, and her husband, Rene Angelil, 68, after many failed in-vitro fertilization procedures. Dion went through six procedures which she states was both physically and emotionally exhausting. Dion gave birth to her and Angelil’s son, Rene-Charles, in 2001 through in-vitro fertilization.

Doctors are performing weekly sonograms to ease Dion’s mind that everything with the twins is fine. According to Dion the nausea, morning sickness, hot flashes and 10 lbs. she has gained has reassured her that all is well.

The gender of the twins should be known sometime this month. A nanny will not be used to take care of the twins or her 9 year old son, instead, she will have support from her sister and brother-in-law.

Dion and her husband say they will not be blinded by the newborn twins so that son, Rene-Charles, will not be jealous. Planning for the future, Dion and Angelil have “frozen embyro”. Usually on a non-stop schedule of shows and touring, Dion is slowing down and taking time off to concentrate on taking care of herself and her pregnancy. Dion has sold over 200 million albums worldwide and is currently working on a new album.
