Céline Dion lovingly commemorated the 10th anniversary of her late husband René Angélil’s death, sharing heartfelt reflections and cherished memories that underscored the depth of their lifelong partnership.
On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, Dion took to social media to mark a decade since Angélil’s passing — a moment that continues to shape her personal and artistic journey.
In her tribute, Dion reflected on the profound influence Angélil had on her life, both personally and professionally.
Dion’s Touching Tribute
“Mon amour, ten years,” she began, alongside an image of her late husband that was placed on a piano.
“Without you feels like just a day, and yet each day feels like a decade…Ten years without your caress, and yet every day i feel your touch…We miss you more that we can bear, but you taught us to be strong,” she added.
She signed the touching post with “Céline, RC, Nelson and Eddy.”
Dion and Angélil’s story began when she was just a teenager in Quebec and he became her manager.
Angélil recognized her extraordinary talent early on and guided her rise to international superstardom.
Their professional relationship evolved into romance, and they married in 1994. Together, they raised three sons — René-Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy — while navigating the demands of Dion’s global career.
Angélil Was Influential in Shaping Dion’s Career
Angélil’s influence on Dion’s life was transformative.
As her manager, he helped shape her sound and career trajectory, guiding her through major albums, record-breaking tours and world-famous hits such as “My Heart Will Go On,” “The Power of Love” and “Because You Loved Me.”
As her husband, he was a steadfast supporter, often seen at her side during performances, award shows and family milestones.
When Angélil died in 2016 after a long battle with cancer, Dion publicly shared her grief while also expressing profound thankfulness for the life they built together.
Dion has spoken in past interviews about how Angélil’s belief in her talent shaped her confidence and creativity — a legacy she continues to honor with every performance.
In marking the 10th anniversary of his death, Dion’s tribute resonated widely with fans around the world.
