Congratulations are in order for Canadian chanteuse Céline Dion and her husband René Angélil because yesterday morning the couple became the proud parents of twin boys born at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, FL. As you may recall, we learned back in July that Céline was pregnant with twin boys and in September we got to see one of the only photos of Céline showing off her baby bump during this pregnancy on the cover of 7 Jours magazine. Because Céline and René had difficulty having children in recent years, she stayed out of the spotlight in order to focus on her health and the health of her babies … and it worked! Céline is now the new mother of twin baby boys who were born just one minute apart:
Céline Dion is a mom again – times two! The singer, 42, gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., at 11:11 a.m. and 11:12 a.m., her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Celine, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled,” says her rep. One of the babies weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., with the other at 5 lbs., 10 oz. Dion’s doctor, Ronald Ackerman, said at a press conference outside the hospital Friday evening that the delivery, done via C-section, went as expected. He also revealed that the twins were both born with a good amount of hair. The twins are healthy, says Dion’s rep, but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature. “Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up,” the rep adds. “René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here.”
It’s always very happy news when any baby is born but this is especially happy because of the fertility problems that Céline and René had experienced in recent years. It was plainly clear that the couple really wanted to have another child … and now they have two new children! Let’s send all of our love and congrats their way … I can’t wait to see what the new teeny weeny babies look like :)

Is it me or is it required that all celebrities have twins? Must be a lot of fertility treatments going on!
@Daniel — yes, it sounds like all these twins are coming from the wonder of science rather than the miracle of nature.
RE: “He also revealed that the twins were both born with a good amount of hair.”
Of COURSE they were born with lotsa hair. Ain’t no way SeaLion Dion could ever have a little boy who doesn’t look like a prosti-tot: http://www.imusicdaily.com/mus.....2nd-child/

Those are good sizes for premmies… no wonder they they took them early! Congrats to them.
I can’t wait to hear their names.
Sometimes the miracle of nature doesn’t allow for a family to have a baby. I find nothing wrong with it as long as they are screening families before helping them bring a child into the world. We definitely don’t want another Octomom out there.
@ Monica–I wasn’t taking a dig at Celine. As one half of a gay couple, I can say with certainty that it takes A LOT to have a family when it’s not so easy to do (comparing ot the folks who procreate on a whim or without a thought)….after several years of red tape and obstacles, we have two wonderful boys of our own…
