What?! She is actually three months younger than her stepson Patrick Angélil. Patrick’s father is Celine’s late husband, René Angélil. This does make sense because René was significantly older than Celine, but their marriage still worked!

4. Her music career started when she was only 12 years old

When she was 12, she wrote and composed a song with her mother and one of her brothers. One of her other brothers sent in the recording to none other than music manager René Angélil! He loved it and decided to make Celine a star.

Good thing he took a chance on her because her popularity quickly spread. René actually mortgaged his home to have enough money to create her first record! No wonder they ended up falling in love later in life.
