Singer Celine Dion recently announced that she is expecting twins after six rounds of in vitro fertilization.

Dion tells Le Journal de Montreal that her journey to get pregnant was definitely not easy. She says, “I feel like I’ve been pregnant more than a year. I never gave up. But I can tell you that it was physically and emotionally exhausting.”

Celine’s husband Rene adds, “Everyone knows that Celine has guts and is determined. These treatments were truly hard on my wife’s body. It wasn’t simple at all.”

After finally getting pregnant with twins, Dion says that she couldn’t believe that it had happened. She notes, “My doctors had to constantly reassure me. I [wanted] to see the babies. Each week I had sonograms. I heard their heart beats.”

Even though it’s hard for Celine to relax, she says, “It’s stressful but I’m relaxing. I look at my little belly. I do almost nothing. If you tell me I have to stay in bed, I will stay in bed until November, when the babies are born. To bring them into the world, there’s nothing more important than that. It’s incredible. We will have a beautiful family nest full of love.”

Celine and Rene also have a 9 year old son named Rene Charles.
