Ten years later, she was at the height of her popularity, with gold records in both English
and French covering her walls. Songs like “My Heart Will Go On” (used in the hit movie
Titanic) made her a global success. But, Dion had not been able to have the one thing she
wanted most - a child. And then, her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Dion made the decision to take time off from her career. She focused on her family,
nursing her husband back to health, and undergoing fertility treatments so that she could
have a child. Her first child, a son, was born in 2001. She then successfully restarted her
career, producing more albums and a series of sold-out shows in Las Vegas.
Today, she still reigns as the biggest music star Canada has ever produced, and one of the
most popular singers in world history. As a Goodwill Ambassador for the United
Nations, and a multi-million dollar contributor to health and education charities, Celine
Dion helps others overcome their life challenges. In 2010, she gave birth to twin boys.
