With her twin sons less than four months old, Celine Dion could be expected to be relaxing at home enjoying her maternity leave. But the mother-of-three got back to work today as she arrived in Las Vegas to begin rehearsals for her high-profile three-year residency at Caesars Palace.
Joining her was her family, with the singer and husband and manager Rene Angelil showing off bouncing babies Eddy and Nelson as they received a gala welcome. The boys, wearing matching blue baby grows and white hats, were cradled in their parents arms as they posed on the steps of the casino. Their big brother, nine-year-old Rene Charles, was also with his family.
French-Canadian star Celine will now begin rehearsals for her new show, set to debut on March 15 at The Colosseum. But despite her busy work schedule, Celine is not planning on taking a back seat in raising her sons. 'I am changing diapers and breastfeeding and that's something where no one can take my place,' she told French GALA magazine last month. 'It's tiring but an intense joy,' she said. 'I take things day by day. That's the secret to me. In any case, breastfeeding is more difficult if you are stressed. I didn't have these children to not take care of them, to give myself to them 200 - 300 per cent.'
Celine and her husband fought for years to have a family. The singer underwent IVF to conceive her first son, then a further six failed attempts before finally falling pregnant with triplets. But one baby did not survive, dying early in pregnancy.
