Celine Dion has given birth! Within days of checking herself into hospital to prevent the early delivery of her babies, the 42-year-old singer gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday. The twins are healthy but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature, Dion’s rep said.
According to People,
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.
Congratulations to Celine Dion and Rene Angelil! Bucketful of warm and healthy wishes for the new babies! This has to be the best weekend in recent times with back to back good news of such magnitude. The cheerful news of the birth of Celine’s twins takes the baton from the wonderful news of Katy Perry’s wedding and gives us a strong reason to indulge in an extended celebration. Cheers!
