With a month to go before her show, Céline Dion brought her boys home to Las Vegas.

The singer’s fraternal twins Nelson and Eddy, almost 4 months, along with son René-Charles, 10, and husband René Angélil arrived at Caesar’s Palace on Wednesday.

Dressed in blue and white caps, the twins – born in October – arrived in their parents’ arms. According to reports, plans call for the boys to be baptised on March 5.

Dion, who will hit Vegas on March 15, will mark her return to the stage a little later this month — with a preview performance at the Oscars.

Awww, the twins are so sweet.

One boy looks likes his mom + the other looks like his dad–can’t believe it’s been 4 months!

- patty on February 17th, 2011

Wow – time flies! She looks great!

- KJC on February 17th, 2011

CELIINNNNNEE!!!! OMG! RETURNING TO VEGAS AND I SWEAR I’LL BE THERE THIS TIME! SO excitttteedddddddddd!! And she and her family look great.

- SHERAE on February 17th, 2011

I read where these boys were once a part of a trio: triplets. Celine was reported saying that one of the brothers died in utero, giving his brothers more space to grow. I can’t believe she could have possibly been carting around triplets in this picture…

Nevertheless, glad her family is healthy and happy!

- Liz on February 17th, 2011

I would love to sent the boys the book “Darza the Little Dragon” by Amanda Bullard Kaneko. It is a wonderful story that they could enjoy for year to come.
Congratulations!!!

- Marlyce on February 17th, 2011

- bernadette on February 17th, 2011

Is her jacket torn at the arm pit??

- Anonymous on February 17th, 2011

she has always been a classy lady! congratulations to the whole family!

- amy on February 17th, 2011

Have we grown so selfish that all we think about are our own selfish desires? Doesn’t anyone here think it is bizarre that an almost SEVENTY year-old man is fathering children he will almost certainly never see grow up? The list is endless, of old,narcissistic men having children who will be fatherless before they graduate high school. Paul McCartney,Tony Randall(father at 79 and now deceased) Rod Stewart, Woody(the molester) Allen, Jack Nicholson, Mick Jagger, Donald Trump. How STUPID are these young women who don’t have the sense God gave a billy goat, to practice birth control!

- Karen on February 17th, 2011

I didn’t realize that she knew the sex of the third baby.

- Terri on February 17th, 2011

I’m just thankful they finally cut Rene-Charles’s hair! He was really looking like a girl there for a while. The twins are just TOO cute!

- Tara on February 17th, 2011

Rene and Celine are amazing parents – their 3 boys look so wonderful!

- Mari Mari Quite Contrary on February 17th, 2011

Aww! They are adorable!

- Brooklyn on February 17th, 2011

They have the coolest looking babies. A world of wonderment and disbelief in the expressions on their faces and their eyes mimic their thoughts. ‘What the hey is going on with these people?’ I bet Celine and Rene are good parents, they both look tired; Rene moreso than Celine but it is nice they are sharing their babies through pictures with the rest of us. Continued blessings.

- JR Jake on February 17th, 2011

Karen: I understand your point of view but at the same time, what’s worst? A 70 years old father that takes really good care of his children until he dies and they have great memory of it or a 30-40 years old father that is absent or that refuses to take his responsibilities, like we see more and more now? Age is not what matters here.

- Stephanie on February 17th, 2011

@ Karen: Hon, people die all the time and not always from age or age-related illness. Any parent can die – from cancer, from a car accident, from a bar fight, from a home invasion, from an infectious disease they “should have been” able to fight off – from any reason whatsoever. Furthermore, your comment ignores the fact that there are TWO parents involved, Mommy and Daddy. If any one of those immensely wealthy men died, the mothers of their children would very likely successfully carry on.

Having children is selfish to begin with. I don’t think it becomes any MORE selfish to want and have children past a certain age.

- Jen DC on February 17th, 2011

I once had an obstetrician who was 73 years old when having his last child with wife #4 and I was going to have my daughter and I asked him how he could have another child when it is time to relax and retire. I no sooner said that and he died a year later. Céline Dion’s husband has been married twice before and she was his “Lolita” and that is what his ex-wives call her which is so very true. I do not like her nor her husband. Her husband looks more like her father than anything – gee she must like an old man.

- jules10003 on February 17th, 2011

I had to LOL when I saw the one babies face (the one Celine is holding). It’s like, who the ef are all you people?
The family looks great, happy and healthy.

- Beth on February 17th, 2011

Karen, you need to chill girl! Why does it really matter if these men want children at their age to you???? Certainly not because most won’t be around later on in the child’s life! Something you need to get help on!!

- Lyne on February 17th, 2011

@Karen, I don’t understand you point at all. What’s the difference between a 30 year old man fathering children, and not living to see his children grow up? I’m sure that none of us will ever be called upon to provide child support for those kids, if he Celine’s husband dies before they finish high school.

- Mom Of Twins on February 17th, 2011

Adorable, adorable, adorable!!! They look plump and healthy! Congrats to them again.

- Rachel on February 17th, 2011

The twins are adorable!

And yay for Celine! I’d love to see her in concert someday.

- klutzy_girl on February 17th, 2011

Good for her! Wish I could afford to go to Vegas and catch her show. What I can’t believe is how skinny the woman is, four months after giving birth to TWIN boys! Unbelievable!

- Tami on February 17th, 2011

God is good, Congratulations Celine and Rene’ may you continue to Blessed..

- jaczy on February 17th, 2011

It might not be popular, but I agree with Karen. Yes you could pass away at random, but it is a bit much to start your child’s life with a likelihood you will not see them grow up. Hopefully he will live a long life with his family.

- Kat on February 17th, 2011

Yuck. 70 year old dad to newborns. He’ll be dead before they are out of diapers.

- Sandy on February 17th, 2011

@Karen. My father was 58 when I was born and passed away last year when I was 29. He was a loving, caring, selfless and involved father. My uncle passed away from a heart attack at 32 leaving my cousins “fatherless” at 6 and 8.
Life has no guarantees, it’s what we do with the time we are given.

- Jennifer on February 17th, 2011

“Tomorrow is promised to no one”

Maybe it is selfish but, choosing to raise a family in a lot of ways is always a selfish choice. It something someone does for themselves. I know many people who grew up with a man in the house but, still grew up without a father! Fatherhood is about being present and active in your kids life until you’re no longer on this earth!

- Indira on February 17th, 2011

Karen, I know, who are these women who don’t use birth control?! Cause it’s only their responsibility! Not the man’s! Perhaps the women get the baby they want, get money to take care of it, and don’t have to deal with a old man for very long! : )

- ecl on February 17th, 2011

Patty: i noticed that too, anybody know if it was ripped or if its part of the design? i’m intrigued! lol.

Also: gorgeous family, well done to them all, they look really happy. x

- Lou x on February 17th, 2011

Linda, unless you are a close friend of Celine’s or her doctor, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

- Cecelia on February 17th, 2011

@Karen
We all have our lives to live and unless yours is as pure as the driven snow. How about you just concentrate on your own backyard. If a 90 yr old man wants to have a child and does, who cares???? All these men that you have named are old enough to know what they are doing. The women are also of the brain to know what they want so instead of focusing on the negative why not just congratulate them and move or just be quiet!!!

Celine has struggled for years to be a mom, give the woman a break and leave her husband alone. At least he is taking care of his kids and not some dead beat dad!!!

- Dee on February 17th, 2011

My dad died at 37. My sisters and I were 7, 10, and 11. No matter how old you are when they die, how old your parents were when you were born and when they die, if you have an ounce of intelligence you are grateful for EVERY SINGLE DAY you get. So please, for the love of all that is good and holy in this forsaken universe, SHUT UP. This horse is BEYOND dead.

- Mallory on February 17th, 2011

I agree that it doesnt matter what age you have kids you are not promise tomorrow..my daughter daddy was killed at work at 31 and left behind a 3 year old

- Anonymous on February 17th, 2011

Cute little babies.

- B.J. on February 17th, 2011

For all complaining about his age: his children love him regardless. That is all that matters.

- pamela on February 17th, 2011

What a beautiful picture! Celine looks great and the babies look so well-fed. I know she was breast-feeding, so good for her!

As to the comments about Rene being “too old” to have babies – that is none of anyone’s business!

@Indira is correct when she said: “Tomorrow is promised to no one.”

I have a friend who got married at 25 to another 25 year old. They had a baby, and a year later, her husband died of brain cancer, soon after being diagnosed. He was only 27. No one could have predicted that.

I say let happiness and joy (and babies) happen to you at whatever age you are. Enjoy today with your family, and count your blessings because anything can happen tomorrow.

I wish the Dion/Angelil family much happiness.

- Allison J on February 17th, 2011

Those babies are so adorable. The word that came to mind was “cherubic.” Regarding the age debate, Celine and her husband had struggled with health and fertility issues for many years. They didn’t set out saying “let’s have twins when their father is 70!” Who really knows why they made the decisions they made? and who are we to judge?

- Julia A on February 17th, 2011

Is it just me or do those kids look huge for twins born prematurely less than 4 months ago??

- Ali on February 17th, 2011

@Karen- Really, I can’t believe your rant- YOU ARE A BITCH! Celine and Rene are in love and happily married. You practice birth control because god help any children you may have you judgemental, bitter witch.

- stacey on February 17th, 2011

Bunch of immature idiots here harping on Rene’s age. So what if he’s 70 with newborn twins? As if that affects your life in some way!. Grow up, please.

“Yuck. 70 year old dad to newborns. He’ll be dead before they are out of diapers.”

Class act, Sandy. Class act indeed.

- Niko on February 17th, 2011

Exceptions aside, the general rule of life is that the older you are, the sooner you’ll die. Do you geniuses fail to grasp that point?

Karen is, of course, completely right.

- Mira on February 17th, 2011

That is a nice picture. The twins are cute! Celine is luckily that the babies grandpa is helping out, twins must be a lot of work.

- Holiday on February 17th, 2011

lol @Holiday, I was just about to type the same thing.

- Kimi2321 on February 17th, 2011

really mira, how can an opinion be completely right? its right to the person saying it, but not necessarily right for everyone. while i think no one should be attacking karen or anyone for their opinion, i don’t think anyone can say they are completely right. one of my great grandparents have lived till they were 100, if Rene does that means he will be around when the twins are in their 30s or 40s. i have had an aunt pass away at the age of 40, leaving behind her son whose father isn’t involved in his life and he had my grandparents as parents to him(who were in their 60s as well). while it is true that statistically people die at an older age, it doesn’t necessarily mean that older age is 60 to 80 or younger which seams to be the indication people are making when they say rene won’t be around when the twins are out of diapers. life is unpredictable and someone can lose their life suddenly in their twenties or can survive until they are 100.

- annon1324 on February 17th, 2011

Haha holiday

You’re so clever….not.

stacey- I wouldn’t say it but, I agree!

- Indira on February 17th, 2011

Yes but statistically speaking Rene has 2-4 year os life left since the average life expectancy for a man is around 73. Of course a dad in his 20s can die but it is WAY more likely for a man in his 70s to. My grandpa died at 55, the other at 68. My grandma at 64 and I have one grandma alive who is 74. So out of 4 older people in my family I had 1 make it to 70.

- Holiday on February 18th, 2011

What is the problem with men having children at an older age!! IT IS THE MOTHER THAT NEEDS TO BE AROUND LONG SHE DOES MOST OF THE WORK!!!!!!!

- molly on February 18th, 2011

I really hope Rene lives to 100 and all of you fools eat crow. This complaint is boring, tired and waaaay overdone. We get it, old people die sooner than young people. Woop de doo. Doesn’t mean they can’t have kids…if two people can concieve naturally then obviously biologically speaking its ok for them to have babies…

- Tink on February 18th, 2011

the family are just adorable, the twins are so cute and being a father is not about age, stop ranting morons.I Love CD.

- diceLs on February 18th, 2011

Wow, Celine looks fabulous for four months post-pregnancy! And those little bundles of joy are too cute. Good to see everyone looks healthy and happy. I didn’t know Celine was going back to work in Vegas, but she did that with Rene-Charles so I’m sure she can do it with another two kids although I suspect she’ll have nanny help this time.

- eternalcanadian on February 18th, 2011

Linda- Some women’s bodies DO bounce back pretty quickly after birth. Anyway, the fact is, unless we are Celine, her doctor, or someone else close to her, we will never know for sure if she had a tummy tuck and/or lipo after the boys were born unless she says so herself.

On another note, it confuses me a bit when celebs DO have tummy tucks. They get them because they want to look good, of course…..but do they completely forget that after the surgery they will have a huge tummy tuck scar to contend with?

Terri- She didn’t from what I read. All she said was that she had concieved triplets initally, but one died in utero, and she felt it had died to give it’s brothers more space to grow. She never said anything about the gender.

Karen- Maybe the wives/girlfriends of the older men you mentioned didn’t practice birth control because *gasp* they WANTED babies?! And perhaps some of them DID practice birth control, but it failed. The only form of birth control that is 100 percent effective is abstience.

As for the issue of Rene’s age, I agree with the commentors who have pointed out that having kids when you’re younger doesn’t guarantee you’ll live to see them grow up, get married, and have kids of their own, nor does have kids when you’re older automatically mean you won’t.

For example, one of my great-grandfathers died of a heart attack when he was in his early 50s….leaving behind three college-aged daughters (so techinically yes, they were adults….but they were very young adults!).

By contrast, all but one of my great-grandmothers lived at least well into their 80s (with one living into her 90s!)….and for one of them, that meant getting to know most of her great-grandchildren (myself included!). And the other two, while they didn’t live long enough to meet any of their great-grandchildren, DID live long enough to see several of their grandchildren get married! So really, you just never know. You can die before getting the chance to see your children marry or meet your grandchildren, as my great-grandfather did, or live long enough to not only meet your grandchildren, but see THEM get married and meet your great-grandchildren, as my one great-grandmother did.

Or you may fall somewhere in between. Anyway, the boys are adorable!

- CelebBabyLover on February 18th, 2011

He looks great for being 70! Wow. My friend’s dad was 65 was she was born. She just turned 30…..dad is 95 and still alive. My cousin was born and my uncle died 6 months later. One never knows……. So, as long as you don’t have to take care of the children, not sure why some of you get all worked up over it. And don’t say you are not….because you are getting worked up.

- Jillian on February 18th, 2011

Cekine looks amazing, considering she has just recovered from a multiple pregnancy! I guess she just has that kind of body!

- Anonymous on February 18th, 2011

Great pic! The twins are so cute and Celine is looking amazing! She had just taped a show in Chicago for Oprah (on TV this Monday 21st). Moving to Vegas, breastfeeding, flying and a big welcome in Vegas. She’s a busy woman! And Linda- what a jealous b*tch you are. It also depends on her body type. Celine has always had an amazing slim body. She swims a lot and I’m sure she has a personal trainer. She never had a boob job!! Come on, she’s got small breasts but now her boobs look huge because she’s breastfeeding. Now that’s a natural boob job!!! She could have had breast implants long ago but she never did – because she’s not a superficial individual like you sound. Congrats Celine!

Good lord,americas women are cranky tonight.take a pill&shut the hell up.

- lissa on February 18th, 2011

Those children have a father regardless of how old he is. If he does pass away while they are very young they will not be the only ones in the world. At least Celine has the financial means to not have to worry about how she will feed, clothe and educate them.

What if Celine was single and had decided to have children by herself via sperm donation? Everyone would probably be saying how wonderful that is and it really would be.

Children born to people who want them, love them, can take care of them and can afford them are a true blessing. I would rather Celine have 100 babies with Rene rather than all the drug addicts who have them and all the people who can’t afford to provide a home and food that have them.

Celine’s children are blessed regardless of how old Rene lives to be.

- Top on February 18th, 2011

Tummy tucks do not give you a “huge tummy tuck scar” if you have a good doctor, as most of these celebrities have! Just fyi…

- Jillian on February 18th, 2011

For all you people who say “He could live to hundred!” Sorry that is not likely to happen. The odds of a man living to one hundred is a little less then 1%. So realistically do you honestly think that will happen?? However the odds of living to 65 is 85%. It is just strange to have a child at the age of 70, and also I think its very sad. Someone said if they conceived naturally its a good age for them to have a child. They had IVF! That is NOT natural.

- Holiday on February 18th, 2011

The babies are beautiful. I know they are named for someone, but I can’t used to those names after their older brother was named René-Charles. I know kids’ names don’t have to “match,” but Nelson and Eddy remind me of American singer and movie star, Nelson Eddy (same spelling) who appeared in 19 musical films during the 1930s and 1940s, as well as in opera and on the concert stage, radio, television, and in nightclubs. I can’t help that he comes to mind the second I hear or read their names. I know women marry older men all the time, but it is just a little disconcerting to know that René managed Céline while she was just a child, waiting until she was of age to marry her. She has spoken so many times how “grateful” she is to him and how much she “owes” him for all he’s done for her. I think that whole scenario just slides by because they are in the entertainment industry where anything goes. It’s always left me with an uncomfortable feeling.

- NoLolita on February 18th, 2011

Celine is the youngest of 14 by 6 years.
She skipped school often and actually quit it very young because she did not feel accepted and kids made her feel ugly.
She felt immensely loved by her very strong mom and her brothers and sisters.
Therefore, she was raised with much older loving people around her.
She did not have very much contact with children her own age, as she was growing up.
I believe that is why she is so confortable with an older man, who by the way has stuck by her for many years: not because of business but because he truly believes she is a strong determined loving woman who will put her family before anything else.
By the way, her nannies, are her sisters and her mom.
Also, she has always been very thin, takes from her father.
My feeling is… she brings much joy to anyone who really listens to her music and really knows her personal story.
Thank-you Celine for making this world a better place with your music and your strong values.

- gabs on February 18th, 2011

Holiday, don’t waste time and effort on explaining stats to people who obviously don’t have the faintest grasp of it. They’ll read your explanation and then go– “but my cousin four times removed lived to be 115 and my neighbor got hit by a car at 22″– completely oblivious to the simple point that these are exceptions.

I always remind myself not to comment on this issue, but more often than not, I can’t resist. I teach statistics, so this is my pet peeve topic.

- Mira on February 18th, 2011

“yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift that is why they call it present” it doesn’t matter at what age any of us choose to have children there is no guarantee any of us will have a tomorrow. Take my parents for example they had 10 kids my dad was 24 and my mom 18 when they had me the oldest, and now, war has taken all of the from me, the only one left out of the whole family is me, just me. No one is guaranteed a tomorrow, not a 20 year old father not a 75 year old father. So look at them as a whole are both parents happy, are the children taken care of, will they be taken care of if both parents pass in accident, if the answer is yes to all the questions then leave them be, and let them enjoy their life and love it, and live it how ever they wish. No one is being harmed, kids have everything they need food, water, cloths, roof over their heads, but they have even more, people who love them and will do anything for them. Those three boys have more in life then 75% of other worlds children. So who cares how old their parents are, they are luck enough to have parents that love then and will do anything for them, leave it at that and be happy for them.

- B.R on February 18th, 2011

B.R- where are you from if you don’t mind me asking?

- Indira on February 18th, 2011

Holiday- Of course it’s not very likely he’ll live to 100. However, it’s also wrong to just automatically assume that he definitely won’t. Odds are he won’t….but the point is there is a chance that he could. We don’t know that he’ll be dead before the boys grow up!

- CelebBabyLover on February 19th, 2011

B.R, Curious had asked in another post about your grammar and spelling or something and you said English isn’t your first language. Just out of curiosity, do you have someone else write some of your posts for you? The post on this page has perfect spelling and punctuation. Compared to the other one which has common spelling errors and punctuation snd grammar errors. No problem if you do. I am just curious.

- Jillian on February 19th, 2011

I would like to ask, Are women able to have children at 70 years of age? Cos I feel we would not be having this argument if that were possible. So next time we want to get into that kind of argument, lets place the blame right – GOD!!!!!

- Lagbaja on February 19th, 2011

Good grief, like it’s anyones business when, how, why, and at what age these people decide to have children. Get over yourselves and worry about your own lives.

- amelie on February 21st, 2011

Aaron, while I don’t care when people have children…..their choice…..these are celebs who do things publically. And this is a blog with the purpose to get people with different opinions to discuss. Soooooooo, I don’t think people are worried…..just having a discussion. Relax.

- Jillian on February 22nd, 2011

@the people noticing what appears to be a ripped coat on Celine Dion. If she’s breastfeeding, it may be part of the design to have easy access?? I can’t imagine her wearing a coat that’s ripped. I would tend to think that she would have noticed sooner and not raised her arm like that.
