Celine Dion's Three Sons Are All Grown Up in Rare Photo

Celine Dion paid tribute to her late husband, René Angélil, on the ninth anniversary of his death—and she gave fans a rare glimpse of her sons in the process.

The "My Heart Will Go On" singer shared a sweet photo of herself with her 23-year-old son René-Charles and 14-year-old twins, Eddy and Nelson, on Instagram this week, writing an emotional message to honor Angélil years after his death.

In the sweet pic, Dion sat on a couch outside surrounded by her boys, with the whole family dressed in cream-colored clothing.

"René, we can’t believe you’ve been gone nine years already," she wrote in her caption. "Not a day goes by that we don’t feel your presence, RC, Eddy, Nelson and I. You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…. We love you.—Celine xx…"

Dion's followers were quick to show their support in the comments.

"He is watching over you all & so proud of your courage, strength & love.🙏🥰," one fan declared.

"Hard to believe 9 years already, but what a legacy he has left behind and how proud he would be of you and the boys 🤍," agreed a second.

"Beautiful picture…. René would be proud. Sending so much love. 💜," someone else shared.

Angélil died in 2016 at 73 following a battle with cancer.

Eddy and Nelson were 5 when their father died. Dion used Disney’s Up to help break the sad news to her young sons, according to People. Ahead of his funeral, she threw the boys a party, using a balloon analogy to help explain Angélil's death—explaining that he'd "gone up" and floated away.

“I did not want to relate the passing to doctors and have them be afraid. It’s the thing I’m most proud of,” she told the outlet.
