It’s been five years since the singer Céline Dion lost her beloved husband René Angélil to cancer when he was 73 years-old. In a new interview this week, Dion is opening up to reveal if she ever sees herself finding love again.

“Losing my husband, for my kids to lose their father, it was quite something,” Dion, 53, said while appearing on the Today show.

Though it’s been years since her husband died, Dion still feels his presence with her.

“I feel like René has given me so much through the years — and still today,” she said of Angélil, who discovered her when she was a teenager and helped launch her career as her manager. “I see my kids. I look at them. We live with him. We still live with him. He’s part of our lives every day, so I have to say that I feel very, very strong.”

When asked if she will ever find love again, Dion said, “I don’t know. I have no idea.”

As for how she feels right now, Dion said that “love is so big right now in my life: with my kids, with life itself. I’m not thinking about a relationship and falling in love again. I don’t. Do I have to say that it will never happen anymore? I don’t know. I don’t know.”

In this same interview, Dion talked about spending time with sons René-Charles, almost 20, and 10-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson during the pandemic.

“It was the old-fashioned family fun, simple pleasures of life, playing outside a lot, being with them, cuddling at night, cooking,” she explained. “Honestly, making the best out of this.”

These days, Dion is just excited to get back to work, as she plans to open The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas with a 10-show run beginning Nov. 5. Las Vegas holds a special place in her heart, as she had a 16-year residency at Caesars Palace before she put it on hold to care for her husband as his health failed. Just one month after his death, she made a triumphant return there.

“Vegas had given us, my family and I, an opportunity for me to be a mom, for them to be kids, for me to perform for my fans and to practice my passion and every night come home,” she said. “That is rare, so I really feel that Vegas has given me motherhood and the best as an artist, the best of both worlds.”

Dion concluded by saying that the new show will “be about an energy, about starting again, about living again, about feeling that something will come out of this, hopefully.”
