Celine Dion’s is a proud mom of newborn twin sons, and she and husband Rene Angelil are just smitten with the new additions to their family. The singer, who gave birth to Eddy and Nelson on October 23rd, says the little guys are already developing very different personalities.
Celine said: “They’re so cute it’s incredible. When we look at them we can’t believe it. And to have them here at home – it’s all we could wish for.”
Rene added: “One is more gutsy than the other. Nelson seems to have a little stronger personality right now, he’s the tougher of the two. Nelson weighed more at birth but the doctor told us in a week or two, they’re going to be the same.”
However, the couple, who also have a nine-year-old son Rene-Charles, said the twins are identical in expressing their needs. Celine told Britain’s Hello magazine: “When one cries the other cries, or they both don’t cry.”
Despite Rene thinking the babies look “very alike”, his eldest son disagrees. Rene said: “Rene-Charles came to the hospital right after his baseball game and he was thrilled. He said, ‘One looks like Dad and the other looks like Mum.’
Céline Dion is a mom again – times two!
The singer, 42, gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, at 11:11 am and 11:12 am, her rep told People magazine.
"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.
The twins are healthy, says Dion's rep, but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature.
"Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," the rep adds. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here."
It's a boy and a girl!
Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka are officially fathers. The actors welcomed twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace on October 12th, the How I Met Your Mother star announced on Twitter Friday.
"All of us are happy, healthy, tired, and a little pukey," he wrote.
Harris, 37, announced that he and Burtka, 35, were becoming parents in August. "We're super excited/nervous/thrilled. Hoping the press can respect our privacy," he wrote on Twitter at the time.
According to reports, the babies were born with the help of a surrogate.
At the Emmy Awards that month, Harris said he was getting excited about his new role – and doing research. "I'm trying to read as much as I can, and prep as much as I can," he said at the time. "But there's only so much you can do because each baby is super individual and totally their own person."
