Renowned Grammy Award winner Celine Dion made a heartwarming public appearance this week, enjoying a special family outing at an NHL hockey game. The pop icon took to her Instagram account to share the delightful moments spent with her three sons: René-Charles, 22, and twin boys Nelson and Eddy, 13, during a game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas.
In a series of Instagram photos, the first glimpse showcases the Dion family posing in the Montreal Canadiens’ locker room, immersing themselves in the hockey world. Another snapshot captures the family alongside Canadiens players Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Alex Newhook, and Arber Xhekaj, with a heartening appearance by Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis.
Celine Dion expressed her enthusiasm in the caption, saying, “My boys and I had such a fun time visiting with the Montreal Canadiens after their hockey game with Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas Monday night. They played so well, what a game!!” She went on to extend her gratitude to the players, saying, “Thank you for meeting us after the game, guys! That was memorable for all of us. Have a great season! – Celine xx….”
The Golden Knights secured a 3-2 shootout victory against the Canadiens in the Monday night game. Celine Dion shares her three sons with her late husband, René Angélil, who passed away in January 2016. This public appearance holds a poignant significance as it marks a rare outing for the singer since she disclosed her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder, in December 2022. Dion had also canceled her 2023 tour dates to prioritize her health, stating, “For me to reach you again, I have no choice but to concentrate on my health at this moment, and I have hope that I’m on the road to recovery.”
Celine Dion’s unwavering spirit and her dedication to spending quality time with her family amidst her health challenges continue to inspire fans worldwide.
