After learning English, she signed on to Epic Records in the United States.

During the 1990s she achieved worldwide recognition after releasing several best-selling English albums such as Falling into You (1996) and Let’s Talk About Love (1997), both of which were both certified diamond in the US. She also scored a series of international number-one hits, including “The Power of Love”, “Think Twice”, “Because You Loved Me”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now”, “My Heart Will Go On”, and “I’m Your Angel”.

Her brother Michel Dondalinger Dion, sent him a demonstration recording of “Ce n’était qu’un rêve” (“It Was Only a Dream/Nothing But A Dream”), a song she, her mother, and her brother Jacques Dion had jointly written and composed.
Dion and Angélil started a relationship in 1987 and became engaged in 1991. They married on December 17, 1994, at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec. On 5 January 2000, they renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas. In May 2000, Dion had two operations at a fertility clinic in New York to improve her chances of conceiving, after deciding to use in-vitro fertilization because of years of failed attempts to conceive.
Their first son, René-Charles Angélil, was born on 25 January 2001. In May 2010, her husband announced that she was 14 weeks pregnant with twins after the sixth treatment of in-vitro fertilization. On Saturday, 23 October 2010, at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, Dion gave birth to healthy fraternal twins. The twins were named Eddy, after Dion’s favourite French songwriter, Eddy Marnay, who had also produced Dion’s first five albums, and Nelson, after former South African President Nelson Mandela.

Celine Dion Career
At age 12 she came to the attention of impresario René Angélil, and he launched her career with the album La Voix du Bon Dieu (1981; “The Voice of God”). Dion subsequently won an award at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo in 1982, and in 1983 she received the first of many Félix awards (for musicians from Quebec). Also in the same year, she became the first Canadian recipient of a gold record in France. She was invited to represent Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1988 where she won with her performance of “Ne partez pas sans moi” (“Do Not Leave Without Me”). By the end of the 1980s, she had recorded eight studio albums in French. As she transitioned into adulthood, she shed her image as a winsome naïf in favour of a more worldly look and sound.
In 1990 Dion released her first English album, Unison, and the romantic ballad “Where Does My Heart Beat Now” which became her first top-10 single in the United States. She attracted further international attention for her Grammy Award-winning duet with Peabo Bryson on “Beauty and the Beast” (1991), from the Disney animated feature of the same name. Before long, her evident vocal talent and emotionally driven songs had made her a worldwide phenomenon, even as some critics dismissed her music as schmaltzy and overly polished. With The Colour of My Love (1993), she scored another hit single (the soaring “The Power of Love”), and Falling into You (1996) earned two Grammys, including album of the year.
Perhaps her biggest renown, however, came from her recording of “My Heart Will Go On,” the theme of the blockbuster motion picture Titanic (1997). The song won an Academy Award, topped charts in several countries, and helped propel sales of her album Let’s Talk About Love (1997)—which also featured duets with Barbra Streisand and Luciano Pavarotti—into the tens of millions. Throughout the 1990s she went on recording in French, with D’eux (1995; also released as The French Album) becoming the best-selling Francophone album of all time.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Dion took a break from her career to focus on her family. She returned with the albums A New Day Has Come (2002) and One Heart (2003), which flirted with dance pop in addition to her usual adult contemporary fare. While the releases were commercially successful by most standards, their sales did not reach her previous heights. In 2003 she began performing a live show in Las Vegas, which ran for more than four years, and she launched a second residency there in 2011.
Later, she had recordings like the Miracle (2004) and Taking Chances (2007) and the French-language 1 fille & 4 types (2003; “1 Girl & 4 Guys”) and D’elles (2007; “About Them”). Despite the fact that she was no longer the dominant cultural force that she had been a decade earlier, it was reported in 2007 that worldwide sales of her albums had surpassed 200 million. That total increased after the release of Sans attendre (2012; “Without Waiting”), which included several duets, including one with French rock legend Johnny Hallyday, and Loved Me Back to Life (2013), which featured a duet with Stevie Wonder, among others.
In 2014–15 Dion took a break from performing to take care of her ailing husband, who died in early 2016. During this time she was in the midst of her Las Vegas residency and was recording the French album Encore un soir (2016; “One More Night”), which was released some seven months after René Angélil’s death. She later recorded “How Does a Moment Last Forever” for the live-action Beauty and the Beast (2017) and “Ashes” for the parody superhero film Deadpool 2 (2018).
