Celine's SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE

She was feeling silly. During a Tomorrow’s Golf League match in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., on March 4, Celine Dion spent a few minutes chatting with ESPN’s Marty Smith about her longtime love of the sport as Tiger Woods and other athletes competed.

Cherished Memories Celine honored René on what would have been their 30th wedding anniversary in December, writing on Instagram, "You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything for us. We miss you so much."

Nine years after losing husband René Angélil, Celine Dion is back in the spotlight following a health crisis — and opening her heart up to romance again!

Asked which song from her catalogue best represents her golf game, the French-Canadian music star launched into the chorus of her 1997 Titanic soundtrack hit “My Heart Will Go On,” playfully swapping “heart” for a links reference: “Near, far, wherever you are,” she sang, “I believe that my ball will go on.”

Lyrics aren’t the only thing she’s been changing lately. “Getting out to the golf match and meeting so many people was a wonderful experience,” a source tells Life & Style, describing it as one of many outings Celine’s enjoyed in recent months that have been changing her perspective about her future. Nine years after losing husband and manager René Angélil to throat cancer at 73 — and two years after revealing her own struggle with a devastating health condition — the Queen of Power Ballads, 56, “is ready to find love again. Her heart is open to it,” says the source. “She’s hopeful about meeting that special someone.”

GREATER RESPONSIBILITIES

After being widowed in 2016, dating was the last thing on Celine’s mind. Her biggest priority in the wake of René’s death, she told Today, was to “be the best mother possible” to their children, René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy. But RC is now 24; the twins are 14 (see sidebar). “Her sons are older and more independent and don’t need her so much. They’re thinking about their own futures,” explains the source, “and they don’t want their mom to be all by herself.”
