Celine Dion’s Life at Home with Her Rare Health Condition and Her Three Sons by Her Side
In 2022, Celine Dion revealed she had been diagnosed with a rare condition that affects her muscles and vocal cords. Since then, her eldest sister, Claudette Dion, has been updating fans on Celine’s health. Following the diagnosis, Celine stepped away from the public eye and now keeps a low profile, residing in her Las Vegas home that she shared with her late husband and their three children.
Claudette Dion has shed light on how the iconic singer is coping with her illness. In an interview, Claudette, one of the 14 Dion siblings, shared insights into Celine’s battle with the debilitating condition. “She’s doing everything to recover. She’s a strong woman,” Claudette noted, although she admitted that the family still knows little about the illness. The Grammy Award winner’s sister described the symptoms, saying, “There are spasms that are impossible to control. It’s like having a cramp in all your muscles.”
In December 2022, Celine disclosed in an emotional social media post that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome. She explained that the condition caused spasms affecting her daily activities, including walking, and impacted her vocal cords.
During a tour in Germany, Celine experienced severe muscle spasms just before a performance. She panicked but eventually performed, though she sounded nasal. Adjustments were made to lower the song keys. At that time, Celine attributed her condition to sinus and throat infections, unaware of the true nature of her illness. She has since canceled her Courage world tour, prioritizing her recovery.
Celine now lives quietly with her three sons, René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson, in the Las Vegas home she bought with her late husband, René Angelil, who passed away in 2016. Celine and René once owned a waterpark-inspired estate in Florida, which featured 13 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and various water attractions. The property sold for $38.5 million after several years on the market.
Celine also sold another property in Summerlin, Las Vegas, in April 2023 for $30 million. She had purchased the mansion for $9.2 million in 2017 and spent years remodeling it before its sale in 2024. The 31,000-square-foot house, overlooking a golf course, features an underground garage, a massive pool, and extensive amenities.
Currently, Celine resides in her 1.5-acre Las Vegas home in Henderson, Nevada, purchased in 2003 for $1.2 million. The estate, spanning over 8,100 square feet, includes four bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a detached guest house. During the pandemic, Celine filmed a video from her kitchen, revealing the home’s elegant white-themed decor.
Before her real estate ventures, Celine gained fame through her Las Vegas residency, performing at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace. Her shows earned her significant income, making her one of the most successful residency performers. This paved the way for other stars like Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey to follow suit.
Celine Dion, celebrated for her powerful voice and hits like “My Heart Will Go On” and “Because You Loved Me,” remains one of the best-selling female artists globally. Despite her health struggles, her legacy continues to inspire fans worldwide.
