Fearing The Public
Rene was 26 years older than Celine. Rene and Celine started dating when Celine was only 19. The two of them knew that the huge age gap would be controversial despite their great affection for each other. And they were right to believe so. Even so, they continued to stay together, married each other, and started their own family.
She’s A Fantastic Secret Keeper
For five years, Celine and Rene kept their relationship a secret. In one interview in 1994, Rene had said that he was fearful of what people would say. Celine was the one who convinced him to reveal their relationship and she didn’t care about other people’s judgment. According to the singer, “When you’re in love, you want to scream it to the world.”
