Exclusive: Celine Dion introduces the babies she waited so long to have, 'miracle' twins Eddy and Nelson

13 DECEMBER 2010

She's getting by on little or no sleep, and now has a brood of three growing boys to look after.

But six weeks after giving birth to twin boys – siblings for her nine-year-old son Rene Charles – Celine Dion has the luminous glow of a woman loving every minute of motherhood.

Speaking in HELLO! this week, the songbird says that the babies, Eddy and Nelson - who were conceived after six IVF attempts - have made her life "extraordinary", and that she "doesn't know how women do it". 

The boys' father, the singer's husband of 16 years, Rene Angelil has spoken of his admiration for her. "She barely sleeps but remains radiant. Celine is a force of nature; she's proving that once again."

The 42-year-old mum says that the babies are already showing signs of individuality early on. "I think there's a Dion and an Angelil," she laughs. "You can see the Dion features in Eddy's nose and you see a lot of Angelil in Nelson."

And, Celine – who admits to still being in her "pyjamas at lunchtime" – also talks about how she's going to juggle the trio with her residency in Las Vegas, starting March next year.
