Celine Dion is constantly reproached for being thin after her husband’s death

Women are often faced with comments about their appearance from others, and this phenomenon has already got its name – body shaming, that is, criticism for not meeting the supposedly generally accepted standards of beauty. Celebrities are also dealing with this unpleasant phenomenon. The last victim? Celine Dion. However, the singer is not one of those people who will be silent, complex and shy.

Loss of a beloved husband and dramatic weight loss

Celine, 52, has changed markedly since her husband’s death in 2016. Since then, the singer has been harshly criticized for looking too thin and haggard, although she is quite satisfied with her weight.

In an interview with journalist Dan Wootton, Celine Dion said that her external changes were a way for her to rediscover her feminine side. She chose clothes in which she felt fashionable and more attractive – and she did not care what the whole world thought about this.

A mother of three children does not want her figure to be discussed:

“If it suits me, then I don’t want to discuss it. If you are satisfied, then everything is OK. And if not, then just leave me alone. “

Rumors of a new romance

Refuting rumors that she has a new boyfriend, dancer Pepe Muñoz, Dion stated:

“I’m not married. The media are already gossiping: “Ay-ay, Angelil recently died, and she has a new chosen one.” Pepe is not my chosen one and not my partner. When we first started working with him, for Pepe such rumors were probably a shock. We became friends, and people immediately started taking pictures of us, as if we were a couple … Let’s not mix everything up. “

“We’re just friends– explains Celine Dion her relationship with Muñoz. – Of course, we walk and hold hands, and everyone can see it. Pepe is a well-mannered person, and he gives me his hand to help me get out. Why should I object? “

The singer still loves her husband and cannot forget him even years after his death:

“He is in a better world, he is resting, and he is always with me. I see him every day through the eyes of my children. He gave me so much strength over the years that I could spread my wings. Maturity comes with age and time. “

Career, family and children

The singer admits:

“I feel old enough to voice what I think and what I need. I am 52 years old and I am the boss now. And I just want to be better myself and be surrounded – as my husband has always surrounded me – only by the best people. “

Celine says that her sons, 18-year-old Rene-Charles and 8-year-old twins Nelson and Eddie, support her in everything. According to her, she has problems in terms of setting boundaries for the eldest son, who is now a “man”:

“If you forbid, they will do everything on the sly, which is even worse. I give my son more space. Sometimes I don’t quite agree with what he wants to try. But as long as he thinks sensibly and reasonably, I trust him. “

Rene-Charles, like his mother, is pursuing a career in the music industry, and he now acts as a DJ under the name Big Tip.
