CELINE Dion has given birth to twin boys, finally realizing her dream of being a mother again after a long struggle to become pregnant.
A statement released by St Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, said that the 42-year-old superstar singer delivered the boys on Saturday afternoon. One boy weighed 2.55 kilograms while the other weighed 2.38 kilograms. No names have been announced.
Dion and her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, are already the parents of one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles.
But Dion had long wanted to have more children, and, like with her first child, she had difficulty becoming pregnant. She has spoken openly about her struggles, undergoing several rounds of in-vitro fertilization.
Last year, after information leaked that she was pregnant, she confirmed the news, only to learn that the in-vitro procedure was not successful. She had to issue a reversal weeks later.
In an interview earlier this year, Dion said she hoped that by publicly sharing her struggle, she could help others.
"If I help people through my voice, through my interviews, through what I go through, I do not want to change that at all," she said. "I think it's making a difference."
The boys came a month early. Dion was due to deliver next month, but earlier this week, it was announced that she was hospitalized as a precaution to make sure she was near her doctors as she prepared to give birth.
