Céline Dionis missing her late husband René Angélil on the sixth anniversary of his death.
“I would be lying if I said I’m fine, I think of you at least a hundred times, cause in the echo of my voice I hear your words just like you’re there… I miss you – Céline xx…” she wrote in the caption.
The singer repeated the first portion of the phrase in a second paragraph, but replaced “I miss you” with the French translation “Tu me manques.”
Dion and Angélil went public with their relationship shortly before getting engaged in 1993 on the “Power of Love” singer’s 25th birthday. The couple wed in December 1994 and remained married until Angélil, who was previously Dion’s manager, died in 2016.

Dion and Angélil had three sons together during 22 years of marriage: René-Charles, 21, and twins Nelson and Eddy, both 11. Dionopened upabout life after losing a husband and a father in a May 2021 interview onToday.
“I feel like René has given me so much through the years and still today,” she said at the time. “I see my kids. I look at them — we live with him. We still live with him. He’s part of our lives every day, so I have to say that I feel very, very strong.”
Earlier in the interview, Dion said dating someone new wasn’t on her mind. “Right this second, love is so big right now in my life, with my kids, with life itself,” she said. “I’m not thinking about a relationship and falling in love again. I don’t. Do I have to say that it will never happen anymore? I don’t know. I don’t know.”

“I don’t date. I’mnot ready to date,” she admitted on the show. “I’m so lucky to have so many people surround me who make me laugh, but I miss to be touched. I miss to be hugged. I missed to be told I’m beautiful. I miss what a boyfriend and what a husband would do.”
However, Dion said her late husband was often on her mind. “Before I talk, he goes through my mind ‘Would he do that? Is it too edgy? Would he be approving that?’ I believed in him so much and I still do,” she explained.
“There’s a point where he’s not here anymore,” the star continued. “I have to take charge of my life.”
