Céline Dion paid tribute to her late husband René Angélil in a moving social media post shared Tuesday. Dion shared a photo of the two from their wedding on December 17, 1994, which was held in Montreal, Canada. The 56-year-old singer — who's career was derailed by her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome — lost her husband in 2016 to throat cancer.

In her photo, the lovebirds gazed into each other's eyes while Céline caressed René's face. She was dressed in a stunning white lace and satin dress with plunging neckline, and she added a touch of opulence with a sparkling headpiece covering her forehead, along with a traditional white veil.

'You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything for us. We miss you so much,' read her heartbreaking caption. Céline Dion paid tribute to her late husband René Angélil in a moving social media post shared Tuesday for their 30th wedding anniversary.

A post shared by Céline Dion (@celinedion). 'Happy 30th anniversary, mon amour!' she added, before signing off for herself and the couple's three sons, René-Charles, 23, and their 14-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy. Céline's first came into René's orbit when she performed for him in 1980 when she was just 12 years old.
The audition was a success, and he agreed to become the budding singer's manager. But their relationship became romantic by 1987, when Dion was 19, and the two tied the knot seven years later. Céline reportedly feared that the public would assume their relationship began before she was of age, so she kept details of the relationship close to the vest for years.
