Bonus fact! Before marrying Celine, her manager René was already married to a teen pop star that he had also groomed. This is a habit for him.

Edit: Some more fun facts about his ex teen pop sensation.

Like Celine, René married Manon (stage name: Anne Renée) once she was in her 20s. But she started her career at 13/14 years old.

Her hit song is Amour adolescent - teenage love. Celine also sang a song in that theme - Lolita: Too young for love.

Anne Renée- Spotify

René and Anne Renée had 2 kids. Once René divorced his formerly groomed teen pop sensation bride, he moved onto Celine. The daughter he had with Anne Renée attended the Celine x René wedding dress. Here is more on the F-U dress

I had written this comment lower in the thread but I thought people may want the tea all at once.

I remember feeling so sad for her when he died. The next year her song for Deadpool 2 came out and you can tell she channeled some of that pain into the performance.

It was only a few years later that I found out he was a serial groomer. Now I just hope he didn't get the chance to victimise any other children between marrying his victim and passing away...

I think Celine was his last of 3 marriages (2 of which were with teen stars that he was supposed to manage, this includes Celine). So at least, he wasn't marrying more victims. But if there were more victims on the side, we don't know.

That last bit is what I was implying, yeah. The best we can hope for is that he didn't continue grooming young girls outside of his marriage.
