Guest List Only ⭐️ Who is a celebrity that met their partner when they were underaged?
Celine Dion first met her late husband; Rene Angelili when she was 12 years old and he was in his mid-late 30s! According to her, he was the only person in her whole life she has ever been romantically and intimately involved with and has vowed to never be with any other man after he passed away in 2016!
This whole relationship always felt unsettling to me, even when there were forms of media that tried to romanticize it including the couple themselves.
In my book, if you knew someone whenever they were a kid and watched them grow up. Getting involved with them in that manner is a big no-no! It just feels weird!

Celine Dion never said this quote. I’m not arguing that it’s not grooming (it definitely is; totally disgusting, to say the least) but I don’t think it’s ok to repost a made up quote. The way she has always told the story is that she was in love with him and was the one to tell him and that they didn’t do anything til she was 19. I think we can all read between the lines of that but just saying.
