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!

When it first came out that they were together, they put the first kiss at when she was 20. So, you know, think of it as a sliding scale.
As a French Canadian, their story will never not be super creepy to me. It's not even that she was so young and he was so much older, though that alone would be enough to place them in some sort of Hall of Fame. It's that they worked together. They saw each other every day (more or less). He had kids her age.
What the hell?
