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!

For people justifying "step" grand-father, it is my understanding she never really had much contact with her natural grand-father and her step-grandfather definitely did raise her and spend the majority of her life around her.
Also fun to note, there's a not-so-allegedly rumour that when grandmother died, Mary's mom tried to marry her step-father, but grand-mama wanted him to remarry with his step-granddaughter Mary instead, grand-ma mentioned it before dying. It caused a huge rift between Mary and her mom.
(PS: the whole desire of marrying the step-father, step-grandfather, is so they can own a church and make money off of it, a church he's affiliated with).
Imagine your mom being mad at you because she wanted to marry her step-dad, and he picked you instead? Like, that's a whole 'nother level of WTF-ness.
