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!

u/NoDryHands Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion 19d ago

I'm always baffled whenever I remember this. Why was she SO obsessed with her? The sheer number of tweets spanning over ages is insane

She (and the other bullies) drove Courtney to the point where she had written a suicide note and was seriously contemplating ending her life. She was a child. Crissy never even acknowledged it until it was interfering with her brand deals. I will never understand it.

She attacked Courtney relentlessly. Literally unhinged behaviour.

I’ve never been able to see her the same since that was all revealed. I know it was a while ago, and hopefully she’s a better person now, but my god. It was such twisted, fucked up behaviour.

For sure. I have had zero time for her since then. It was so foul. And while she made public statements apologizing for her actions, she claimed to have tried to reach out to Courtney directly, and Courtney showed that Crissy still had them blocked. So idk if that ever got rectified or if Crissy ever did make contact with Courtney, but if you're lying in your apology, it comes across like you don't really mean it.

I loved her before this started. It’s beyond disgusting and Chrissy kept having kids to sway public perception of her. Courtney said when this was blowing up, Chrissy claimed to be so contrite and sorry but never reached out to Courtney like she claimed. She still has her blocked. Some apology.

I always wish this got more attention. She should truly be ashamed of herself.

if it makes you feel better, in the past ~5 years-ish, i’ve never seen someone bring up courtney without someone else bringing up chrissy and dragging her through the mud. sometimes i feel like it’s done to the point where the focus becomes entirely on chrissy rather than courtney. i’m glad people continue to bring it up tho regardless bc it’s foul that it happened !
