Having left the family home, the star's eldest son is living life in the fast lane, spending lavishly on flashy cars and online gambling.
Troubles continue to mount for Celine Dion. After revealing a battle with a rare neurological disorder, the "Power of Love" singer had to put a halt to her world tour, a move that disappointed fans worldwide and left future performances hanging in the balance until at least April 2024. But, unfortunately for Celine, that’s not all she’s got to worry about.
Amidst her battle with health issues, the "My Heart Will Go On" singer is also trying to navigate family drama. Her eldest son, René-Charles Angélil, once the apple of her eye, has become an increasing source of concern. René-Charles, who has been pursuing his higher education at the University of Nevada since 2019, is reportedly living a life of oppulence. With aspirations of carving out his own legacy in the music industry, René-Charles's lavish lifestyle has been cast into the limelight, painting a stark contrast to his mother's more discreet approach to fame and fortune.
His latest splurge is nothing short of jaw-dropping - a €300,000 self-gifted Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Class. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. René-Charles has been painting the town red with his indulgent spending on parties, private jets, and other luxurious gifts to himself. And as if this wasn't enough to raise eyebrows, it seems he's developed an appetite for gambling. Following a recent ban from a Las Vegas casino, René-Charles has found a new avenue for his betting in online gambling platforms.
The 'Bad Boy' Lifestyle
René-Charles has carved out a reputation as a 'bad boy.' It has been reported that he spends his days lounging, trying to appear rebellious for the camera, while lacking any serious professional pursuits. Since stepping out from under his mother's wing, he has seemingly cut communication lines, leaving Celine out of his fast-paced life.
This estrangement has been further complicated by his relationship with Angelique Weckenmann, who he started dating in 2016. The fact that her family owns a hotel-casino might be seen as adding fuel to the fire of René-Charles's gambling.
A Difficult Time
Once very close, René-Charles and Celine have become increasingly estranged, adding a layer of heartache at an already difficult time. As she faces the daunting task of regaining her health, the need to cancel her much-anticipated tour has been a bitter pill to swallow.
Although the timing of these recent events could scarcely be worse for Celine who is eager to reconnect with her audience, the advice of her doctors is to focus on her well-being.
