Celine Dion is still packing the main in a Los Vegas theater and Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell got to sit down with the singer for an exclusive interview.
Good morning, Nancy.
Hello, Alexis, good morning to you and yes, that is right, I caught up with diva back stage in Las Vegas for a little bit of girl talk. After a struggle with fertility, Celine is the joyful mother of a 4-year-old boy Rene Charles. But in an effort to help others through the process of building a family, she's opening up to me, about her own challenges.
You've been very open in saying that, you have a frozen embryo in New York, (we have to..)and have another baby.
Yeah, I just feel that this little baby is a son, he is cold and wants his mommy to give him a hand and bring him to the sunshine, so, it dosen't mean it works, you know, every time, it's like a ...he tries just, you know, something extraordinary God has given to us, but, um, I want it to be there. That is for sure thing.
It's amazing of the technology and what they can do. It really....
It's a little scarey, so when you go into the details, some people are very against that. They say, this is not natural, this is not nature, this is not like all that. So I do not want to hurt people's feeling with this, but honest true is, there is an embryo in New York.
So they froze it and it is blood assessed that means it's five days old.
And that was all that was right for you, too.
It was right for us to do so.
And what if you have it as naturally before that.
That's fine. I'll take it all.
You know 3,4,5.
No problem, my parents have 14. Bring on. No problem.
Celine Dion would love to have an army of little ones, given the challenge she and husband Rene Angelil experience in conceiving their first son Rene Charles. Celine underwent a vitro fertilization to conceive, shortly after her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Did that play into it or which is just the right timing?
Both of us wanted to have this gift of life and he said what, maybe there's something to do about it, and the doctors that we talked to.
You were trying for six years.
We were trying for six years, and we couldn't...it didn't work. And then when he got sick we really thought that I was going to be a final answer. And then they said no, it's not over until it is over. So we talked to professional people, more than one dream came true, honestly.
Rene Charles?
Rene Charles and my husband's health so.
And there are even more revelations in her book" For Keeps". And on tonight's Access Hollywood I asked her why she has decided to be so open about everything by writing a book, coz it is not as if she needs the money, and she replyed by saying something highly unusual. She feels her fans have the right to know about her personal life like she says they come to my concerts I asked them to come, they gave my book I asked them to come, so basically I asked them to buy,by my house, so I feel like they have the right to know, unusual. Alexis
Pretty unusual, that's for sure, well Nancy O'Dell thank you so much.
