Celine Dion gave birth two fraternal twin boys Saturday (Oct. 23). The Grammy-winning singer and her husband, Rene Angelil, welcomed the two boys at 11:11 and 11:12 a.m. at a hospital in Florida. The babies were born prematurely but are healthy, according to her rep.
"Celine, Rene and their son Rene-Charles are thrilled," the rep tells People.
The couple hasn't decided on names for the twins, who will spend their first few days in an incubator due to their premature delivery (they weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces and 5 pounds, 4 ounces at birth)."Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," Dion's rep says.
The twins are the second and third children for Dion, 42, and Angelil, 68, who have been married since 1994. Their son Rene-Charles is 9 years old.
Dion was admitted to the hospital last week for observation and to be near her doctors in case she went into labor.
Our best wishes to the family.

I feel bad for these kids. Their father won't be there for almost every important thing they go through. He'll be dead before they get to high school.
well, it's no worse than any other kids who lose their father when they are still young. it happens all the time (and at least they'll be provided for). and who knows? maybe he'll live til 90 or more!
there's no age limit on fatherhood.
Although it is true that he might live to be 100. It is also true that he won't have the energy or patience to spent quality time with the kids.
I am very happy for both of them. They really tried to have a baby for a long time. They can provide them with everything they need. The unmarried Mom with the 8 now 14 children, can not provide for them, so we do. Who would you rather be? In the mess with 14 children with a Mother without a husband since birth. Ease on up!!!
