Céline Dion, 50, Says Critics Of Her Slimmer Frame Should 'Leave Her Alone' As She Finally Addresses Relationship With 'Handsome Toyboy' Pepe Munoz

Céline Dion is set to headline the British Summer Time Concert in Hyde Park this year after her 15 year Las Vegas residency came to an end. 

And the iconic singer, 50, has addressed her 'slimmer figure', iconic sense of style, and those rumours of a relationship with 'toyboy' Pepe Munoz.

Talking to The Sun, Céline said her new sense of style (which is incredible) and her slimmer frame has been criticised. 

She said: 'If I like it, I don't want to talk about it. Don't bother. Don't take a picture. If you like it, I'll be there. If you don't, leave me alone.'

She also told Lorraine: 'It [an interest in fashion] has always been part of me, but the way we used to work before was maybe more conservative. 

'If now I have an opportunity to wear haute couture and the things that make me feel beautiful, strong, fearless, feminine attractive… even if it was just for me. You cannot please everyone all of the time.'

Céline refers to her late husband, Rene Angelil as the 'greatest man who ever lived.' He was the only man she had ever kissed and discovered her talent when she was 12.

He sadly passed away three years ago, from cancer, when he was aged 73 - and her brother tragically passed away in the same week. 


She said: 'Yeah, there's another man in my life, but not THE man in my life. We bonded right away as friends, it evolved... but let's not mix everything'

The pair have previously denied any sort of romance, but Céline can see why there is an interest in her 'best friend' who trains her and makes sure she is in the best shape.

She said: 'Yeah, there's another man in my life, but not THE man in my life. We bonded right away as friends, it evolved... but let's not mix everything.

'I don’t mind (the reports) because he’s handsome and he’s my best friend. When I say I am single, please leave me alone.'

'We're best friends. Of course we hug and hold hands and go out, so people see that. I mean, he's giving me his hand to go out.'

Some of the interview was also shown on Lorraine and Céline, who is the mother of Rene-Charles, 18, and twins Eddy and Nelson, eight, spoke about her boys. 

She said of Rene-Charles: 'Yeah 18. I can't believe it, for his 18th birthday I said I'm so proud of him, he's so athletic, the girls are starting to come now, do I have a choice? 

'I’m coping very well with it because that's life and that's normal. I know he's well taken care of from above, his dad is sending good energy and I told him I will always have my heart in my hand for him to hold on to.'

She said of her late husband: 'Knowing that now he’s in peace and is resting and is always within me. I see him every day through the eyes of my children. He gave me so much strength.
