Canadian singer Celine Dion has shown off her huge baby bump for the first time after denying that she has suffered pregnancy complications.
The 42-year-old, who is thought to be six-months pregnant with twin boys, posed on the cover of Canadian magazine 7 Jours with husband René Angelil and their nine-year-old son René-Charles.
‘As with most women expecting multiples, her doctor wants her to stay off her feet as much as possible as she finishes her pregnancy.
‘They’ve gotten calls from friends worried that something is wrong. To be so happy and then to get these calls, it’s been upsetting for them when they are in such a good place.’
Celine fell pregnant following her sixth in-vitro fertilisation attempt and turning to acupuncture to improve her chances of conceiving.
She said, ‘The first two months I really felt the classical symptoms – the morning sickness, hot flashes, nausea.’In a certain way, that reassured me, like a sign that my pregnancy was progressing. Now, everything is falling into place. I have a little belly.’ Um, quite a big belly, actually.
It was reported Celine was pregnant last August, but her spokeperson confirmed in November 2009 that the pregnancy had failed.
