Get a preview of the latest podcast episode of “Making Space” with music legend Céline Dion joining Hoda Kotb to open up about her battle with stiff person syndrome and her hopes to return to the stage.
Céline Dion is the baby of her very big family. The singing sensation is the youngest of 14 children of father Adhémar-Charles and mother Thérèse Tanguay Dion, both of whom passed away. Adhémar died in 2003 and Thérèse died in 2020. Although Dion didn’t have the easiest childhood — her family wasn’t rich and their living quarters in Québec were tiny, she has said — there was no shortage of love in their family.

We told stories, we sang songs, we held each other and we said our goodbyes.” Dion said the family was “pretty sure” their mom waited to pass until her family could come together. “And I also know that she wanted all of you to have the time of your life.” Noting that Thérèse, who played violin, wrote her daughter’s first song, she added, “Music was such an important part of our lives.
