LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Singer Celine Dion and actor Matt Damon both welcomed new additions to their families, representatives for the two entertainers said on Saturday.
Grammy-winner Dion, 42, gave birth to twin boys on Saturday by Caesarean section shortly after 11 a.m. at a Florida hospital, while in New York, “Hereafter” star Damon welcomed a baby girl with his wife, Luciana, earlier this week, his spokeswoman told Reuters.
Dion, the Canadian-born singer and husband Rene Angelil also have a 9-year-old son.
“Celine, Rene and their son Rene-Charles are thrilled,” Dion’s representative told People magazine. The twins were born healthy but premature and will spend a few days in an incubator. The singer was “resting,” the magazine said.
Dion, best known for hits such as “My Heart Will Go On,” was hospitalized earlier this month on the recommendation of her doctors to prevent the early delivery of her babies.
