Céline Dion Opens Up About Dating After Death Of Her Husband -- 'I Am At Peace'

Dion went on, explaining what she misses most about her late husband:

“I miss to be touched. I miss to be hugged. I missed to be told, ‘You’re beautiful.’ I miss what a boyfriend and I miss what a husband would do.”

While the five-time Grammy winner has her three children, René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson, she also looks to something else for comfort — the last text message she received from the 73-year-old before his death:

“He called me before a show and give me a little message: ‘I love you.’ And when I came home that night, it was very, very late … And I didn’t want to come and wake him up to give him a kiss, to wake him up and then he can’t find sleep again. And the next morning, he was gone. So, we talked before. And he sent me a text message. So we said goodbye.”

She still has the message and looks at it today:

“But I am at peace, because I know that he doesn’t suffer. And I know that, right now, the courage that I have, he has given it to me all my life.”

While she isn’t ready to date quite yet, it could still be a possibility in the future, as she shared:

“I keep my soul and my heart open. Because I am so much (about) love, you know — with my fans and my children and my family. And I feel that love, and it keeps me going. But love, love, love, love, love — the true love, the romance, the romantic love — is not present. But it’s OK.”
