Fearing the Public
Rene and Celine had a 26-year age gap between them. They’d begun dating when she was 19 years old, and that large gap caused a controversy to pop up. Still, they dealt with the criticism, got married, and started a family.
Can Keep a Secret
It took the pair five years to go public about their relationship. Rene said in a 1994 interview that he had been concerned with what others thought. However, Celine wanted to tell the world and didn’t care about that.
