Celine Dion has been entertaining fans for decades, but last year the singer shared the news that she was living with stiff person syndrome.

The My Heart Will Go On singer has no doubt been supported throughout her treatment by her children, René-Charles, 22, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13. Celine’s social media feeds often focus on her professional career as she continues to mark major milestones, but the doting mom of three sometimes thrills fans with a glimpse into her personal life.

The children, who lost their father, René Angélil, in 2016, have a strong bond with their mother, as you can see in this sweet video from 2017 where they surprised her with a beautiful message…

The 55-year-old Canadian songstress delighted fans on Wednesday when she made her first public appearance in over three years, with her three grown sons nonetheless, at a hockey game in Las Vegas. She gushed over her brood and the outing in a rare personal Instagram post, saying: “My boys and I had such a fun time visiting with the Montreal Canadiens after their hockey game with Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas Monday night. They played so well, what a game!! Thank you for meeting us after the game, guys! That was memorable for all of us. Have a great season!”
