MISCARRIAGE? - CELINE 'NO LONGER PREGNANT'



Sad news for Celine Dion, who in August was reported to be pregnant with an embryo that had been frozen in liquid nitrogen for the past eight years. Dion, 41, had embryos frozen for in-vitro fertilization while trying to conceive her first child, Rene-Charles, now 8. Celine is no longer expecting, In Touch Weekly reports:



In unfortunate news for Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil, the singer is no longer pregnant, a source close to the family tells In Touch. "While she and Rene are actively trying for a baby, she is not currently expecting," the friend says. In August, a rep for the "My Heart Will Go On" star confirmed her pregnancy, while reports surfaced that she used fertility treatments to expand her family. Celine and Rene have an 8-year-old son, Rene-Charles.

Yes, confirmed - Celine Dion is no longer pregnant:

"The husband of Celine Dion has revealed she is no longer pregnant.

Rene Angelil told Canadian newspaper Journal de Montreal that the latest in vitro fertilization treatment she underwent was unsuccessful.

The singer had announced her pregnancy back in August.

Rene said his wife underwent another treatment in October and that a third is planned.

"We're living the reality of the majority of couples who face these procreation techniques," said the music executive during a telephone interview from the couple's Florida home.

"The road can be long and difficult. It doesn't always work as was the case the first time with Rene-Charles,'' he added, referring to their eight-year-old son."

Its all over the media and is making celebrity headlines across the world. This is absolutely gutting news - I feel so sorry for her and her husband. Everything she's wanted for the last decade - a brother/sister to Rene and a 2nd child. I hope she keeps trying!

Céline Dion isn't pregnant after all – but will keep on trying for a second child.

"We are living the reality of the majority of couples who have to use [IVF]. The process can be long and arduous," Dion's husband René Angélil, 67, told the Canadian paper Journal de Montreal of their failed attempts. "But today, we are full of confidence. Celine is more determined than ever."

Forty-one-year-old Dion's doctor announced that she was pregnant via in vitro fertilization very early in the process, and it is now revealed that the embryos transferred in August and October were unsuccessful.

"Dr. Zev Rosenwaks believed that the procedure/pregnancy took, but that wasn't the case. We found out some days later. We were shocked," said Angélil. They quickly tried again to get pregnant, but were unsuccessful, he added, "But you know Céline. She doesn't let go."

The couple have one "extraordinary" son, René-Charles, born in 2001, who was also conceived with the help of Rosenwaks, director of the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center Medical Center.

"I admire all the women who go through such a tough process. Since April, she has undergone numerous examinations, multiple hormone injections and blood tests," Angélil told the paper, revealing the couple will go to New York this weekend for a third try. "Céline and I didn't get discouraged ... we put our faith in life and in the stars."
