As we already knew singer Celine Dion and her 67-year-old husband Rene Angelil are expecting their second child together. Now more details emerged. People magazine revealed that Celine Dion used an eight-year-old embryo to get pregnant after the in vitro fertilization treatment.
The mag said Celine Dion conceived after Dr. Zev Rosenwaks implanted a embryo that had been kept frozen in liquid nitrogen eight years ago to her womb. Dr. Rosenwaks, a fertility specialist, is director of the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at New York-Presbyerian Hospital/Weill Cornell Center Medical Center.

Celine Dion, 41, kept some embryos frozen when she tried to conceive her first child, René-Charles Angelil, who was born in 2001. Freezing an embryo for many years is not necessarily a problem. British girl Shani Moran-Simmonds was born after her mother kept the embryo for 11 years.
“She is feeling well. So far, so good. I look forward to hearing the fetal heartbeat. René and Céline are both looking forward to a pregnancy that is a healthy one,” Dr. Rosenwaks said.
