How Celine Dion’s Son, Who Resembles His Dad amid Balding at 23, Looks Now — His Transformation

He has been in the public eye since infancy, always by his mother’s side. From being photographed as a baby and then as a teenager, to now being a young adult with a beard, here is René-Charles’s dramatic transformation that makes him look older than his age.

René-Charles at Six Months Old

René-Charles was baptized at six months old in July 2001 in Montreal, Quebec. He was photographed with his parents leaving the chapel of the Notre-Dame Basilica.

At the time, the infant had a round face with soft, rosy cheeks and bright, curious eyes. His light brown hair was sparse and fine. He wore a simple, white baby outfit with delicate patterns.

Held lovingly by his world-famous mom Dion in the next image, he looked curious and content, perfectly capturing a tender moment between mother and son.

During a family outing in March 2002 in New York City, René-Charles was pictured with his mom and dad again. He wore a cozy, navy blue coat with a matching hat, keeping him warm in the chilly weather. His parents stood proudly beside him, reflecting their happiness and unity as a family.

By September 2002, during a casual day out in Paris, René-Charles at 20 months old, had grown further. His light brown hair was slightly longer, framing his face more fully. His features were more pronounced, and his expressions showed curiosity and liveliness.

In March 2007, René-Charles was pictured with his mother at Disneyland. Dion stood beside her son, both looking delighted to be at the “Sleeping Beauty” castle.

As a first-time parent, the “I’m Alive” hitmaker once gushed in an interview, “I love being a mom – it relaxes me to read stories to him, do finger painting, play with Play-Doh. I think people have a hard time imagining I can have a normal life, but I do.”

His confident demeanor reflected his comfortable presence at the event, highlighting his continued development and evolving style.

At 14 years old, René-Charles mourned the death of his beloved father just a week before turning 15. He delivered a heart-wrenching eulogy, saying, “Fifteen years is not a long time for a son to get to know his father. […] You left me now with enough good memories of you to share with my younger brothers.”

René-Charles was photographed with his mother Dion, and his siblings at his dad’s funeral. As a teenager at the time, his face had developed significantly, showing more defined and mature features.
