After a miscarriage late last year and five failed attempts at in-vitro fertilization, Celine Dion has finally achieved a long desired pregnancy. She and her husband Rene Angelil actually received a bonus after such a long struggle — they are expecting twins!

Angelili said, “We’re ecstatic. Celine is just hoping for a healthy pregnancy. She was hoping for one baby and the news that we are having two is a double blessing.”

The singer is 14 weeks along and is due to have the babies in mid-November. Celine plans to find out the gender of her babies next month.

Dion, 42, and Angelili, 68, have a 9-year-old son Rene-Charles.

We can’t help but point out the obvious — baby daddy will be 89 when the new babies come of age.

The talented Canadian songstress brought her act to Sin City in 2003 with A New Day… Live in Las Vegas. The five-year Caesars Palace run started out to be three and was extended because of its popularity.

She recently signed a new contract for another three year stint that will begin on March 15, 2011. This time it will be only 70 shows a year as opposed to her 5-night a week schedule from 2003-2007. With twins due in mid-November, she will have just four months to get back into shape for the rigors of performing five shows a month.

UPDATE October 23, 2010: Celine Dion twin sons born prematurely.
