Celine Dion Celebrates Her Twin Sons' Eighth Birthday: 'You Make Me Proud Every Day'

Céline Dion‘s twins are celebrating a big age milestone.

On Tuesday, the proud mom, 50, marked Eddy and Nelson‘s eighth birthday with a sweet tribute on Instagram.

In a silly family photo, the twins flashed peace signs as Dion, dressed casually in red sneakers and an all-black ensemble, playfully held a gold mask up to her son’s face. Behind the twins, Dion’s oldest son René-Charles, 17, posed in a cap.

“My sweet boys, you are turning 8 today and you make me proud every day,” the “My Heart Will Go On” singer wrote in French and English. “I love you with all my heart and wish you a very happy birthday! — Mom xx … “
