This came after she tragically lost her husband, businessman and father of her three children, René Angélil, to throat cancer in 2016.
Celine’s heartbreak and struggles over the past few years will be highlighted in her new documentary I Am: Celine Dion, which premieres Tuesday.
But despite speculation that she is looking for a new partner, a friend told The US Sun that she has “barely socialized” outside her inner circle.
“She has no interest in relationships. Family and health take up most of her time, followed by her return plans,” said the friend.
“She is happy to be surrounded by her children. René was everything to her. Another man would need to be a Superman in her eyes to have a chance at a date.”
CELINE’S CURE
The friend also addressed old rumors that Celine dated dancer Pepe Muñoz, 39.
“Pepe is just a close friend and a great support,” the friend said.
The source explained that Celine’s sons Rene-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, were her inspiration during her battle with stiff person syndrome.
The condition left the My Heart Will Go On singer suffering from broken ribs amid concerns she could suffer serious falls and face the dangers of painkillers.
But she told her friend that she “wouldn’t allow anything to leave her children alone in the world.”
“Celine has faced so many challenges over the past few years, but she never gave up and stayed strong,” the hitmaker’s friend shared.
“At the core of his determination was being there for his boys.
“She swore she would never allow her children to not have a father around, especially after the loss of René hit them so hard.”
“Celine lives for her children and invests a lot in them,” the source continued.
She is not interested in relationships. Family and health take up most of her time, followed by her return plans.

“Her priority has always been being a mother, and although her career and singing come second, her main focus is supporting them as they grow.”
The source explained that Celine was warned that treatment for the disease could cause side effects such as falls and pain problems.
“But she survived, trying many cutting-edge therapies to recover,” they added.
“The challenging aspect of his situation is being able to control the spasms and muscle problems.
“That’s the focus of his recovery now.
LEANING ON FAMILY
“But the boys are very supportive of their mother. They were with her every step of the way.
“They truly are a gentle, caring group of children who adore their mothers.
“They have remained so strong for her and have matured beyond their years,” the source concluded.
Celine recently opened up more about her diagnosis while promoting her documentary.
“These last few years have been a huge challenge for me,” the Power Of Love singer, who hasn’t performed on stage since 2020, told Today’s Hoda Kotb in an interview earlier this month.
“The journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with it and manage it, but not let it define me,” she added.
