Angélique Weckenmann, the partner of Céline Dion's son, would have canceled their marriage because of the temperament of her fiancé, considered “too authoritarian”.

Bad news for Celine Dion's son. René-Charles Angélil would indeed have been forced to cancel his marriage to Angélique Weckenmann, revealed the magazine Closer on Friday, November 22. The young woman would also have left their home, located in a luxurious subdivision in Mesquite, near Las Vegas. According to the sources of the celebrity magazine, René-Charles Angélil would be “totally upset” by this separation.

And for good reason: the marriage of René-Charles Angélil, announced in August, was a highly anticipated event. The son of the Quebec singer met Angélique Weckenmann in high school. She is the daughter of Ekaterina Weckenmann, financial director of the famous Wynn casino-hotel in Las Vegas. René-Charles Angélil and his ex-partner, who seemed very close, had recently decided to take a new step in their relationship. “They chose a wedding ceremony that reflects their authenticity and their mutual commitment,” a source close to the couple revealed to Closer on August 30.

An “authoritarian” manager

According to testimonies collected by the magazine CloserAngélique Weckenmann would have separated from René-Charles Angélil due to the latter's demanding commitments, very present with his mother, of whom he became the full-time manager.

Indeed, the young man has been very busy since the return of Céline Dion, who has made numerous public appearances since the start of the year. For two years, she put her career on hold due to her rare and incurable illness, called stiff man syndrome. The artist and his son were notably seen together in Saudi Arabia on November 13 for the Elie Saab 45th anniversary fashion show. The 56-year-old singer performed two hits there.
