Celine Dion Unveils Twins Eddy And Nelson (PHOTO)

First Posted: 12/08/10 09:21 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:15 PM ET

Celine Dion has unveiled her new fraternal twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, in a new cover story for her native Canada's Hello! Magazine.

The twins, born in October, had Dion gushing. "They're so cute, it's incredible," she said. "When we look at them we can't believe it, and to have them here at home - it's all we could wish for."

"They're feeding every two hours now," she continued. "It's going well. I don't get a lot of sleep, yes, for sure I'm tired, but that's what I want."

Dion, who with husband Rene Angelil has a nine-year old son named named Rene-Charles, spent years trying to get pregnant again, going through IVF treatments and suffering a miscarriage. So the couple wanted to give the twins meaningful names.

"We met with Nelson Mandela and spent some time with him at his house when we started Celine's world tour," Rene said. "Eddy is an homage to Eddy Marnay," he added, referring to the songwriter that wrote Dion's first five albums and died a few years ago.

Were these little boys named after the singer Nelson Eddy??? Really I couldn't believe it when I heard their names.

They're named after ppl in their lives. I believe one was a manager, something like that. At least, i think this is what i read.

So glad she finally got to have children after so much disappointment.

Yikes. Most Canadians cannot stand her. Lots of folks have kids. She's not special.

Do you wake up feeling miserable everyday and feel the need to share your bad attitude with the world? So insecure you have to say something no matter what? Get a life!

Must be a chore for you - to actually know most Canadians and how they feel about her. Do they report in every week, month? Just curious.

Congtrats to my fellow Canadian.. loved her growing up as a child artist who only sang in French and now as an international artist. I'm truly happy for her. Felecitations Celine et Rene!

I do wish they had given their sons French names, as they did with their first son, Rene Charles. But I am happy for her too. Very beautiful babies.
