Celine Dion and her son at the opening ceremony of the film

After his passing, Dion said she had a hard time balancing raising her kids, René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, with her career – all while keeping her deteriorating health a secret from the public. After the preview for the interview aired on the Today show this morning, Hoda reflected on her and Dion’s chat to her co-hosts, and she revealed that the My Heart Will Go On singer told her she had battled the disease for 17 years.
