WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Canadian songstress Celine Dion has given birth to premature but healthy twin boys at a Florida hospital.
A statement released from St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., says the pop diva delivered the boys Saturday afternoon.
The hospital says one boy weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces, while the other weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces.
Dion's husband Rene Angelil, 68, expressed his joy at a press conference a few hours after the births.
"I did cut the cords, both cords ... it's a great feeling," said a beaming Angelil.
"I hope to provide to them all the love that I can for as long as I can."
Dion's obstetrician Ronald Ackerman said the singer and her husband were two of "the most caring and kind individuals" that the hospital has cared for.
He added that the twins, though healthy, would spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born early.
He also said both baby boys were born with a good amount of hair.
Quebec-born Dion is thought to be in good health as well.
She was hospitalized earlier this week after displaying signs of early child birth. She was in her 35th week of pregnancy and was due to deliver in November.
Dion and Angelil are already the parents of 9-year-old Rene Charles.
The couple has tried for years to have more children. Dion's yet unnamed twin boys come after the superstar singer went through several rounds of fertility treatment and even suffered the loss of a pregnancy in 2009.
In an interview earlier this year, Dion said she hoped that by publicly sharing her struggle, she could help others.
"If I help people through my voice, through my interviews, through what I go through, I do not want to change that at all," she said. "I think it's making a difference."
Dion, a five-time Grammy winner who has sold tens of millions of albums, announced earlier this year that she would be returning to Las Vegas for a three-year run at Caesar's Palace. She had a hugely successful five-year run in Las Vegas that ended in 2007.

Celine Dion miscarries
By The Canadian Press MONTREAL - Celine Dion has lost her baby.
A spokeswoman for the pop star has confirmed that Dion's pregnancy - which she announced in August - has failed.
The couple had its first child with the help of fertility treatments, she became pregnant again with the help of the same technology, and the couple has kept trying despite the latest setback.
Dion tried fertility treatment last month, but that didn't work, and she will make another attempt at getting pregnant this weekend in New York.
Dion's husband Rene Angelil has told a newspaper that he and Dion are disappointed but determined, and that they take comfort in the fact they already have one child.
Dion, 41, and Angelil 67, have an eight-year-old son Rene-Charles.

Celine Dion and Renee Angelil get immortalized in wax
Celine Dion and hubby Renee Angelil at Grevin Museum in Paris
Celine's son 7-year-old Renee-CharlesI realize that this is probably old news to some, but I thought I would post about it anyway. Since I am a long time Celine Dion fan (and unlike many people not ashamed to admit it either).
In the last week of May Celine and her two main men paid a visit to France, where the singer received the country's highest recognition a Knight of the Legion of Honor by the French president.
They also stopped by the Grevin Museum for an unveiling of their wax figures (as you can see from the above photos).
I wonder if Celine and Renee have another set of wax figures at Madam Tussauds Museum in London as well?.
Hard to tell the difference between the real Celine and the wax figure isn't it? lol. Actually I think Renee looks even more convincing which is scary.
And then there's Celine's pride and joy little Renee-Charles (well ok I guess he's not so little anymore being 7 and all) anyway Renee-Charles definitely has his mother's looks, he's gonna be a heart-breaker when he grows up.
I will refrain from making any comments about his hair, since so many people have already done just that under the comments section of the photo source page.
Oh, and on a somewhat related note I have added Just Jared to my links section, it's a really great source for celebrity pics and news, as well as t.v. shows.
