René-Charles Angélil is currently in Paris.

He is attending the various Olympic Games competitions after seeing his mother steal the show at the opening ceremony almost two weeks ago.

For the record, Céline Dion returned to the stage after a 4-year absence, and her performance was nothing short of magical:

When we see René-Charles Angélil, usually it’s at his mother’s side.

He followed in her footsteps in the past by starting to make music, as he released a mini-album in 2021.

He was spotted at the last NHL draft in the Sphere in Vegas, when Céline announced the Montreal Canadiens’ 5th-round pick.

This time, however, he wasn’t accompanied by his mother, and it was Michel Villeneuve who noticed his presence at the Games, as he spoke about it this morning on X.

Why did this catch the former journalist’s attention?

Because René-Charles was spotted cheering on Team USA against Canada in women’s 3-on-3 basketball.

René Angélil (who died in 2016) and Céline Dion were both born in Quebec, but their son René-Charles was not.

The latter was born in Palm Beach, Florida, and grew up mostly in the U.S. because his mother sang several times a week in Vegas, and he lives there.

All this to say, in the end, seeing René-Charles cheer on the Americans against the Canadians shows that he has a stronger sense of belonging to the United States… And this, even if his parents are from Quebec.
