The secret has been well kept. This unexpected marriage could very well have been held in Las Vegas (United States), where the Quebec diva resides. What could be more extravagant, in fact, than to say “yes” as it exists over there aboard a helicopter or in the middle of the desert?
It would have been like those eccentric outfits that Céline is so fond of, wildly original and a total break with the solemn ceremony broadcast on Canadian television on December 17, 1994, during which she married her mentor, René Angélil, in the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. But we have to admit that getting married in the city of the game, surrounded by Elvis Presley lookalikes, is nothing out of a fairy tale… That’s probably why this union that took everyone course took place in Spain, land of sun and passion. While we thought she was at her wit’s end, the singer hid her game well. At 53, the eternal romantic who slumbered in her finally seems to have woken up! It was time !
The groom, originally from Malaga, had wanted the wedding to be celebrated with the utmost discretion. Certainly, since his meeting with Céline in 2017, he has ended up getting used to fame, but, for this solemn day, Pepe Munoz – since it is about him – needed to find himself simply surrounded by his family, without hordes of fans coming to disturb these emotional moments.
As an announcement, a photo posted on Instagram captioned: “Me and my husband, my husband and me…”
Since 2017, the date of their meeting, a great complicity unites them.
After losing René Angélil – who died of throat cancer on January 14, 2016 – Céline spent more and more time with this sexy choreographer. And she has metamorphosed, slimmer than ever for many months: her silhouette continues to fuel the craziest rumors. Does she suffer from anorexia, depression? Would she be suffering from a serious illness that she would hide so as not to panic her audience?
Two years ago, however, she delivered to the American magazine People crucial information that at the time went almost unnoticed: “People say ‘She’s too skinny’, but I work hard. I love to move, that’s why I lose weight. I do exercises four times a week,” she said. Having become her dance teacher, Pepe made her see all the colors… but what would she not have accomplished to please the handsome Andalusian sixteen years her junior! Very smitten, Pepe has finally agreed to commit for good.
And what prettier proof of love than getting married! “He has done so much for me. He just held my hand, which I hadn’t had in a long time. He did a lot for my mental health, my spirituality, my strength,” the diva also said. It was with a few words posted on Instagram that these unexpected nuptials were revealed: “Me and my husband, my husband and me…”, Internet users were able to read!
As you may have guessed, it was not with his great friend Céline that the 37-year-old dancer, author of this message, united his destiny, but with a man, a dancer like him, named Brayden. Newby. The latter also wanted to share his happiness on social networks, by publishing a photo in which we see him asking Pepe and where he writes: “Surprise! We got married six months ago. A magnificent announcement that undoubtedly filled poor Céline with joy, who, according to the latest news, would still be forced to rest in Canada because of her health concerns…
