She Then Went on to Win Eurovision
Céline performed at the 1988 version of the Eurovision song content, which was held that year in Dublin, Ireland. She represented Switzerland there, and sang the song Ne partez pas sans moi. Céline actually won the contest, though she only beat the second-place winner by a single point! It’s fascinating to think that she represented Switzerland- Canada, her homeland, does not compete in Eurovision, but you have to wonder why she represented Switzerland instead of France!

Her Relationship with René Also Changed Dramatically
After Céline returned from the Eurovision song contest, she and René, her manager, began a romantic relationship together. At the time, Céline was 20, and René was 46. René was especially concerned about what the public would think of the age difference and nature of their relationship, and the couple kept their relationship mostly secret for five years, only revealing that they were together to friends and family.
