“Leaving the stage after a night like this is so hard,” Celine Dion admitted after one of her unforgettable performances in Australia. And it wasn’t just the music that had fans buzzing. At 50, the legendary diva seemed to be glowing brighter than ever during her summer tour across Australia and Asia. Some fans couldn’t help but wonder if that unmistakable sparkle in her eye might have something to do with a certain someone in her life—backup dancer Pepe Muñoz.
Pepe Muñoz: Friend or More?
Pepe Muñoz, the talented dancer who has been by Celine’s side on stage, has been the center of many rumors lately. But when asked about any romantic connection between him and Celine, Pepe laughed it off. “These rumors really entertain us,” he revealed. “We find them amusing and laugh about them together.” While Pepe insists there’s nothing romantic going on, he does admit that he and Celine share a special bond. “She’s someone I can always count on when I need to talk, and I’m always there for her as well,” he shared. “Celine is exactly what you see—kind, compassionate, generous, and always ready to give her best.”

Pepe: The Man Who Brought Light Back Into Celine's Life
Pepe has been a major source of positivity for Celine, especially after the devastating loss of her husband and longtime manager, René Angélil, who passed away in 2016 after battling cancer. An insider close to the singer revealed exclusively to Closer Weekly that Pepe has given Celine a fresh perspective on life. “He’s opened her eyes to new possibilities,” the source explained. “She feels like he’s helped her navigate her grief and move forward in a way she wouldn’t have been able to do on her own. Celine often tells her friends that Pepe is her long-lost soulmate. They stay up late talking, dancing, shopping—it’s like they’re inseparable!”
Even Celine’s children, René-Charles, 17, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 7, have noticed a significant change in their mother. “They say she’s glowing,” the insider shared. “They absolutely adore Pepe and think he’s wonderful for their mom. It’s clear he’s brought a lot of joy back into her life.”

Celine's New Fashion Risk-Taking
Celine, known for her iconic style, is now taking even bigger fashion risks, thanks to Pepe, who also happens to be a talented fashion illustrator. “He’s reignited something in her,” the insider revealed. “Celine has always been a diva, but now she’s fully embracing that side of herself and owning it. She’s experimenting with bold fashion choices, and she credits her newfound confidence and joy to her friendship with Pepe.”
With Pepe by her side, Celine’s music is also evolving. “We’re diving into new sounds, working with fresh producers, writers, and lyricists,” she said. “There’s so much more to come, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it. The best is yet to come!”
