Celine Dion has spoken out for the first time after learning her recent in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) was unsuccessful, insisting she's feeling "strong" and ready for another attempt at having a baby.
In August (09), the Canadian superstar, 41, announced she was expecting her second child after having embryos implanted in her womb, but her husband Rene Angelil confirmed in November (09) that she was no longer pregnant.
However, the My Heart Will Go On singer is refusing to feel "depressed" by the loss - she's already making plans to return to the same doctors in New York to undergo the process once more.
She tells Access Hollywood, "I feel strong and, honestly, we're very blessed. We have a wonderful child, we're extremely happy. It's not like, 'Oh my god, she's not pregnant and she's depressed.' You know how it works. We are great. We hope for the best, we hope to get pregnant. If it happens, it happens... We are going back to the same people, the same doctor in New York."
And Dion admits her eight-year-old son Rene-Charles is also hoping for a little brother or sister.
She adds, "When we announced to him that we were pregnant and then it didn't work out, he said, 'Wasn't it supposed to be 100 per cent sure?' I said, 'It was 100 per cent, but it's nature and it didn't work out.' And he was looking at me and he said, 'Are you going to try again?' I said, 'Yeah, we are going to try again.' He knows exactly what we are doing, so he's great."
