This news follows her recent appearance at the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris.
Celine has expressed her long-standing dream of returning to Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower again.
Speaking to TMZ, the source confirmed that Celine is “feeling fine” despite her health challenges.
In a recent interview with Vogue France, Celine opened up about her SPS diagnosis and her determination to make a comeback.
“I have this illness for some unknown reason. The way I see it, I have two choices. Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself,” she explained.
Celine continued, “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”
