LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) Celine Dion's struggle to have one more baby has more than paid off. She's pregnant with two.

Publicist Kim Jakwerth confirmed in an e-mail Sunday that the 42-year-old Canadian songstress is 14 weeks pregnant with twins, and she plans to find out the sex of the babies next month.

"We're ecstatic," her husband and manager, Rene Angelil, told People magazine. "Celine is just hoping for a healthy pregnancy. She was hoping for one baby and the news that we are having two is a double blessing."

Dion and Angelil have one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles.

She had undergone six rounds of in-vitro fertilization in an attempt to get pregnant again, according to People magazine.

Dion is working on new albums in English and French, and returns next year to Las Vegas for a three-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
