Celine Dion is said to be "shocked" that her IVF procedure was unsuccessful, but her husband reveals they plan to try again.

In an interview with Canadian paper Journal de Montreal [via People.com] Celine's 67-year-old husband René Angélil explained that they believed a previous implantation had worked, but sadly did not. "We are living the reality of the majority of couples who have to use [IVF]. The process can be long and arduous," he said. "But today, we are full of confidence. Celine is more determined than ever."

In August, Celine's doctor announced she was pregnant with an embryo that was kept frozen for eight years in liquid nitrogen.

"Dr. Zev Rosenwaks believed that the procedure/pregnancy took, but that wasn't the case," René added. "We found out some days later. We were shocked," said Angélil. They quickly tried again to get pregnant, but were unsuccessful, he added, "But you know Céline. She doesn't let go."

The couple has an 8-year-old son, who René calls "extraordinary."

Through it all, he remains hopeful and inspired by the process. "I admire all the women who go through such a tough process. Since April, she has undergone numerous examinations, multiple hormone injections and blood tests," he told the paper, adding that they are traveling to New York this weekend for another attempt. "Céline and I didn't get discouraged ... we put our faith in life and in the stars."
