After another busy year on tour, Quebec superstar Céline Dion will soon be realizing another achievement — welcoming a new baby.

The 41-year-old Quebec singer is expecting her second child after recently undergoing fertility treatments, according to a spokesman for the Francine Chaloult agency, which represents Dion.

There is no confirmation on Dion's website. However, in the past, the singer has expressed a desire to have more children.

Dion and husband René Angélil, 67, have an eight-year-old son, René-Charles. Angelil also has three children from previous marriages.

Dion is one of the world's most successful entertainers, ranking second on Forbes magazine's list of top-earning musicians in June (placing second only to Madonna).

In the past year, the Charlemagne, Que., singer grossed $273 million on her latest tour, released an English-language greatest hits album (My Love: Essential Collection ) and debuted another fragrance in her perfume line.
