Dolly Partonhas beenmarriedtohusbandCarl Dean for 53 years.
My second thought was, ‘Lord she’s good lookin.’
And that was the day my life began."
If you’re surprised to hear that Parton is married, we can understand why.
Talking toPeoplein 2016, Parton hinted that Dean may be more of an introvert.
“My husband is a loner,” she revealed.
“He doesn’t particularly care about being around anybody but me.
He’s just always asked me to leave him out of all this.
He does not like all the hullabaloo.”
It could also be because Dean simply isn’t interested in fame.
“He’s not in show business,” Parton toldParadein 2018.
“He’s not resentful of any of that.
He loves to hear about the things I do.
I love to hear about the things he does.”
“They say that opposites attract, and it’s true,” she said in 2015.
“We’re completely opposite, but that’s what makes it fun.
I never know what he’s gonna say or do.
He’s always surprising me.”
He knows I’m just the opposite.
I can’t go enough places.
I can’t do enough things.
He doesn’t need me in his face, and it’s the same with me.
But when we’re together, we have enough things in common that it works."
