Dolly Parton Reveals Husband’s Strict Rule Early in Romance
Dolly Parton has opened up about the secret to her long-lasting marriage with husband Carl Dean, shedding light on the strict rule he imposed early in their relationship. Despite their decades-long love story, the couple has managed to keep their romance out of the public eye since their wedding in May 1966.
In a recent interview with E! News, the country superstar shared that spending time apart has been a key factor in their successful marriage, keeping things “exciting” by focusing on different activities. Dolly revealed that cooking, traveling in their RV, and having picnics are some of the things that keep their relationship strong.
However, one boundary that Carl set early on was his desire to stay out of the limelight, making it clear that he wants no part in Dolly’s fame. The singer recalled a moment when Carl attended a glamorous event with her and promptly decided he would not be attending any more.
Despite Carl’s preference for privacy, Dolly has continued to thrive in the music industry. Reports have surfaced about her upcoming album that documents her entire life, featuring over 30 tracks with the participation of more than 20 family members.
Additionally, Dolly is working on a four-part docu-series that traces her family’s journey from London to Tennessee. Fans of the iconic singer were relieved to learn that her beloved amusement park, Dollywood, is not closing permanently after a temporary closure due to inclement weather.
With a legendary career spanning decades, Dolly Parton continues to captivate audiences with her music and personal life, solidifying her status as a country music icon.
