Dolly Parton reveals the recipe for her long marriage
In 1964, Dolly Parton met Carl Dean in Nashville. The two fell in love and two years later the wedding bells rang. The couple are still together today. In an interview, the singer now reveals the secret recipe for their marriage.
Country legend Dolly Parton has been happily married for 57 years. The singer and her husband Carl Dean are even set to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary in a few years' time. In a BBC radio program, Parton has now revealed the secret of her happy marriage. "We're open and honest with each other and we both have a quirky sense of humor," she said on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 Breakfast Show, according to the Daily Mail.
A good dose of fun and wit is therefore what sweetens their everyday lives. Her husband, whom she met in a launderette in Nashville in 1964, is "crazy, very funny and clever. And I got a great sense of humor from both sides of my family," says the "Jolene" singer.
In addition, a loving and respectful relationship has always been the basis of the couple's relationship. The 77-year-old can also rely on her husband's honest opinion to this day. Dean always tells her the truth, but never says it "in a cruel way".
Parton recently asked her 81-year-old husband what he thought of her latest album. When she played it for him, the singer said she was "a little nervous". But then he explained: "It's really good", which "meant the world" to Parton. For her, the praise from her always sincere husband was the equivalent of another person "jumping up and down".
Dolly Parton and Carl Dean have been a couple for 59 years. Two years after they met, they tied the knot and celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary on May 30 this year. Husband Carl Dean stays out of the public eye for the most part. However, the godmother of pop star Miley Cyrus has shared a few photos with her husband on Instagram.
