HuffPost
The country singer was with Carl Dean for over 60 years.
Dolly Parton is opening up about the special bond she shared with her late husband, Carl Dean, whom she was married to for nearly 60 years.
Parton spoke about why the two were so compatible on the latest episode of Khloe Kardashian’s podcast, “Khloé in Wonder Land,” which was released on Wednesday.
“You know, I’m not one of those people that has to have somebody around me all the time. In fact, I don’t like it,” Parton said. “I mean, I have to be out in the public and I belong to the public, but I am such a private person, and my husband was as well.”
“And that was the thing with us. We were so good for each other because he’s a total loner,” the country singer said of the unexpected quality she found in Dean. “We could just be in the house all day and say two or three words, didn’t matter. Or we could talk all afternoon, and lay in bed, talk at night.”
Kardashian asked Parton if her marriage was so successful because it was so private.
