How Dolly Parton's marriage survived 53 years despite the rumors and heartache

For the last five decades, Queen of Country music Dolly Parton has been gracing us with her extraordinary talent as a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and actress. With 25 number-one hits, 42 chart-topping albums, nine Grammys, and ten CMA Awards, the musical legend has had one impressive career to say the least.
However, the mega-famous star with her iconic blonde wigs and flashy outfits has had more than just a successful career, she also has had a successful marriage to her husband of 53 years, Carl Thomas Dean. Although the couple has had their ups and downs, and has had to face several bumps in the road including rumored scandals and an “affair of the heart” that left Parton devastated – the pair has maintained strong throughout the years, and they are just as in love as ever.
In recent years, Parton has opened up about how she and her beloved husband – who prefers a simple life away from the spotlight and is quite opposite from his extroverted wife – have survived through everything life has thrown at them over the last 50-plus years.

Otherwise known as the Queen of Country music, singer-songwriter and actress Dolly Parton has had one remarkable career. Ever since making her album debut in 1967 with Hello, I’m Dolly, the nine-time Grammy winner has been gracing us with her unique voice and incredible talent, becoming one of the most successful entertainers of all time.

From singing and songwriting to playing an array of musical instruments and acting, it seems as if there is nothing this unstoppable power house can’t do. However, it isn’t just the 73-year-old’s remarkable five-decade spanning career that is impressive, but also her successful 50-plus year long marriage to her beloved husband, Carl Thomas Dean.
