Wedded Bliss
Parton married Carl Thomas Dean, a Nashville asphalt firm owner, in 1966. Despite Dean’s dislike of the spotlight and his infrequent attendance to Parton’s events, the couple has been happily married since then. They renewed their vows in 2016 to commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary. “We’re actually quite proud of our marriage,” Parton has stated of their union. It’s our first time together. “And last but not least.”

No Children Of Her Own
Parton and Dean had no children despite their long marriage. This is owing to Parton’s severe endometriosis, which necessitated a full hysterectomy in the future. She explained that she was given the “freedom” to pursue her aspirations as a country singer because she “had no kids and my spouse was quite independent.” “I believe that having the freedom to work was a key component of my overall achievement.”
