Dolly Parton reveals she’s ‘a housewife’ and doesn’t go out much
The country star, who is married to Carl Dean, said: “I don’t go out that much and I kind of just live a simple life. I look like a party doll, but I’m basically a homebody when I’m not.” work; I like being home. I like cooking and reading, and crazy things around the house, feminine things.”
She added: “My husband and I have always enjoyed each other. I love doing things with him; we have a small RV and like to travel around, especially in Tennessee – we like to go out just for weekend getaways or day trips. We’ve been all over the country with it.”
Parton, who married Dean in 1966, is quite popular, but the retired businessman enjoys being out of the spotlight.
The singer admitted, “He never liked going out to dinner and all that stuff. And while I like going out with friends for a nice dinner and having fun, it just felt normal to me to keep my life private. “
She added: “We are a close family and love to have fun. I have a big house – and several big tables – and in my house we can have fun anywhere.”
In a television appearance, Parton shared the secret of her 58-year marriage.
“I’m just saying, everything new becomes old,” she told an outlet. “And I think when you stay together so much, you start to nitpick every little thing and notice it all.”
“It worked for us because we both do different things and it’s exciting when we’re together,” says the Happy sound star continued. “So the fact that there is little space makes it exciting when you go home.”
In an episode of her Apple Music radio show “What Would Dolly Do?” the Tennessean joked about her husband’s relationship with fame.
“Carl has never been in the spotlight and never wanted to be in it,” the 78-year-old admitted. “He doesn’t like it.”
