Dolly Parton, renowned for her glamorous public image, likes to bring a bit of that sparkle into her home life too, especially for her husband of 57 years, Carl Dean. In a 2022 interview, Parton revealed, “I like to dress up for Carl. Every day, I put on some makeup and fix my hair because I think, ‘Well, the whole world sees me all dressed up, so why not at home too?’ I’m not just gonna go home and flop on him.”
Having been married for nearly six decades, Parton and Dean have experienced every facet of each other’s lives. The singer shared that she puts effort into her appearance not only for herself but also for her husband. “He would love me either way, but I want to look my best,” she explained. When asked if this is the secret to their long-lasting and exciting marriage, Parton responded, “I think it helps! Nobody wants to make out with a slouch. Keeping things interesting and spicy definitely helps.”
This commitment to keeping things lively isn’t just confined to her personal life. In November, the country music legend, who was recently inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, is set to release her debut rock album, Rock Star. The album features a star-studded lineup of contributors from the rock genre. Parton introduced the first track, “World on Fire,” while co-hosting the 2023 ACM Awards with Garth Brooks, proving once again that she knows how to keep things “spicy” in her career too.
