Carl Dean and Dolly Parton – 55 Years

Singer-songwriter Dolly Parton met Carl Dean back in 1964. After two years, she was finally able to wear a wedding dress, and they exchanged vows. We’re glad to see another couple on this list that has been together for more than half a century. One of the reasons they probably stayed together is that they kept their relationship private. Another is that Dolly mentioned that they are two opposite people. It’s fun for them since they always surprise each other in what they say and do.

The I Will Always Love You singer has always been private about her relationship with Carl Dean. Many people even thought back then that her husband did not exist because Dolly was never spotted outside with him. However, despite her husband being quiet and not going out to the spotlight, they keep the spark by their planned spontaneous dates. This pair indeed deserve credit for keeping their relationship on the down-low.
