Inside Dolly Parton’s Private Farm Life with Her Husband, He Took Care of the Barns and Tools, She Built Their Sanctuary

Dolly Parton, with a net worth of $500 million, and her husband Carl Dean, who prefers to stay out of the spotlight, live a peaceful life on a cozy farm. Instead of indulging in lavish luxuries, they choose a quiet and simple lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle.

Dolly and Carl’s love story started when they met in 1964 at a laundromat in Nashville. They married in May 1966 in Ringgold, Georgia. While Dolly became famous for her country music career, Carl has always stayed out of the public eye, which Dolly believes has helped their marriage last.

They decided not to have children and have focused on keeping their private life just that—private.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dolly shared that keeping Carl out of the spotlight is a key reason their relationship has endured for so many years. They’ve remained close and content, enjoying their time together on their charming farm.

 

Dolly Parton says that her husband, Carl Dean, chose her, not her career, and she respects his wish for a quiet life away from the spotlight. Even though people often wonder about Dean because he rarely appears in public, Parton explains that he prefers staying out of the limelight to maintain his peace.

Their relationship is built on mutual respect. Parton values that Dean isn’t jealous of her success and is genuinely interested in her work. His encouragement has been important to her, and they make a great pair.

Dolly and Carl live a peaceful life on their farm. Dean has retired from his paving business, and they enjoy spending time together doing simple things. They go on RV trips, explore Tennessee and Kentucky, and stay at clean motels during their travels. Parton loves these moments, especially after finishing her music tours.

Despite her significant wealth, Parton focuses on enjoying her time with Dean. For their 55th wedding anniversary, they had a modest country dinner at home with a meal prepared by Parton, including chicken and dumplings and Dean’s favorite, pecan ice cream.

Parton also showed off their beautiful home in a YouTube series hosted by Reese Witherspoon. Though they had planned to renew their vows for their 50th anniversary, they celebrated with a simple country dinner instead.

While Parton still performs occasionally, she knows this will slow down as she gets older. For now, she treasures her quiet life on the farm with Dean, valuing their time together away from the public eye.
