Dolly Parton's husband of 53 years, Carl Dean, recently made a rare public appearance in Brentwood, Tennessee. The reclusive 77-year-old was reportedly spotted running errands with the help of a personal assistant. While the couple has been going strong for decades, they live quite independent lives on their Tennessee estate, with Dean residing in a different building. Despite the distance, Dolly has said that their love is steadfast and they renewed their wedding vows in 2016 to mark their 50th anniversary. While Parton has admitted to having "an affair of the heart," she says that trust is at the foundation of their relationship, which she describes as "open" but not "sexually.
