Parton has been married to her husband Carl Dean since 1966, meaning 57 years have passed since the two tied the knot. The pair have repeatedly expressed their happiness with each toher, so it seems unlikely they’ll end up separating.

Especially given Parton’s recent comments. In an interview with E! News, the artist admitted while retirement is on her mind, it’s not happening anytime soon:

“Not today. Maybe, someday, I may have to. I’ve always said that if my husband was in ill health or needed me, I would most definitely pull way back.”

At the time of writing, though, she’s developing her upcoming Broadway musical “I’m Dolly – An Original Musical.” Here’s hoping Carl and Dolly have many more happy years together.
