4. Dolly Parton & Carl Thomas Dean
Dolly Parton met Carl Thomas Dean in 1968, and they have been together ever since. The couple spends a lot of time apart, with Dean preferring to stay home and tend to their plantation, while Parton goes out on the road to perform for her fans. For years, it was assumed the country singer had an open marriage with her husband after she made the comment, “If we cheat we don’t know it. If we do cheat, it’s very good for both us.” The couple’s don’t ask, don’t tell policy seems to be working, because after 47 years, Parton still proclaims she has never “met the man that would take [Dean’s] place.”
