TL;DR Summary

Dolly Parton has long joked that the secret to her 60-year marriage to Carl Dean is a two-word motto: 'Stay gone.' The couple eloped in 1966 and remained devoted despite Parton's global touring, with Dean largely out of the spotlight; they stayed together until his death in 2025, a testament to a partnership she has repeatedly celebrated in interviews.
