The singer has been married to her husband Carl Dean for no less than 57 years. Her husband, whom she met in a laundrette in Nashville in 1964, is "crazy, very funny and clever".
"And I got a great sense of humor from both sides of my family," Parton replies on the "Radio 2 Breakfast Show" when asked by presenter Zoe Ball about the secret of their long-standing relationship.
Parton's husband is always honest with the singer
According to Dolly Parton, a loving and respectful relationship has always been the basis of their relationship.

But then Dean declared: "It's really good", which "meant the world" to the singer. For her, her husband's praise was the equivalent of a person "jumping up and down".
