And I\u2019m glad now that we never did, because once you start that, that becomes a lifetime thing. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019ve seen it with so many people, and I thought, \u2018I ain\u2019t ever starting that.\u2019 I couldn\u2019t bear to think that he\u2019d say something I couldn\u2019t take \u2026 because I\u2019m a very sensitive person toward other people and myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn 2020, Dolly revealed that she gets asked by fans if her husband actually exists.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer has always kept her marriage out of the spotlight, and some people still doubt if he&#8217;s actually real.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told &#8216;Entertainment Tonight&#8217;: &#8220;A lot of people have thought that through the years, because he does not want to be in the spotlight at all.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s just not who he is. He&#8217;s like, a quiet, reserved person and he figured if he ever got out there in that, he&#8217;d never get a minute\u2019s peace and he&#8217;s right about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/humour-key-happy-marriage-says-dolly-parton-1410337.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 December 2024 Dolly Parton believes humour is key to a happy marriage.
