Dolly Parton celebrated Thanksgiving by sharing a rare throwback photo of herself and husband Carl Thomas Dean.
“Happy #Thanksgiving from me and mine to you and yours,” the singer captioned the photo on Instagram, adding a red heart emoji. In the photo, the adorable couple is sitting on a velvet couch smiling happily to the camera. Parton is wearing a black dress with a white ruffle on the front. Even back then, she’s still rocking her iconic voluminous hairstyle. Dean, on the other hand, is wearing a crisp suit, purple shirt and a striped tie.
Parton’s fans quickly jumped on the photo sharing their thoughts in the comments. “Carl Dean was hot!” one fan commented with a few fire emojis. Another fan commented, “Obsessed with all the Carl Dean publicity lately,” with clapping emojis. A third fan praised Dolly’s long-standing marriage of more than 55 years adding, “I love how wholesome and true you have stayed all these years. So happy that your marriage has outlasted so many.”
Fans definitely appreciated the glimpse at the relationship since Dolly has been known to keep her marriage out of the spotlight over the years. Recently, however, she’s been giving fans more insight into their relationship.
Earlier this month, Parton praised her husband while promoting her new apparel launch. “Find you a partner who will support you like my Carl Dean does!” she captioned another throwback photo of the duo on November 2.
