Carl Dean, Dolly Parton‘s little-seen but often talked-about husband of six decades, has died, the singer announced Monday on social media. He was 82.
“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together,” Parton wrote in an Instagram post. “Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”
A statement added, “He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He was survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie. … The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.”
