Did Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton date?


Were you wondering if Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers ever dated? It’s no surprise because I have always wondered as well.

That led me to dig around to find the truth! I spent some time searching through and listening to various interviews to see what they both had to say about each other. I wanted to put together what I found, so this is it!

Kenny was actually married 5 times. Dolly and her husband have been married for over 50 years! She met Carl Dean in 1964, they got married in 1966 and the rest is history.

Being married for more than 50 years is a feat worth applauding when you’re in Hollywood — and Dolly Parton is certainly not a small star. It’s normal to wonder how these two have been making things work for as long as they have been, and, as it turns out, Parton has kind of a strange secret to making their marriage last: she and Carl Dean spend a lot of time apart.

In an interview with People, Parton said she always laughs when people ask her the key to their love, adding, “I always say ‘Stay gone!’ and there’s a lot of truth to that. I travel a lot, but we really enjoy each other when we’re together and the little things we do.” 

I also came across this video that I think you’ll enjoy!

Here is a video with Kenny Rogers when he stopped by the HuffPost Live studio to talk with Marc about his rumored affair with Dolly Parton.

“We just teased each other, and we flirted with each other for 30 years”

‘She’s the kind of person who, if she walked in the door and I hadn’t seen her in five years, I would be just as comfortable with her as the last time I saw her.’

One thing that’s pretty interesting is that he said Dolly never calls or texts…

‘She sends faxes!’ he laughed. ‘Who sends faxes? Who even has a fax anymore!’
