Their chemistry has also sparked countless rumors of whether the two were ever an item. One of Rogers' ex-wives recently commented on what she felt about Dolly Parton. Let's find out what she had to say.

My brother used to drive Dolly's tour bus. He told me, " Dolly is nothing but a lady".

[greglemieux]

I can't stress enough how beautiful and Awsome both of them are. Keep on being AWESOME . No matter what realm you APPEAR to be on. 👍

Dolly Parton is an American treasure. If only everybody could have her self-esteem and self-confidence to be themselves and not care what others say or think, the world would be a better place. Dolly aint never changed who she was for nobody or to simply fit in.

Much respect to the X-wife in this video. She showed Kenny much respect. 🇺🇸

Thank you for an honest and non mudslinging article about three Class Act People: Kenny, Dolly and Marianne! RIP Kenny, and we'll always love your music and keep playing it in your memory.

saw Kenny so many times at Harrah's in Tahoe, even when I didn't actually go into the show you could sit at the " rendezvous lounge " bar in Tahoe and see him on stage behind the bartender . Could not hear him but you could see him . Loved his show with his 1st addition band as well as well . Steve Martin was Kenny's " warm up act " for a while there also . I loved the 70's when I lived in Sacramento . There were only 4 casinos in Tahoe back then . The show stars would come down Late at night to walk around and play games . There was hardly anyone in the Tahoe Casinos in the middle of the night except for the janitors cleaning up and a few tables open . I met so many stars one on one that way . Dom Deluise, BB King, Kenny . They would just sit at talk with you . great times ...

Everyone were under the assumption that these two were more than friends.
Dolly and Kenny had a connection, it was a beautiful thing. Listening these two performing together was inspiring.

"You can't make old friends " Dolly and Kenny were truly the best of friends, I for 1 think that if we all had a friendship like theirs the world might be a happier place, GOD BLESS YOU KENNY 🙏 RIP, BEST WISHES TO KENNY'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS X

I've loved Kenny Rogers and his music since he was with the group The First Edition. We go a long way back! May he forever rest in peace.

Yall Dolly and Kenny are Old Friends nothing less and nothing more. Yall just need to let them be.

I think the key in his wife not being “jealous” so to speak, is that he was truly taking care of her and her needs. It is in (most often) a place of lack in a relationship (and/or self) when you see the green eyed monster show up. He respected his wife and he respected Dolly. Stand up man! You will be missed Kenny.

I met Kenny Roger's when I was about 12 or 13 ....he was so nice and it would have been easy for him to not have been THAT nice but he was. I have always remembered that too..he was just genuine :)

[jbarea]

Kenny Rogers was a total gentleman and a down to earth man.The music world has lost a class act, and we have all lost a legend. Rest in peace Kenny.

[kennyray]

Wow... my Mother who is African American named me Kenny Rogers 😂😂😂I grew up listening to his music

[kenton]

A friend of mine worked on Dolly’s house in LA. The guy installing the hardwood floors was a dead ringer for Kenny Rogers. The first time she saw him she yelled and ran over and gave the guy a big hug. Bet your ass they were all big Dolly fans after that! She’s a good sport!

Mary Ann Gordon is a "Class Act." Good for her for not going on and on about certain details of her married life. So many today want to "AIR THEIR DIRTY LAUNDRY" for a few dollars. Makes me sad to think about it.
