Dolly Parton is one of the most beloved country music stars of all time, but she's far more than just a talented musician and songwriter. She's also a wildly successful businesswoman, a compassionate humanitarian, and a devoted wife to her husband Carl Dean, whom she's been happily married to since 1966.

While the two have been an item for well over a half-century now, some of Dolly's fans aren't thoroughly convinced that Dean actually exists. Parton recently discussed this bizarre conspiracy theory in hopes of finally putting it to rest. Let's see what she had to say.
