Sheryl went on to add, “And people always say, ‘Well, how does that work? How does that work?’ I [say], ‘Dolly Parton knows how it works.’ She's been married [to Carl Thomas Dean] for 50 years."
"You have never seen her husband one time. You know why? ‘Cause they plan on staying married. And guess what we plan on? Staying married," the Emmy winner remarked.
