He passed away in March at the age of 81. Now, she admits that she wasn\u2019t honest with fans about her husband. What secret was she keeping?<\/p>\n

She Admits She Wasn\u2019t Honest With Fans About Husband<\/h3>\n

Throughout her career, Dolly Parton has changed with the times. But one thing that remained constant in her life was her husband, Carl Dean. He kept a quiet life and let her have the spotlight. Some fans wondered if he was even real because he was rarely seen in public.<\/p>\n

He was real, and according to Dolly, he was wonderful. In a recent interview with The Independent<\/a>,<\/em> the singer revealed a secret she\u2019d been keeping from fans for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was ill for quite a while, and part of me was at peace that he was at peace and not suffering anymore. But that still doesn\u2019t make up for the loss and the loneliness of it,\u201d she said about her husband\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n

She said that she still feels his presence. She credited her faith for helping her through the difficult time. \u201cI am a person of faith, and I truly believe that I\u2019m going to see him again someday,\u201d she confessed. Shortly after his death, the singer released a beautiful tribute song that she wrote for him. \u201cIf You Hadn\u2019t Been There\u201d gave Carl Dean his due credit for always supporting her.<\/p>\n
