Legendary music icon Dolly Parton had the internet twitterpated when she posted a throwback photo of her and her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, on an Instagram post on Tuesday.

The reason for the excitement is because the "9 to 5" singer and Dean are rarely seen together publicly, and she has been respecting his preference for staying out of the public eye.


The lovebirds have been married for 55 years.

So what's the secret to their everlasting love?

"Find you a partner who will support you like my Carl Dean does!" she wrote in the post's caption.


In a clever merchandise marketing ploy, she even superimposed an image of her T-shirt onto his body in the photo.

But the graphic tee was probably the last thing social media users noticed from the post.

They were crushing on the younger heartthrob with so much ardor you could almost see heart emojis in the eyes of fans.

Parton, who dusted off her Playboy outfit this summer to surprise Dean with a photoshoot for his 79th birthday, told Parade how she was not looking for love when the two met at a laundromat in 1964.

She was 18 at the time.

"I had left two boyfriends at home and the last thing I wanted was a man," recalled the singer.

But fate had other plans.

"I came to Nashville to work on my music. Wouldn't you know I met him the very first day?"
"It was as if God said: This is the man that's going to love and understand you."

On May 6, 2016, she announced they would renew their vows in honor of their 50th wedding anniversary.

"We're really very proud of our marriage. It's the first for both of us. And the last," she said of their union in 2011.

Sigh.

Relationship goals, amirite?

Melania Ripped After Using Event With Freed Israeli Hostages To Promote Her New Documentary

First Lady Melania Trump was criticized after she used an event at the White House with freed Israeli hostages to promote her new documentary Melania, which follows her in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration following the 2024 presidential election.

Amazon MGM paid $40 million for the distribution rights and reportedly poured another $35 million into marketing. The film beat box office predictions to earn more than $7 million over the weekend but will need to generate much more box office to break even.

While the Northeast battled winter weather, the internet was captivated by a Philly-based TikToker documenting how her car turned into what she jokingly described as a Snowmaggedon popsicle.

Last week, Tianna Graham shoveled out her 2016 Honda Civic and drove out after a snowstorm, took it to work, and parked it in the same spot she’d left it before: next to a water main. By the time she returned, her vehicle was completely encased in ice on the 1000 block of North Front Street in Philadelphia’s Fishtown neighborhood.

When a person becomes a parent, much more will change in their life than they anticipated.

But that transition can be especially hard when a person feels like they're losing themselves to their role as a mom or dad—and that feeling is made even worse when their partner hyper-fixates on their new role.
