    You know I've never even seen her husband of many decades mentioned until now!

      That's because you're British.

          I don't think that's why. I never saw her husband mentioned either, maybe once around the time that he passed away, and then again now as her passing has led to many articles about her.

          They were very private, so it's not surprising that @andyd and others (me) never saw Dolly's husband mentioned.

              Curiosity...
              Googling/image finds only the couple aged 30ish.
              I found his name, then his 2025 obituaries; no photo on the BBC website! but The Sun ran with a photo of them from 2017.

                  You can find YouTube interviews where she talks about him if you want to know more.

                    The legendary voice of Dolly Parton is back for one last rodeo, months after her death.

                    U2 released their 16th studio album Friday, “Carnaval de Luz” (“Carnival of Light”), which ends with the song “Torn,” a duet between the Irish rock band’s lead singer, Bono, and Parton.

                      There's almost certainly even more unreleased material.

                      Incidentally, apparently she was a great businesswoman. She said she had observed men all her life and learned business, and she never let herself be taken advantage of, and never compromised.

                      She said Elvis wanted to sing I Will Always Love you but she refused him cold because she wouldn't give up the publishing rights.

                      She said her songs were like her children, and in fact she protect them and herself.

                      I didn't realize I was such a big fan time back. I was just a fan. But I came to be big fan.

                      Loved her personality, her music, her beauty, her humanity, and rare for me there wasn't anything I didn't like about her.

                      RIP
