Dolly Parton does not have any biological children. However, she has been married to Carl Dean since 1966. While she does not have children of her own, Dolly is deeply involved in the lives of her younger siblings, nieces, and nephews, often referring to herself as the “Book Lady” due to her literacy program, the Imagination Library, which gifts books to children from birth until they begin school.
Over the years, there has been much speculation and curiosity about her decision not to have children, but Dolly has addressed this topic in various interviews. She has expressed contentment with her life choices and mentioned that if she had children, she might not have been able to pursue her career with the same intensity.
