Reba McEntire
Never met her friend’s husband?
That’s definitely different…
Of course, Dolly Parton and Reba have been friends for decades, and a few years ago, they recorded a song for the very first time together as a new rendition of Reba’s 1993 duet with Linda Davis, “Does He Love You.”
It’s well known that Dolly only communicates via fax, which Reba and even Dolly’s goddaughter Miley Cyrus have talked about before, but apparently she’s even more private than we thought.
Reba has been out doing tons of press for her new sitcom Happy’s Place, and during an interview on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live show, Andy of course wanted to get the details about how good Dolly’s cooking really is (she just released a new cookbook with her sister Rachel, and has a baking line with Duncan Hines), but Reba couldn’t tell him much.
Apparently, Reba has never been to Dolly’s house or tried her food, and told him she’s never even been invited over. She also said she’s never met Dolly’s longtime husband Carl Dean, which Andy joked:
“But people really do swear he exists.”
Dolly is famously private when it comes to Carl, who has rarely ever been seen in photographs, let alone at any public events (he went to one and hated it). This year, they celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary, and Dolly talks a lot about him in interviews, but we just don’t ever see them.
Well, we saw the back of his head in the video where she recreated her iconic 1978 Playboy cover for him for his birthday, but I digress…
Honestly, when you’re as famous as Dolly is with a spouse who isn’t interested in being in the public eye, it’s understandable that they keep their marriage private, but I’ve always found it strange that we don’t even really know what he looks like.
It’s even more odd that her own friends haven’t met him, but to each their own… the ever-humble Reba also joked that she was surprised that Andy hadn’t met him or been to Dolly’s house because he’s “famous”:
“I saw something they were out camping, she and Carl went back to where they got married. Absolutely, well I feel better that you haven’t met him now. You’re famous.”
He obviously told her she was extremely famous herself, calling her the “queen of country,” and Reba replied:
“In my own mind.”
Reba’s always so funny and engaging, I think she’d make a great dinner guest if Dolly wants to finally make her some biscuits or chicken and dumplings…
