“I think I’ve talked pretty much about everything through the years with Carl, and we’re different people… But we just work so well together,” she expressed to “Entertainment Tonight.”
“He’s kind of a loner, so he doesn’t really like being with anybody but me… he’s not one to kind of get out there and socialize that much. He loves living on the farm, taking care of the property as he has for all these many years, and then, we just have a lot to talk about,” Parton added.

Like any relationship, they’ve had a few highs and lows, but the singer-songwriter revealed a good laugh keeps the spark alive.
