Country music legend Dolly Parton, 77, recently revealed she’s retiring from touring but remains committed to creating music. In an interview, she stated, “I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore.” Despite her decision, Parton plans occasional special shows and festivals. The iconic singer, who rose from poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, emphasizes her focus on spending quality time with her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, after 50 years of marriage.
Parton shares insights into her life, revealing how she met Dean outside a laundromat in 1964. The couple married in 1966, celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2016, and recently renewed their vows. Parton expresses the importance of staying close to home as they age.
She also discloses her venture into rock ‘n’ roll, inspired by her husband’s musical taste, and discusses her NBC special, “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic holiday.” Additionally, Parton collaborates with Reese Witherspoon on the film “Run, Rose, Run,” adapted from her novel co-written with James Patterson.
Pierce Brosnan Celebrates 23 Years of Marriage With Wife Keely, Who Shares a Heartfelt Tribute
Keely Shaye Smith and Pierce Brosnan’s love story has spanned three decades, beginning with their fateful meeting in Mexico in 1994. As they celebrate 23 years of marriage, Keely shares heartfelt reflections on their journey on her Instagram.
Keely, 60, celebrated the special occasion by sharing a post on Instagram.
She posted a series of photos from her wedding to Pierce, 71, starting her caption by noting their marriage date in 2001 and the location where they tied the knot, “August 4th, 2001, Ashford Castle, County Mayo, Ireland.”
“✨ ’You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest person I have ever known.’ FSF ✨ Happy Anniversary my love @piercebrosnanofficial ✨,” Keely continued.
Keely first met the James Bond star in 1994 at a party in Mexico, where she was on assignment as a TV correspondent.
In a 2001 interview, she described her first impression of the actor as “tall, dark, and handsome—everything that everybody would immediately be attracted to.” “He had this mischievous sparkle in his eyes. I thought, ’Wow! Wow!’” she added.
A few days later, they had their first date under the stars, staying up and talking until 3 a.m. “There were fireworks going off over our heads,” Keely remembered.
Marking 30 years since they met in Mexico, Keely wrote on Instagram earlier this year, “How could I have known as I walked around the corner and into your life that my destiny was about to change forever?”
She added, “Thanking my lucky stars that I had the courage to introduce myself to you and forever grateful for the connection and family we share 3 decades later.”
Before meeting Keely Shaye Smith, Pierce Brosnan was married to actress Cassandra Harris. They wed in 1980, had a son named Sean, and Pierce adopted her two children. Sadly, Cassandra passed away from ovarian cancer in 1991.
