“He’s always supporting me as long as I don’t try to drag him in on it,” Parton told People in 2019 at the premiere of her Netflix series, “Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings.”
“He’s always been my biggest fan behind the scenes, but he’s at home. I don’t think they’re probably showing much of this on TV, and if they do, he might see it.
“But, anyway, he’d never come dragging around. I’d rather bring somebody else with me, you know? He’s never jealous of that either.”
