Dolly Parton children: The real reason Dolly Parton and her husband have not had children
Dolly Parton is known as the “fairy godmother” to her goddaughter Miley Cyrus. As well as this, she has spoken out about having nieces and nephews running around her a great deal, which brings her joy. However, she has opened up about the reasons why she and her husband have not had children of their own.

She has opened up on this a few times in interviews, and it seems there have been health and professional issues preventing the couple from having their own kids.
Speaking to The Guardian about not having children in 2014, Parton said: “If we’d had a girl, she was gonna be called Carla… Anyway, we talked about it, and we dreamed it, but it wasn’t meant to be.
