SINGER-ACTOR Kenny Rogers was one of the most beloved and clean-cut entertainers in the world, but he had a shocking hidden life — including close ties with country queens along with a slew of secret passions — he hid from his millions of fans!
GLOBE can now reveal the 81-year-old Gambler crooner — a father of five with four of his five wives who died March 20 after years of health woes — was super close to Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.
Another mind-boggling fact: His best pal was a goat!
Many say his and Dolly’s bonding also led to the bedroom, which they both denied.
Still, the 74-year-old Jolene singer was devastated by his death, sobbing:
“I loved Kenny with all my heart. My heart’s broken, and a big ol’ chunk of it has gone with him today.”
The pair toured through the ’80s and ’90s, but one of Kenny’s most amazing secrets was that he initially hated the hit song Islands in the Stream that became their anthem!
Written for him by Barry Gibb, he told the Bee Gee after several rehearsals: “Barry, I don’t even like this song anymore!”
