<p>When Rather asked if anything "romantic" ever happened with Parton, Rogers replied:</p>
<p>"I am telling you from the bottom of my heart. I met her husband, first of all. and I was married to Marianne through that whole time. But what we did, is we flirted with each other for thirty years and it was much more electric. I think once you consummate a relationship like that it loses something. And she and I both believe that theory."</p>
<p>"So we did some massive flirting in front of the nation, but there was never anything more than that," he added.</p>
