Bob Dylan’s “secret” daughter will be marrying her female partner next August but the legendary Jewish American musician is not expected to attend the event.
Desiree “Desi” Dennis-Dylan is the singer-songwriter’s sixth child from a second marriage. According to the New York Daily News, Dennis-Dylan’s existence was kept a secret for 15 years.
Her future mother-in-law expressed skepticism over whether or not Dylan would show up to walk his daughter down the aisle, according to the report.
“Of course he’s invited, but he’s just not going to go. He didn’t say that, but that’s what we are assuming,” said Jolene Sampson.
Dylan appeared in Israel for the first time in 20 years in June, 2011. He played a sold-out show at Ramat Gan Stadium.
