Pink calls out People and Us Weekly over Carey Hart separation rumors

Pink is directly addressing, and dismissing, reports that she and husband Carey Hart have separated after 20 years of marriage.
The Grammy-winning singer took to Instagram on Feb. 26 to shut down the speculation, calling the breakup claims “fake news” and specifically naming the outlets she says fueled the narrative.
“So I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband,” Pink said in a candid video. “I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know.”
She then sarcastically thanked People and Us Weekly for reporting the alleged split, adding, “Would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware.”

The singer’s pointed response followed articles claiming that she and Hart had quietly ended their relationship. Representatives for the couple have not publicly confirmed any separation.
Pink, 46, and Hart, 50, share two children: Willow, 14, and Jameson, 9. The pair first met at the 2001 X Games and began dating shortly after. In 2005, Pink famously proposed to the former professional motocross racer during one of his races. They tied the knot in Costa Rica in January 2006.
Their marriage has faced public challenges before. In 2008, the couple announced a separation before reconciling in 2009. Over the years, both have spoken openly about the complexities of long-term commitment.
In a 2020 Instagram tribute, Pink reflected on their journey together, writing, “He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together.”
“Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage,” she continued at the time. “It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter… It is a lifetime of coming back to the table.”
Hart has shared similar sentiments. In a 2024 interview, he described communication as the foundation of their relationship, calling marriage “always coming back to the table.”
Speculation about their relationship intensified after Pink shared a reflective New Year’s Eve post revealing she spent the holiday in the hospital awaiting neck surgery while her family went snowboarding. She described 2025 as “a doozy,” writing that the year ranged “from absolutely devastating to mildly annoying,” but also expressed optimism for 2026.
For now, Pink’s public denial, and her direct call-out of the publications involved, appears to firmly push back against the rumor mill, making it clear she is not aware of any split from her husband.
