Pink posts cheeky kitchen video on Instagram
In the clip posted Thursday (Feb. 26) on Instagram, she walks around her kitchen and opens by saying, "I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband — I didn’t know, " then sticks her tongue out. She asks, rhetorically, "Would you also like to tell our children?" and closes by calling the reports "Fake news, not true, " adding, "Trash news, you can do better. Night night!"
She pointed to bigger headlines
During the video, Pink pivoted from the gossip to larger items she felt mattered, listing the Epstein files, systemic racism and the standout feats of female athletes at this year's Olympics. She also name-checked her own milestone, saying, "I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock & Roll motherf—in' Hall of Fame?"
How their two-decade relationship unfolded
The reports that Pink and Hart had called it quits began circulating Thursday (Feb. 26), citing an unnamed source. The singer and the former motocross competitor first started dating in 2001 after meeting at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia. Four years later they got engaged before marrying in 2006 in a ceremony in Costa Rica. Two years after that, the couple separated amicably before getting back together in 2009.
Family life: Willow, Jameson and public anniversaries
Pink and Hart have two children: their daughter Willow, welcomed in 2011, and Jameson, born in 2016. In January 2025, Pink marked their 19th wedding anniversary on Instagram, writing, "I’ve been with you longer than I haven’t... You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written. It is gritty and sweet. Thank you for being by my side all these years. I love you forever. "
Hart, past comments and recent public posts
Hart told Kelly Clarkson in 2023, "We’ve been together for 21 years... I have very thick skin, so very little affects me. " This past year, Pink posted about Hart a few times on Instagram, including on his birthday in July when she shared a photo of him posing with their kids and a handwritten list of 50 reasons why she loves him.
Health scare, recent music and a Hall of Fame nod
On New Year's Eve, Pink shared a selfie from a hospital bed and revealed she’d suffered a neck injury while reflecting on her 2025 year. She wrote, "I said goodbye to incredibly important people, and I said hello to new ones. I’ve realized dreams this year, as well as nightmares … Let’s not be afraid to take care of ourselves and others. I choose joy and I leave behind the hurt. I’m going to choose positive thoughts over negative ones. "
Pink last released music in 2023 with the album Trustfall, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became her ninth top-10 entry on the chart. She was also recently nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the first year she was eligible for induction; she is one of 17 nominees in 2026, a list that includes Mariah Carey, Oasis, the Wu-Tang Clan and Shakira.
Pink's Instagram video ended by dismissing the split claims and inviting readers to focus on other stories; the clip is publicly available on her Instagram page. The immediate aftermath is a continued public denial from Pink, and the next confirmed item on her calendar is her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination for 2026.
