Pink posts Instagram denial, lists other topics
In the video, the singer recited her surprise at the claim and singled out media outlets by name: "I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know. Thank you People Magazine. Thank you US Weekly. Thank you for letting me know, " she said, then asked whether the outlets planned to tell their children — noting her 14-year-old and 9-year-old were "also unaware. " She added other subjects for public debate in the clip, including the Epstein files, the results of the 2026 Olympics and her nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
How the split story began
People first published a story based on an unnamed source Thursday under the headline, "Pink Separates from Carey Hart for Second Time After 20 Years of Marriage: Source (Exclusive). " People later updated its story to acknowledge the Instagram denial; the story said Pink's representatives declined comment, and Hart's did not respond.
Couple’s history and family details
Pink and Hart wed in January 2006 after having been on and off since 2003, and the pair separated in 2008 before reuniting shortly thereafter. They share two children: daughter Willow Sage Hart, born in June 2011 and now 14, and son Jameson Moon Hart, 9.
Parenting moments and public controversies
The couple have shared aspects of family life publicly over the years. Pink stepped back from the spotlight in 2020 to spend more time with the children and has taken them on tour; she and Willow released the song "Cover Me in Sunshine" in 2021 and performed it together. Willow joined Pink onstage to sing on opening night of the 2023 Summer Carnival Tour, and the pair performed a rendition of Pink's 2017 track "What About Us" at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Pink revealed Willow's impending sibling with an Instagram baby bump debut in November 2016 captioned "Surprise!"
Incidents involving extreme sports and parental defenses
The couple's son has shown interest in extreme sports such as dirt biking and skateboarding, a detail that drew public attention in 2018 when Carey Hart faced criticism over a photo of the toddler on a dirt bike. Pink responded to critics with a blunt reply: "God bless your perfect path. I have no interest in that myself. However, do check in from time to time to let us all know what other teachings you may have for us, oh perfect f–king stranger. " She has also defended other parenting choices, including their son's circumcision and their daughter's shooting lessons.
Responses from representatives and the next steps
A representative for Pink directed The back to Pink's Instagram video without additional comment, and a representative for People did not immediately answer an email seeking comment. Pink's Instagram message included the blunt line, "Fake news, not true. I f–king hate that term! I love you all. Go with God, and trash news, you can do better. "
It is unclear in the provided context what, if any, next statements or public appearances Pink or Carey Hart plan, or whether either will issue further comment beyond the Instagram video and the updates noted above.
