Pink Denies Split After Tabloid Claims, Calls Reports 'Trash News'

pink pushed back on tabloid claims on Feb. 26, 2026, denying that she and husband Carey Hart had separated after 20 years of marriage and telling followers, "If you don’t hear it from me, don’t believe the hype. "

How the separation story spread

People published an exclusive Thursday afternoon that P!nk and Carey Hart had decided to separate for a second time, citing a brief split in 2008 and describing the decision as amicable. Us Weekly echoed the story soon after, and outlets including E! News and Page Six picked it up, sending the item across X and Instagram by evening.

The tabloid accounts said the anonymous source described a plan to co-parent their two children, Willow Sage, 14, and Jameson Moon, 9, and to remain friends. Fans and social feeds quickly buzzed with debate and shares as the reports circulated.

Pink's Instagram reply from her kitchen

P!nk posted a selfie reel from her kitchen on Feb. 26 denying the rumors and calling the coverage "fake news" and "trash news. " In the video, she said, "So I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know, " and then thanked People and Us Weekly, joking about being informed by tabloids.

She told viewers, "Would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware, " and urged a shift toward what she called real topics: the Epstein files, systemic racism, misogyny in sports and the strong performance by U. S. women at the 2026 Olympics. She also highlighted her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination, noting it came the first year she was eligible.

The selfie contains strong language and ends with her saying, "I love you all, go with God... and trash news, you can do better. Night night. " Her caption repeated the line, "Like I always say. If you don’t hear it from me, don’t believe the hype. Stay tuned though! Who knows what could happen next!?!" The post quickly racked up millions of views.

The couple's 20-year history

P!nk and Hart first met at the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia, when she was rising as a pop star and he was a professional motocross racer. She proposed in 2005 during one of his races with a sign that read "Will you marry me?" and they married in Costa Rica in 2006 with close friends in attendance.

The pair have broken up before: once in 2003 before their engagement, and again in 2008; they reunited a year later. The couple share daughter Willow, 14, and son Jameson, 9, and have been married for 20 years.

In a 2013 Redbook recollection, P!nk said Hart invited her to perform at his Las Vegas club on New Year's Eve; she gave him a photo album filled with cards he had given her. On the last page she pasted a photo from a bad movie with her neck slit and blood everywhere and wrote, "This is me without you. " The next page showed a picture of a baby with the words, "The rest is unwritten, " and she said the divorce papers they never signed were tucked behind that page. She told him, "The rest is up to you. " P!nk has also said her song "So What" helped bring them back together and told the Los Angeles Times in October 2023 that the song played a role, while telling in 2019, "Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it’s good again. "

What's next

The immediate outcome: the tabloid story went viral and P!nk's Instagram reply drew millions of views and widespread attention on social platforms. Her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination for the 2026 class remains a confirmed milestone referenced in her video and caption. Beyond that nomination and her public denial on Feb. 26, 2026, the couple's plans are unclear in the provided context.
