Pink Dismisses Separation Reports as 'Fake News' in Candid Instagram Video
Grammy-winning artist Pink has taken to social media to firmly deny widespread rumors suggesting her marriage to former FMX athlete Carey Hart is ending after two decades together. In a video posted on Thursday, the singer directly addressed what she called premature and inaccurate reports circulating in celebrity publications.
Social Media Rebuttal to Tabloid Claims
"So I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband," Pink stated sarcastically in her Instagram video. "I didn't know. Thank you, People magazine. Thank you, Us Weekly. Thank you for letting me know." The singer continued her pointed commentary by questioning whether the publications would also like to inform her children about the supposed separation, noting that her 14-year-old and nine-year-old were equally unaware of any marital troubles.
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, used the platform to redirect attention toward more substantive news topics, suggesting media outlets could focus on "the Epstein files," "systemic racism," "misogyny in sports," or the accomplishments of U.S. women athletes who won eight of twelve American medals at recent Olympic competitions.
Relationship History and Public Revelations
The couple's relationship has experienced notable ups and downs throughout their twenty-year journey together. Pink and Hart first met in 2001 at the X Games in Philadelphia, beginning an on-again, off-again courtship that culminated in Hart's proposal in 2005. Their relationship faced significant challenges early on, with the couple briefly separating before their 2006 Costa Rica wedding, then announcing another separation just two years later in 2008.
Despite these difficulties, the pair maintained an amicable relationship during their 2008 separation, with Hart even appearing in the music video for Pink's single "So What," which was inspired by their temporary divorce proceedings. By spring 2009, they had reconciled and officially called off their divorce, demonstrating their commitment to working through challenges together.
Commitment to Counseling and Family Unity
Pink has been remarkably transparent about the strategies that have helped sustain her marriage through difficult periods. In a 2021 interview with Extra, she revealed that consistent couples therapy has been instrumental in maintaining their relationship. "For us, the answer is there's no quit button," the singer explained. "Unless we find one. Right now, we don't have one."
The artist elaborated on how therapy has helped bridge communication gaps between them: "It's also couples' counselling. Learning how to speak the same language, 'cause we don't speak the same language." She emphasized their shared commitment to family unity, contrasting their approach with their own family backgrounds: "We love being a family. And we both come from families that gave up, and that's OK. That was their journey, that was the journey we all were supposed to be on. But for us, we don't want to do that."
Professional Accomplishments Amid Personal Speculation
During her Instagram rebuttal to separation rumors, Pink also shared significant professional news that had been overshadowed by personal speculation. She revealed that she had been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during her first year of eligibility, a milestone achievement in her celebrated music career. "Do you want to want to talk about my accomplishments or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?" she questioned pointedly before concluding her message.
The singer ended her video with a clear denial of the separation reports: "So, fake news, not true. I love you all. Go with God, and trash news, you can do better. Night night." Her direct approach to addressing rumors reflects her longstanding pattern of candid communication with fans about both her personal life and professional achievements.
The couple, who share two children together, have built a relationship that has weathered multiple public challenges while maintaining their commitment to family and each other. Pink's public denial serves as the latest chapter in their transparent approach to navigating the complexities of marriage in the public eye.
