Pink dismisses rumors of separation from husband Carey Hart as ‘fake news’

Pop star Pink has vehemently denied reports that she has separated from her husband, former professional motocross racer Carey Hart, dismissing the claims as "fake news."

The rumors originated from People magazine, which cited an unnamed source in an exclusive report titled, "Pink Separates from Carey Hart for Second Time After 20 Years of Marriage: Source (Exclusive)."

Shortly after the story broke, the “Just Give Me A Reason” singer took to her official Instagram account to address the speculation directly. In a video, she sarcastically thanked the publications for the "alert."

"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 stated in the clip. "I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware. Or do you want to talk about some real news?"

People updated its story to acknowledge the Instagram denial. Its story said Pink's representatives declined comment, and Hart's did not respond.

In the Instagram video, the “So What” singer listed a few current topics of conversation, including the Epstein files and the results of the 2026 Olympics, or the fact that she was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

A representative for Pink directed The Associated Press back to Pink's Instagram video without additional comment. A representative for People did not immediately answer an email seeking comment.

Pink, born Alecia Moore, met Carey Hart at the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia. The couple had an on-and-off relationship until they got engaged in 2005. The two tied the knot in Costa Rica in 2006.

The couple separated in 2008 and announced their reconciliation in 2009. They have two children: Willow Sage Hart, 14, and Jameson Moon Hart, 9.
