Pink Addresses Separation Reports, Calls Claims ‘Fake News’
Reports surfaced on February 26, 2026, alleging a split between singer Pink and her husband, Carey Hart, after 20 years of marriage. Pink swiftly addressed the rumors via an Instagram post, calling the reports “fake news” and questioning the priorities of the media.
Initial Reports and Pink’s Response
People magazine and Us Weekly initially reported the separation, citing an unnamed source. Pink responded to the reports in a video posted to Instagram, expressing surprise at the news. “I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband. I didn’t know,” she stated, thanking the publications for informing her. She also questioned why the media hadn’t contacted her children, aged 14 and 9, before publishing the story.
A History of Reconciliation
Pink and Carey Hart’s relationship has faced challenges in the past. The couple initially separated in 2003, but reconciled and became engaged in 2005. They married in Costa Rica in 2006. They briefly separated again in 2008, an event that inspired Pink’s hit song “So What,” with Hart even appearing in the music video. The couple ultimately sought marriage counseling and reconciled in 2009.
Pink’s Critique of Media Focus
Beyond dismissing the separation reports, Pink used the opportunity to criticize the media’s focus on celebrity gossip. She suggested that attention should be directed towards more essential issues, such as the Epstein files, systemic racism, misogyny in sports, and the achievements of female athletes. She also highlighted her recent nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
“Fake News” and a Call for Better Reporting
Pink emphatically stated, “So fake news, not true.” She expressed her frustration with the term “fake news” and urged news outlets to improve their reporting standards. She concluded her message with, “I love you all, go with God, and trash news, you can do better.”
As of February 27, 2026, Pink and Carey Hart have not issued any further statements regarding their relationship status.
