Pop superstar Pink has officially debunked reports claiming she and her husband of nearly 20 years, Carey Hart, have separated. The singer took to social media on Thursday, Feb. 26, 2026, to directly address a viral report, labeling the claims as “fake news” and confirming that the couple remains together.
The clarification follows a brief wave of speculation ignited by a source-based report. Pink, 46, utilized her Instagram platform to reassure fans and clarify the status of her marriage to the 50-year-old former motocross professional.
A Swift Rebuttal to “Fake News”
In a video shared with her millions of followers, Pink (born Alecia Moore) responded to the rumors with her signature bluntness and wit.
“So I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband,” she stated in the video. “I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know. Would you also like to tell our children? My 14- and 9-year-old are also unaware.”
The “Trustfall” singer, currently a nominee for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, expressed frustration over the media’s focus on her personal life over her professional milestones.
“Do you want to talk about my accomplishments or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?” she asked. “So fake news, not true. I love you all.”

Two Decades of Public Resilience
Pink and Hart’s relationship has been one of the most transparent in the entertainment industry. The couple met at the 2001 Summer X Games and married in Costa Rica in January 2006.
Their history includes a well-documented separation in 2008, which famously inspired Pink’s chart-topping single “So What.” However, the pair reconciled in 2009 after undergoing intensive counseling—a tool Pink has frequently advocated for in interviews.
- 2001: Couple meets in Philadelphia.
- 2006: Wedding held in Costa Rica.
- 2008: First public separation announced.
- 2009: Reconciliation and rebuilding of the marriage.
- 2026: Pink denies new separation rumors.
The “Work” of a Long-Term Marriage
The singer has long been vocal about the effort required to maintain a high-profile marriage while raising two children, Willow Sage, 14, and Jameson Moon, 9. In previous interviews, she noted that the couple utilizes both individual and marriage therapy to navigate their “independent to a fault” personalities.
“I don’t want to break up my family,” Pink told PEOPLE in 2021. “That’s been my main goal, since I had a broken family… You have to end up fixing yourself; you can’t fix the other person.”
As of Thursday afternoon, representatives for Carey Hart have not issued a formal statement, though Pink’s direct dismissal appears to have quelled the immediate firestorm.
