Pop superstar Pink has delivered a blistering response to rumors suggesting her 20-year marriage to Carey Hart has ended, dismissing the reports as "fake news" and calling for media to focus on more substantial stories.
Direct Denial from the Source
In a candid video shared with fans, the Grammy-winning artist addressed swirling speculation about her personal life head-on. "So, I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband," Pink stated with characteristic directness. "I didn't know." The singer went on to sarcastically thank news outlets for "letting me know" about this supposed development in her own marriage.
Family Matters and Media Criticism
Pink highlighted how the rumors had even failed to reach her own children, quipping: "I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and nine-year-old are also unaware." The singer, whose real name is Alecia Moore, then pivoted to broader media criticism, questioning why publications would focus on unsubstantiated relationship rumors rather than more pressing societal issues.
"Or do you want to talk about some real news?" she challenged. "Do you wanna talk about the Epstein files? Do you wanna talk about systemic racism or misogyny in sports? Or how classy the women's hockey team is, or how eight of the 12 medals won in the Olympics this year for the US were won by women?"
Celebrating Actual Accomplishments
The "Raise Your Glass" singer pointed to her own significant career milestone as a more worthy topic of discussion. "Or do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock & Roll mother***ing Hall of Fame?" she asked pointedly. "Do you want to talk about my accomplishments, or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?"
A History of Honest Relationship Discussion
This isn't the first time Pink has spoken candidly about her marriage's complexities. In 2025, she offered an honest assessment of their relationship on their anniversary, writing: "You've been my one constant. You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written."
The couple's relationship has weathered significant challenges before. After meeting at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia and marrying in Costa Rica in January 2006, they separated two years later before reconciling in 2009 and calling off their divorce. Carey Hart told People at the time: "We're rebuilding. Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward."
The Work Behind Long-Term Commitment
Pink has been transparent about the effort required to maintain their marriage, revealing that therapy played a crucial role in their reconciliation. "Long-term relationships are not easy," she told People in 2021 as they celebrated their 15th anniversary. "It is much easier to stay in the solid days and jump from relationship to relationship, because then you don't have to fix the problems that keep recurring."
The singer emphasized the importance of personal growth within a partnership, noting: "You have to end up fixing yourself; you can't fix the other person. So it can be challenging, and there's good days and there's bad days." She also revealed that she had adjusted her expectations before reuniting with Hart, stating her primary goal was not to "break up my family."
Professional Recognition Amid Personal Speculation
The timing of these rumors coincides with significant professional recognition for Pink. She recently made the nominees list for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, becoming eligible 25 years after releasing her debut single "There You Go" in January 2000. She joins an impressive list of nominees including Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Shakira, Jeff Buckley, Lauryn Hill, and Wu-Tang Clan.
In her video conclusion, Pink delivered a final message to media outlets spreading what she called "trash news": "Fake news, not true. I love you all, go with God. And trash news, you can do better." The singer's forceful denial and broader critique of media priorities highlight ongoing tensions between celebrity privacy and public curiosity.
