Pink addressed unfounded reports of her separation from husband Carey Hart in a sarcastic Instagram video on February 26, 2026. The singer dismissed the rumors as fake news and urged the media to focus on more substantial topics. She highlighted her recent nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a preferable subject.
Pink, a three-time Grammy-winning artist, used Instagram on Thursday, February 26, 2026, to refute rumors circulating that day about her splitting from husband Carey Hart after 20 years of marriage. In a video posted from her kitchen, she quipped, “I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband — I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know. I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware.”
The reports, attributed to an unnamed source and published by outlets like People magazine and Us Weekly, prompted Pink to call them “fake news” and “trash news you can do better.” Instead, she suggested discussing “real news,” such as the Epstein files, systemic racism or misogyny in sports, the classiness of the women’s hockey team, or the fact that eight of the 12 U.S. Olympic medals that year were won by women. She also pointed to her career milestone: “Do you want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock and Roll motherfucking Hall of Fame?”
Pink and Hart, a former motocross racer, met at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia and began dating that year. They married in 2006 in Costa Rica, separated amicably in 2008, and reconciled in 2009. Their children are Willow, born in 2011, and Jameson, born in 2016. In January 2025, celebrating their 19th anniversary, Pink wrote, “I’ve been with you longer than I haven’t. You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written. It is gritty and sweet.” Hart, in a 2023 interview, noted their 21 years together and his resilience to her songs about him.
Pink was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2026 in her first eligible year, alongside artists like Mariah Carey, Oasis, Shakira, and the Wu-Tang Clan. Inductees will be announced in April, with the ceremony in the fall. The day before her rumor response, she celebrated the nomination, stating, “This nomination isn’t mine; it’s ours. It’s for every one of us who ever felt like an outsider or underdog and found something in this music that made them feel less alone.” Her last album, Trustfall, released in 2023, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
