Pink Denies Divorce Rumors and Criticizes Media for Spreading False Reports
Pop icon Pink has forcefully shut down widespread rumors suggesting she is divorcing her husband of two decades, Carey Hart. The singer took to Instagram on Friday morning to post a video directly addressing the speculation, emphatically stating that the claims are "not true" and condemning what she called "fake news."
Setting the Record Straight on Social Media
In the lengthy clip, Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, sarcastically thanked publications like People magazine and US Weekly for alerting her to the alleged separation. "I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband ... I didn't know," she said, adding, "Thank you for letting me know, I was wondering, would you like to also tell my children?" The couple shares two children: Willow, 14, and Jameson Moon, 9.
This is not the first time Pink and Hart have faced marital challenges. They previously separated in 2008, just two years after their romantic beachside wedding in Costa Rica, but reconciled a year later. While Pink has been open about the ups and downs in their relationship, she insisted that the recent reports of a second divorce are completely unfounded.
Calling for More Substantive Media Coverage
After dismissing the rumors, Pink pointedly suggested that media outlets should focus on more pressing global issues rather than her personal life. She listed topics such as the Epstein files, systemic racism, and misogyny in sports, questioning why her "supposed demise" was being prioritized over her accomplishments or these critical matters. "So fake news, not true — I f***ing hate that term," she declared, concluding with, "I love you all, go with God and trash news, you can do better."
In the caption accompanying the video, Pink reiterated her stance, writing, "Like I always say. If you don't hear it from me, don't believe the hype. Stay tuned though! Who knows what could happen next!?!" This statement underscores her direct approach to addressing rumors and her commitment to transparency with her fans.
Background on Pink and Carey Hart's Relationship
The couple first met at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia, an extreme sporting event produced by ESPN. They dated intermittently before Hart proposed in 2005, leading to their marriage in 2006. Despite their 2008 separation, they remained amicable, with Hart even appearing in Pink's music video for her hit single "So What." By 2009, they had reconciled and called off the divorce, with Hart telling People at the time, "We're rebuilding. Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward."
The recent rumors originated from a People magazine article citing an anonymous source claiming the couple had separated after 20 years of marriage. However, Pink's video directly refuted this report, reaffirming the strength of their bond and highlighting her frustration with sensationalist media practices.
