Pink shuts down Carey Hart divorce rumors, jokes she 'didn't know'

Pink is refuting rumors that she and her husband, "The Surreal Life" alum Carey Hart, are divorcing.

On Thursday, Feb. 26, People reported that the pair was calling it quits for a second time after 20 years of marriage, citing anonymous sources. USA TODAY reached out to representatives for the couple for further details, and shortly after news broke, Pink called their separation "fake news" on social media.

"So I was just alerted to the fact that I'm separated from my husband. I didn't know. Thank you, People magazine. Thank you, US Weekly. Thank you for letting me know," the pop-rock star said in an Instagram video, calling out both outlets. "I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware."

The "So What" singer criticized the reports delving into her marriage, the day after she was named among the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees.

"Do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock & Roll (expletive) Hall of Fame? Do you want to talk about my accomplishments, or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?" she said.

The Grammy-winning musician clarified that the reports were not true and "fake news."

She also urged the press to cover other topics, listing the Department of Justice's release of files in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, systemic racism and misogyny in sports.

"I love you all. Go with God and trash news, you can do better," she said.

Carey Hart and Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, were first married in January 2006 and separated two years later. The pair later called off their divorce in 2009 and currently share a 14-year-old daughter, Willow Sage, and a 9-year-old son, Jameson Moon.

The video comes after Pink was nominated for induction into the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside artists including Lauryn Hill, Billy Idol, Wu-Tang Clan and Shakira. The induction ceremony will take place in the fall, with more details to be announced later.
