Inside Pink and Carey Hart's Wild Love Story

Pink Speaks Out Amid Carey Hart Breakup Rumors

To hear Pink tell it, right from the start husband Carey Hart was a thief, he stole her heart. And she was certainly a willing victim. 

"He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together," the "Just Give Me a Reason" singer detailed in a 2020 Instagram post. "Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter. It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself. It is a lifetime of coming back to the table."

And despite two signficant splits, the pair—who marked 20 years of marriage Jan. 7—kept claiming seats beside one another. 

The key, former motocross racer shared in December 2024 was "communication, having a teammate [and] talking through bad situations," as he explained to Us Weekly, before echoing his bride's take nearly word for word.

"Marriage isn't easy," he stressed, "and it's always coming back to the table."

And so the duo—parents to daughter Willow, 14, and Jameson, 9—didn't take reports that they'd split sitting down.

What followed was four years of back-and-forth that saw them, as Pink put it in one anniversary post, "deciding if we were going to live together forever or kill each other."

At some point their issues got so bad it led to what the singer labeled her dumbest injury ever, a moment, as she described on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, that saw her take her anger out on the tires of his Ford truck. 

"I got clean through the first one," she shared of the Thanksgiving fight. "He has a raised F-250 and those tires are very thick, thank you very much. And the second one, I lost a little steam and I hit the metal part and my hand just went straight down the knife."

Despite a yearlong separation, their love continued to cut deep, with Pink proposing during a 2005 race. As Hart approached her on his third lap, she held up the pit board she'd snagged to write out her message: "Will U Marry Me?" When he didn't answer, she added an addendum for lap four: "Serious!" 

He shared his response in a 2014 Supercross interview. "I said, 'Well, yeah of course,'" he recalled, "and she said, 'Well, get your ass back on the track. I don't marry losers." 

Six months later, on Jan. 7, 2006, they formally committed during a sunset ceremony at the Four Seasons resort in Costa Rica. 

The artist surprised even herself by being the parent who makes Rice Krispies treats for bake sales and takes the lead when it comes to discipline. 

"My husband promised me that I wouldn't be bad cop, and he has failed me in that way," she joked to People when gracing the cover of their "Most Beautiful" issue in 2018. "He's fun guy, Mr. Fun! And then I come in with the rules." 

But he's also the guy who will take to Instagram to brag on their journey and thank "my amazing wife and nurse" for being his "rock" as he healed from his 2020 rotator cuff surgery.

And when everything is less than amazing between them, he's willing to admit his role.  

"He knows when he goes too far and he'll apologize, which is a wonderful trait in a human being," she told USA Today in 2017. "I do not possess that trait: I will go too far and still not apologize. It's awful to be married to me. He's the rock and I'm the storm, but it's fun."

Close enough to turn her tours into family vacations and strong enough to withstand a particularly nasty bout with the coronavirus, she joked to E!'s Justin Sylvester that they made it through the pandemic taking it "day by day."

Their union worked because they consistently picked one another. "I just happen to have a wonderful man by my side," she detailed. "But I don't—neither one of us need each other. We choose each other." 

Still, there were times in their union when forever felt like an awfully long time. 

"There are moments where I look at [Hart] and he is the most thoughtful, logical, constant...he's like a rock. He's a good man. He's a good dad. He's just the kind of dad I thought he'd be and then some," she shared with The Guardian. "And then I'll look at him and go: I've never liked you. There's nothing I like about you. We have nothing in common. I don't like any of the s--t you like. I don't ever wanna see you again."

As with most problems, time has proven to be the cure-all.

"Two weeks later I'm like, things are going so good, you guys," Pink acknowledged. "Then you'll go through times when you haven't had sex in a year. Is this bed death? Is this the end of it? Do I want him? Does he want me? Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it's good again."

And for more than 20 years, the pair have been enjoying the journey, bumps and all. Take a look back at their wild ride.
