Pink Responds to Viral Breakup Rumors: There Past Splits Explained
On February 26, the rumor mill kicked into hyperdrive when People and several other outlets reported that Pink and her longtime partner, Carey Hart, had called it quits. The information, from a reported insider, appeared to quickly overshadow Pink’s big career news. Within hours, though, the rumors were extinguished. Pink took to Instagram to swat down breakup chatter, insisting all was well in the Hart family. While Pink claims there is no split in the works, it’s understandable why fans might believe the news; after all, the duo has split before. Let’s take a look back at their past separations.
Pink and Carey Heart broke up when they were just dating
Pink and Hart met in 2001 at the Summer X Games in Philadelphia. They began dating relatively quickly, but the romance was a bit off-and-on. The pair split in 2003 after around two years of dating. At the time, they did not provide a reason for the breakup, though fans largely assumed their conflicting schedules and age played a role in their decision to part ways.
At the time, Pink was just 24 and had launched her Try This tour, which included nearly 50 concerts. She also performed at multiple awards shows that year. Hart, then 28, was expanding his career into film and TV, too. He also suffered a horrific crash during a motocross tour that broke both of his arms and legs. The split didn’t last long; they announced their engagement in 2005 and married the following year.
They announced a split two years into their marriage, too
The wedding didn’t lead to a happily ever after for Carey Hart and Pink, at least not right away or in the traditional sense. While the duo wed in 2006, they announced their plan to split in 2008. According to Bustle, Pink addressed her fans directly on her website with a separation announcement. She revealed that their decision to part ways had nothing to do with cheating, fighting, or arguments. She insisted that she and Hart were best friends and planned to remain so as they moved forward with a divorce.
While separated, the pair did remain close. Hart appeared in a music video with his then-estranged wife. In 2009, they decided that their friends-first approach could lead to a good marriage. They withdrew from the divorce process and got back together. In 2011, they welcomed their first child, Willow, together. In 2016, their son, Jameson, was born.
The pair has admitted to rough patches over the years.
Carey Hart and Pink have an admirable marriage, claim some fans. While the pair haven’t had the smoothest relationship, they appear dedicated to making it work. The relatable nature of their ups and downs has endeared them to fans. Still, Pink and Hart might have more chaotic ups and downs than most.
While the pair have not separated again since their 2008 legal split, they have both admitted to experiencing ups and downs in their marriage. Pink once revealed she tried to slash Hart’s tires after an argument. She more recently revealed that she and Hart “almost didn’t make it” through 2023, but failed to elaborate further. Things have been going fine since, it seems. At the very least, that’s what Pink says. She’s always been honest about her romance before, so we are inclined to believe her. The split rumors have been debunked.
