Pink has blasted ‘fake news’ and denied reports that she has separated from her husband.

The Cover Me in Sunshine hitmaker shared a video with fans in which she addressed rumours that she and Carey Hart – with whom she has Willow, 14, and nine-year-old Jameson – had split after 20 years of marriage.

She also quipped that she was unaware of the upheaval in her personal life until she read the news online.

She captioned her post: ‘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!?!’

In the video, Pink said: ‘So, I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband. I didn’t know.’

She went on to thank news outlets reporting it for ‘letting me know’.

‘I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children, my 14-year-old and nine-year-old are also unaware,’ she added.

Pink then suggested the media focus on other more pressing news topics than her and Carey’s marriage, including her own accomplishments.

The Raise Your Glass singer continued: ‘Or do you want to talk about some real news? Do you wanna talk about the Epstein files?  Do you wanna talk about systemic racism or misogyny in sports?

‘Or how classy the women’s hockey team is, or how eight of the 12 medals won in the Olympics this year for the US were won by women?

‘Or do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock & Roll mother***ing Hall of Fame? Do you want to talk about my accomplishments, or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?’

She concluded her video by urging such publications to ‘do better’.

‘Fake news, not true. I love you all, go with God. And trash news, you can do better.’

Rumours had been ignited after Pink failed to pay tribute to her husband on their wedding anniversary in January as she does every year.

In 2025 she gave an honest review of their marriage when she mentioned times that Carey had ‘hated’ her as well, writing: ‘You’ve been my one constant. You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written.’

The 46-year-old singer got engaged to the 50-year-old Motocross rider back in 2005, after meeting at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia. Pink and Carey married in Costa Rica in January 2006, but the couple separated two years later.

They confirmed their reconciliation in the spring of 2009, after calling off their divorce.

Carey told People at the time: ‘We’re rebuilding. Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward.’

Pink also revealed that therapy had played a big role in their reconciliation.

The pop star admitted that they needed to ‘fix the problems’ before reuniting.

Pink – whose real name is Alecia Moore – told People in 2021, as the married couple celebrated their 15th anniversary: ‘Long-term relationships are not easy.

‘It is much easier to stay in the solid days and jump from relationship to relationship, because then you don’t have to fix the problems that keep recurring. You have to end up fixing yourself; you can’t fix the other person. So it can be challenging, and there’s good days and there’s bad days.’

The singer also revealed that she readjusted her expectations ahead of reuniting with Carey, stressing at the time that she didn’t want to ‘break up [her] family’.

She said: ‘I think it’s an impossible expectation for you to think that you’re going to evolve at exactly the same pace as another person in exactly the same direction. So it takes work to redefine what’s important.

‘I don’t want to break up my family. That’s been my main goal, since I had a broken family. Sometimes you have to let it go. You can’t die on every mountain.’

Pink is also celebrating after making the nominees list for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year on Wednesday, alongside the likes of Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Oasis and Shakira.

Artists or bands become eligible 25 years after releasing their first commercial recording, with Pink eligible after releasing debut single There You Go in January 2000.
