The truth about Pink’s marriage
The chart topper gets candid about the good times – and the bad
She’s amassed millions of fans thanks to her no-holds-barred personality, so it’s little wonder pop superstar Pink has made an extraordinarily honest confession about her marriage to Carey Hart.
Last week, the So What singer, 41, dedicated an appreciation post to her lover – who she shares two children, Willow, nine, and Jameson, three, with – admitting their marriage hasn’t always been smooth sailing. In fact, the hitmaker claimed their relationship has been equal parts “awful” and “wonderful”.
“He’s still my favorite sweet little dirtball. He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together,” she said of Carey, who she married in 2006.
“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,” she continued, making reference to her short-lived marital issues.
Two years after marrying in a sunset beach ceremony in Costa Rica, Pink announced her separation from the 45-year-old former motocross champion.
They reconciled one year later in 2009, and thanks to therapy, they’ve been able to manage their issues.
“People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing,” she wrote in her touching post. “They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t. Therapy isn’t for weak people or hippies or liberals. It’s for broken people that want to be whole... I love you babe. I’m grateful we made it to this photo.”
