“We’ve Been Divorced for 3 Years”: Carey Hart Sets the Record Straight on His Marriage to Pink

A sensational headline recently reignited speculation about the status of motocross champion Carey Hart and global pop icon Pink’s marriage, suggesting they had been divorced for three years. In reality, the couple is very much together and recently celebrated 19 years of marriage. The headline, however, echoes a difficult chapter in their relationship when they separated, filed for divorce, and nearly ended their union.

The True Story Behind the Headlines

Pink, born Alecia Moore, met Carey Hart at the 2001 Summer X Games, and their relationship quickly became a fixture of both the music and sports worlds. Pink famously proposed to Hart during one of his motocross races in 2005, and they wed in Costa Rica on January 7, 2006.

However, by early 2008, the couple announced their separation and confirmed they had drawn up divorce papers. This separation lasted about 11 months until April 2009, when they publicly shared that they were rebuilding their marriage. It was during this time apart that many assumed their split was permanent.

Healing Through Hardship

Carey Hart has described their separation as a time when they had to “take a couple of steps backwards to move forward.” The challenges they faced fueled Pink’s creative output, leading to one of her most memorable songs.

The Song That Captured Their Turmoil

In August 2008, Pink released “So What,” co-written with Max Martin and Shellback. The single became an anthem of defiance and independence, opening with the candid line, “I guess I just lost my husband, I don’t know where he went.” The song humorously and honestly reflected their personal crisis.

In a surprising twist, Carey Hart appeared in the music video for “So What,” signaling mutual respect and an enduring connection despite their struggles.

The Road to Reconciliation

Both Pink and Hart credit couples counseling as a key factor in saving their marriage. Pink has openly stated that therapy was the “only reason” they remain together, helping them communicate more effectively and rebuild their bond.

Today: A Stronger Partnership

Now parents to two children—daughter Willow Sage (born 2011) and son Jameson Moon (born 2016)—Pink and Carey Hart exemplify resilience. Their marriage, marked by very public ups and downs, stands as a testament to the reality that even the sweetest love stories face challenges.

Their journey continues to inspire fans, proving that enduring love often requires honesty, hard work, and forgiveness.
