P!nk took to Instagram on February 26, 2026, to deny separation reports from People and Us Weekly, calling them “fake news, not true.”

She sarcastically noted that her two kids were also “unaware” of their parents’ split — because it isn’t happening.

P!nk used the moment to redirect attention to her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination and more pressing issues like the Epstein files and women’s Olympic achievements.

Leave it to P!nk to find out she’s separated from her husband of 20 years the same way the rest of us did — by reading about it on the internet.

On February 26, 2026, People magazine dropped an “exclusive” citing an unnamed source claiming that P!nk and former motocross racer Carey Hart had split for the second time in their two-decade marriage. Us Weekly quickly followed suit. Within hours, the tabloid industrial complex had declared yet another celebrity marriage dead on arrival.

There was just one problem: P!nk had no idea.

The “Raise Your Glass” singer clapped back fast, posting a fiery Instagram video and writing in the caption, “Like I always say. If you don’t hear it from me, don’t believe the hype.”

In the clip — which, yes, contains some very P!nk-appropriate strong language — she wasted absolutely no time. “I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband. I didn’t know. Thank you People Magazine. Thank you Us Weekly. Thank you for letting me know,” she said sarcastically.

She wasn’t done. “I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children? My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware,” she continued.

Brutal. Efficient. Completely on brand.

P!nk then pivoted — as only she can — from defending her marriage to asking why entertainment outlets weren’t covering things that actually matter. “Or do you want to talk about some real news? Do you want to talk about the Epstein files? Do you want to 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 U.S. were won by women?”

She also made sure to mention her own résumé. “Do you want to talk about my accomplishments, or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise? So, ‘fake news’ — not true,” P!nk concluded. “I f–king hate that term. I love you all. Go with God. And trash news: you can do better.”

The P!nk-Carey Hart separation story has a familiar narrative arc, which is probably why it had legs in the first place. The singer and former motocross competitor first started dating in 2001 after meeting at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia. Four years later, they got engaged and married in 2006, with a ceremony in Costa Rica. Two years later, the couple separated amicably and got back together in 2009. That actual separation even inspired P!nk’s banger “So What.” History, it seems, made for irresistible tabloid bait.

But the couple has been rock solid — or at least loudly committed to figuring it out — for years. In January 2025, while celebrating her 19th wedding anniversary with Hart on Instagram, P!nk wrote, “I’ve been with you longer than I haven’t. 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. It is gritty and sweet.”

As for the fake news Carey Hart split narrative, People its story to acknowledge the Instagram denial, noting P!nk’s representatives declined comment, and Hart’s did not respond — a detail that will likely fuel exactly zero follow-up think pieces about journalistic sourcing standards.

P!nk, meanwhile, has considerably better things to focus on. She was recently nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the first year she was eligible for induction, landing among 17 nominees in 2026 alongside Mariah Carey, Oasis, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Shakira.

So to recap: P!nk is not separated from Carey Hart. Her kids didn’t need to find out from People. And “trash news” — her words, not ours — can absolutely do better.
