P!nk hits back at rumours she's split from husband Carey Hart
The pair have been married for 20 years
The showbiz world was rocked on 26th February when reports from the US suggested that 'So What' singer P!nk had split from her husband of 20 years, Carey Hart.
People magazine reported the surprising news, citing an anonymous source, but P!nk was quick to shut down the rumours herself.
Immediately jumping online to put the rumours to bed, 46-year-old P!nk said in an Instagram video: "On my way to a beer, I was just alerted to the fact I have split from my husband.
"Thank you for letting me know. Would you also like to tell my children? My 14-year-old and nine-year-old are also unaware. 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?' Do you want to talk about my accomplishments or only my supposed demise?
"So fake news, not true. I love you all. Go with God."
WARNING - The below video contains some strong language:
The singer captioned the video with: '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!?!', and fans were quick to support her.
One wrote: 'The queen has spoken 👏🏻❤️', with another commenting: 'So glad you two are still together. I love you i love Carey and the kiddos..you are such a beautiful family!! 👏👏Bravo on the Hall of fame..so deserving!!'. (sic)
A third wrote: 'Thank you for clarifying! And way to go with the hall of fame!! We will be voting every day!!!!'.
P!nk first met former motocross racer Carey way back in 2001, and endured an on/off relationship for the first five years. That was until P!nk proposed to Carey at one of his races, holding up a sign saying "Will You Marry Me?".
It was then in 2006 the pair got married at the Four Seasons resort in Costa Rica, but after just two years of marriage, they announced they'd split.
Just one year later, the pair worked on their relationship and called off their divorce in 2009 and announced they were expecting their first child together in 2010. After welcoming their daughter Willow Sage Hart in June 2011, the couple then welcomed their second child, Jameson Moon Hart, in December 2016.
Over the years the couple have been open about their marriage struggles, with P!nk even revealing her marriage to Carey inspired her 'Beautiful Trauma' album in 2017, and admitting therapy was the reason they've been able to make it work.
In 2021, she told People: “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."
In January this year, the couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
Now take a look at all of P!nk's albums over the years:

Her debut album 'Can't Take Me Home' was released in April 2000, spawning singles 'There You Go', 'Most Girls' and 'You Make Me Sick'. It broke into the Top 15 in the UK and has been certified Platinum.
P!nk has a very love-hate relationship with this album - although it catapulted her into fame, she wasn't keen on the R&B focus and felt she lacked creative control over how she was being marketed.

After being disappointed by the genre of her first album, P!nk took matters into her own hands. After stealing the number of legendary singer-songwriter and producer Linda Perry out of her makeup artist's phone book, P!nk convinced her to work on her next album.
