Pink And Husband Carey Hart Call It Quits
Pink and her husband – Carey Hart have come to the decision that they should split. The decision made by the punk star and the motocross racer seemed to be mutually established. “This decision was made by best friends with a huge amount of love and respect for one another,” said the singer’s publicist, Michele Schweitzer. “While the marriage is over, their friendship has never been stronger.”
Rumors of a rift between the unconventional couple, who divided their time between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, first surfaced last August. But Hart himself quickly shot down the reports of marital discord, telling the Las Vegas Review-Journal at the time that it was “just a bunch of trash talk. It’s just a nasty rumor. Everything’s fine.”
The 28-year-old “Get This Party Started” singer first met the 32-year-old extreme athlete at the 2001 X Games. After dating for much of the next few years — the duo briefly split in 2003 before rekindling their romance — Pink popped the question in June 2005 while Hart was in the midst of competing in the Pro 250 finals in Mammoth Lakes, California.
While Hart was on the racetrack, Pink scrawled the words Will you marry me? on a board and wandered out to the pit area. When Hart saw the sign, he asked, “Are you serious?” before forfeiting the race to accept the proposal.
