The So What? hitmaker and the motocross racer split in 2008
Pink, 44, and her husband Carey Hart, 48, often share photos of their happy home life with their two children Willow, 12, and Jameson, six, but fans may not remember that the couple have actually split on several occasions, even drawing up divorce papers.
The So What? Singer, whose real name is Alecia Moore, met the motocross racer at the Summer X Games in Philadelphia in 2001, but their relationship was not smooth sailing. They briefly split in 2003 for one year, during which time Pink was linked to Tommy Lee, but neither of them has revealed the reason for their separation.
They rekindled their romance in 2004 and Pink proposed the following year during the Pro 250 class finals in Mammoth, California. In the very public gesture, the singer held up a board that said: 'Will you marry me?' followed by another that read: 'Serious!' and Carey pulled over to reply: "Yes!"

When did Pink and Carey Hart get married?
The couple tied the knot in a beachside ceremony in front of 100 guests at the Four Seasons resort in Costa Rica in January 2006. Carey told People: "We wanted it very fun and nontraditional. We're spiritual, but we're not religious. It was about being with our closest friends and family and having a very fun and loose party."

Why did Pink and Carey Hart split?
After just two years of marriage, the Just Give Me a Reason hitmaker confirmed she had separated from Carey but hinted it may not be permanent.
"The most important thing for you all to know is that Carey and I love each other so so much. This breakup is not about cheating, anger, or fighting. I know it sounds like cliché [expletive], but we are best friends, and we will continue to be.
"All I know at this point is that I want to make the best album I can, and Carey wants to do the best possible job he can with everything he has going on.
"He is a good man, so please support him as well. One never knows the future, but mine and Carey's just might involve beach babies and sunshine one day. Just not right now. Thanks for the concern and caring. X Miss P," the statement read.
They drew up divorce papers during their 11-month split, but in April 2009, Carey told People: "We're rebuilding. Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward."
Shortly after reconciling, they found out they were expecting their eldest child and they welcomed daughter Willow in June 2011. Their son, Jameson, followed in December 2016.
During that year, Pink looked back at her on-off relationship on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "We’ve had two breaks. The first one was about a year. And the second one was 11 months." She joked they were "due" for another.
How are Pink and Carey Hart making their marriage work?
Pink has been very candid about seeking therapy with Carey, with the couple crediting Vanessa Inn for saving their marriage.
"It's the only reason that we're still together because you know, I think partners after a long time, we just speak. I can't say it's a man and woman thing, I think it's a partner thing, a spouse thing – that you just speak two different languages.
"You need someone to hear both of you and then translate it for you, and without Vanessa translating for me for the last 18 years, I mean we would not be together. We just wouldn't because we are not taught as kids how to have relationships, how to get along with people," the star told her Instagram followers.
Never one to shy away from the truth, Pink also admitted that they go through their fair share of ups and downs, but they "do the work" to make their relationship successful.
"There are moments where I look at [Hart] and he is the most thoughtful, logical, constant … he’s like a rock. He’s a good man. He’s a good dad. He’s just the kind of dad I thought he’d be and then some," she said in an interview with The Guardian in October 2017.
"And then I’ll look at him and go: I’ve never liked you. There’s nothing I like about you. We have nothing in common. I don’t like any of the [expletive] you like. I don’t ever wanna see you again.
"Then two weeks later I’m like, things are going so good, you guys. Then you’ll go through times when you haven’t had sex in a year. Is this bed death? Is this the end of it? Do I want him? Does he want me?"
Pink added: "Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it’s good again."
