UPDATE: Pink has now denied that she and Carey have separated! People magazine is rarely wrong, but the singer says this story is bogus. Read on for our original report and stay tuned for updates!
It’s the end of the road for pop icon Pink and her husband of 20 years, BMX rider Carey Hart.
Yes, the tumultuous couple — whose many ups and downs have inspired some of Pink’s biggest hits — have called it quits.
News of the split comes courtesy of a new report from People magazine, which cites unspecified sources.
This is not the first time that Pink and Carey have gone their separate ways.
Their first separation — or at least the first one that they chose to talk about publicly — took place in 2008.
“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,” the singer told People at the time.
“So it can be challenging, and there’s good days and there’s bad days,” she continued, adding:
“I think it’s an impossible expectation for you to think that you’re going to evolve at exactly the same pace as another person in exactly the same direction.
“So it takes work to redefine what’s important. I don’t want to break up my family. That’s been my main goal, since I had a broken family. Sometimes you have to let it go. You can’t die on every mountain.”
“We’re rebuilding,” Hart told the outlet when he and Pink got back together the following year.
“Sometimes you have to take a couple of steps backwards to move forward.”
In 2023, Pink spoke to the outlet again, admitting — with the candor that her fans love — that she and Carey had experienced additional rough patches, but have chosen to make their relationship work.
“He and I are independent to a fault. That’s probably why we’ve stayed together so long, because we can live completely separately and then be together,” Pink told People at the time.
“We don’t need each other. We choose each other.”
Pink and Carey met at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia and dated off and on until he proposed in 2005.
They married in Costa Rica January 2006 and they’ve since welcomed two children.
The couple has yet to comment publicly on the split rumors — and Pink might be pouring her feelings into the best album of her career!

Melissa Claire Egan has some difficult news to share.
But it’s also some important news.
On Thursday, the veteran Young and the Restless actress took to Instagram in order to share the news that she was diagnosed last month with coronary heart disease.
“Thanks to early detection, and medicine, I will be okay!” the star wrote to open her post, adding: “I’m a private person, but this seemed TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO SHARE. Especially for women.”
Egan then used the opportunity to spread awareness while explaining her circumstances.
“My brilliant doctor of 20+ years @drthaisaliabadi sent me to a wonderful cardiologist @ghalichimd when some bloodwork came back high, and through a Heart calcium scan he found plaque in my LAD artery (known as the “widow maker”),” she went on.
“It’s mild so far and tends to be genetic, but rare for a 44 year old woman. This could have caused the plaque to chip off and cause a fatal heart attack or stroke any time over the next 5-10 years, maybe even sooner. Later that night after I was diagnosed, I laid with my sons, putting them to bed, feeling so grateful to God and my doctors that I found this early.
“But I couldn’t stop thinking about all the other women(and men) that might have this disease and not know it. It is under-tested and under-recognized.”
A multiple-time Dayime Emmy Award nominee, Egan has appeared in over 700 episodes of All My Childre and over 1,200 of The Young and the Restless.
She continued a few hours ago via social media:
“We all are so good about getting our mammograms every year, but we don’t check our heart health. It is imperative that you do! Cardiovascular disease is the Number 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year.
“Tell your doctor you want to be evaluated for coronary heart disease risk. A takeaway from my situation, for your blood tests ask your doctor to specifically look for Lipoprotein(a) and ApoB levels.”
Egan joined the cast of The Young and the Restless as Chelsea Lawson in 2011… following the cancellation of All My Children.
For her work on former soap opera, the actress has been nominated three times for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the Daytime Emmy Awards.
She urged folks to ask for a “Heart Calcium scan” in her new post and concluded by encouraging fans to stay proactive about their health:
“Let’s all band together, focus on our heart health, and live longer!!!”
AMEN!

In the 2010s, Robert “Bobby” Edwards invented and co-founded Squatty Potty.
In 2021, the company sold for $19 million.
According to a multi-year investigation and a federal grand jury indictment, Edwards has used some of the proceeds to purchase child sex-abuse material (CSAM).
He has since been arrested. His defense, such as it is, explains very little.
From inventing the Squatty Potty to a chilling arrest
Utah entrepreneur Robert “Bobby” Edwards, 50, made a name for himself — and a tremendous amount of money — with the invention of the Squatty Potty.
From his Shark Tank debut, his product became a sensation, selling millions and becoming a household name.
In 2021, the company that Edwards co-founded sold for $19 million.
That was the same year when federal authorities launched an investigation into him, The Salt Lake City Tribune reports.
The investigation found that he had participated in secretive online groups that viewed, swapped, and purchased photos and videos of the sexual abuse of children.
After years of investigating, authorities obtained a federal grand jury indictment for Edwards for the receipt of child pornography on February 10.
Just days later, he was arrested in Washington County.
On Monday, February 23, he pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors asked the court to hold Edwards in custody.
It’s likely that they consider him a flight risk, given his considerable financial means — with even some of his alleged crimes taking place when he was in other countries.
CSAM investigators have high burnout because they witness true horrors
The investigation into Edwards and others in the alleged online CSAM ring sounds nothing short of harrowing.
According to unsealed documents, an agent at one point clicked a Zoom link within the group chat — taking them into a virtual meeting room where others were watching child sexual abuse videos.
Documents show that Edwards was visible on camera during this appalling scene. Photos of Edwards from his Zoom profile page apparently matched the live footage of him.
Authorities did not simply rely upon his facial appearance to make their case.
They traced his IP address, showing that he was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
According to prosecutors, online payment processors flagged Edwards’ transactions with a UK man named John Carver.
Carver was arrested and ultimately convicted for distributing CSAM — and for blackmailing buyers.
Apparently, four of Edwards’ payments to Carver were flagged.
Carver apparently had a scheme involving advertising on Telegram, soliciting money through PayPal, and only then providing links to the horrific footage of children’s lives being ruined.
Prosecutors also said that Carver participated in the Zoom gatherings, where he distributed samples of his abhorrent media catalogue.
‘5+ is preferred’ is such a casual remark when discussing real child victims
In November, law enforcement was able to directly search Edwards’ home. There, they found multiple devices containing CSAM.
This was not a one-time collection. They identified some files that had been downloaded just a couple of weeks earlier.
They also found harrowing messages of Edwards negotiating his personal tastes as casually as a normal person would discuss, say, a taste in drawings or preferences for food toppings.
“Hey brother, Id love to perv but into most all just not into babies. 5+ is preferred,” read one chilling message.
Edwards apparently denied any “recollection of viewing child pornography” when speaking to agents. He told investigators about an addiction to methamphetamine, which one can only assume will be a factor in his planned legal defense.

As we previously reported, Robert Cosby Jr. was found dead inside a friend’s Salt Lake City home this week.
The son of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby was just 23 years old.
We still don’t have an official cause of death but the Salt Lake City Police Department has confirmed that officers arrived at the home in response to a report of a possible overdose.
When they arrived, Robert had already passed away. Police reportedly administered Narcan, but they were unable to revive him.
Now, we have new information about the troubled young man’s final days.
In November, Robert’s wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce.
She was granted a pretrial restraining order, and Robert was arrested for violating its terms.
We learned today that he was also arrested in early February, this time on domestic violence charges.
According to a new report from TMZ, Cosby was charged with felony aggravated assault, and felony assault, both stemming from domestic violence counts.
The alleged victim is referred to only by her initials, AS. Though Smokoff is not named in full, for obvious reasons, it’s been widely assumed that she was the one who made the complaint.
According to a police report, Cosby “beat her about the face and head, and kicked her in the stomach.”
The attack allegedly left visible injuries, and police reported that AS was “red and swollen, her left eye has a lump below the eyebrow, and there is a red mark visible on A.S.’s neck.”
Those who know her best say that Mary was a strong supporter of her son’s as he battled mental health and substance abuse issues.
“Devastatingly sad news out of SLC. This is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart is broken for Mary, and I am sending all my love to her and Robert Sr,” Andy Cohen wrote on social media this week (via People).
“My heart goes out to you and your family. I pray he is now resting in peace,” Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey chimed in, adding:
“May God cover you during this incredibly difficult time. My prayers are with you. We love you Mary.”
The start of filming for The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 has reportedly been delayed in response to Robert’s death.
Our thoughts go out to his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

The Traitors celebrated the premiere of Season 4 with a cast party.
Unfortunately, Lisa Rinna got more than she bargained for in the process.
She’s debunking claims that she drank too much. What actually happened was more sinister.
Someone dosed her with fentanyl and more, Lisa warns.
Getting dosed with fentanyl (and more) is beyond your average roofie
According to Lisa, her post-The Traitors night out in West Hollywood led to alarming symptoms.
The culprit? Someone dosed her drink with a drug cocktail.
“Did you take like a test or something?” Good Day New York co-host Rosanna Scotto asked.
“I did,” the actress and Bravolebrity confirmed. “I had fentanyl in my system.”
Lisa continued: “Yes. I’m not kidding. I had fentanyl, high levels of amphetamines, and other things.”
If you want further details, however, you may have to wait until pending matters are resolved.
“But I can’t talk a lot about it because we’re still dealing with it,” Lisa shared apologetically.
She explained: “It was leaked and my team is dealing with it now.”
As for the culprit? If Lisa has any theories, she isn’t sharing.
“I can’t say,” she admitted before revealing the venue: “But it was at the Abbey in West Hollywood.”
Thankfully, it sounds like she’s okay
One of the (multiple) good reasons to not go out drinking or partying solo is that someone might, well, poison you.
Fortunately, Lisa was not alone. Her husband, Harry Hamlin, was by her side. He helped her to leave.
“So many people that I know have had this happen at the Abbey. All my daughter’s friends,” she stated.
“I mean, this is not a first-time thing,” Lisa emphasized. “This is something that’s gone on for years.”
She continued: “And I do think it needs to be a conversation. And I’m glad now that it’s out and we will deal with it. I just haven’t had my own time to do that yet.”
The Abbey is a well-known West Hollywood bar and nightclub. It is the inspiration for Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”
So well known, in fact, that even those of us who live on the other side of the country know that it is a notorious location for malefactors to strike.
There are numerous stories of pickpocketing rings who target patrons at the bar and adjoining nightclub. Pickpockets will sometimes roofie bar patrons (this is not exclusive to The Abbey) to make them easier to rob.
The Abbey is a famous — even historic — gay bar and a fixture within Boystown, with hundreds of employees.
But Lisa is, as she notes, far from the first person who has had her night out ruined by an opportunist who sees the guests as easy pickings.
We’re glad that she seems to be okay
It’s very likely that Lisa would not even be discussing this publicly if the story had not leaked.
Whether or not she has identified the culprit who dosed her drink, it appears that she will be taking legal action.
Pickpocketing is not a victimless crime. Even if someone has enough extra cash to go clubbing, losing more than they planned to spend could mean missing rent, being unable to get a safe ride home, or worse.
We’re sorry that this happened to Lisa. We’re sorry that this happened to anyone.
It’s unclear if she’ll be able to identify those responsible — but it has to be a good thing that she’s making the effort.

Early this year, police arrested Timothy Busfield for the alleged molestation of twin boys.
The actor has maintained his innocence in this case.
He has been accused of other sexual assault instances, but those allegations were very different.
A member of Julia Roberts’ family testified about those allegations.
This deposition dates back to his 1994 sexual assault allegations
In 1994, Eliza Roberts — sister-in-law of Julia Roberts, wife of Eric Roberts, and stepmother of Emma Roberts — gave testimony in a deposition.
Eliza was speaking in support of a 17-year-old girl who accused Busfield of sexual assault.
This was on the set of Little Big League, a comedy film.
At the time, Eliza had only been a Roberts for about two years.
She testified about an alleged creepy overture from Busfield years earlier.
According to Eliza, five years before the deposition, Busfield had told her with little preamble that he would like to perform oral sex upon her.
RadarOnline reports that he allegedly boasted to her that he would be “so great in bed” for her, specifically.
Busfield allegedly disparaged his wife as a “lousy f–k” at the time.
(In 1988, he married his second wife, fashion designer Jennifer Merwin. They share two children, and divorced in 2007.)
Despite the testimony, the alleged incident with the Minnesota never led to criminal charges. Instead, Busfield settled with the teenager for an undisclosed amount.
Every part of this is just SO upsetting
The actor is also accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a 2001 audition, including touching her genitals without her consent.
Busfield’s current charges strike a different tone, and not only because of the gender of the alleged victims. Age is also a huge factor.
The allegations that led to his arrest earlier this year are that he sexually abused twin boys, who were child actors on The Cleaning Lady, from November 2022 until early 2024.
Neither boy has been publicly identified. We do know that both boys are now 11.
Busfield has characterized the allegations as “horrible lies.” He declared: “I did not do anything to those little boys, and I’m gonna fight it.”
In the case of the twin actors — the one that has led to Busfield’s arrest and current legal proceedings — he is not the only one claiming that he is innocent.
A witness has disputed the Busfield allegations.
The witness from The Cleaning Lady‘s set insisted that no one, including Busfield, would have had access or privacy to prey upon any children on the set.
Perhaps more significantly, the witness alleged that the boys’ mother had vowed revenge on Busfield after he had declined to re-hire her twins for their role.
Additionally, it is reported that the boys had denied any sexual wrongdoing to a therapist before working with a new therapist.
People have a lot of theories but few solid answers
To be clear, there is no evidence (or even, as far as we have seen, suggestion) that any teenage girl accusers have only identified Busfield as a predator after dubious therapy sessions.
Though the actor has no prior criminal history,
It is possible for a predator to have a wide range of victims, or to show little-to-no preference, or to have an array of victims who remain secret and thus do not show a pattern of preference.
At the same time, it is conceivable that a public figure with an already dubious (at best) reputation could become a target for allegations that are untrue and do not fit with his prior bad acts.
To be blunt, there is a lot that we do not know about this case. Hopefully, evidence at trial will point a blazing arrow to the truth.
