Alecia Moore, better known by her stage name Pink, has built a legacy as a Grammy-winning pop-rock star with a flair for the dramatic and a heart full of love. But who holds the key to her heart? Enter Carey Hart, a motocross legend, entrepreneur, and doting father, who has been Pink’s husband for nearly two decades. Their love story, however, has been anything but a smooth ride. Let’s dive into who Carey Hart is, their rollercoaster relationship, and the life they’ve built together.
Who Is Carey Hart?
Carey Hart, 49, is best known as a pioneer in freestyle motocross. He cemented his place in sports history when he executed the first-ever backflip on a 250cc dirt bike in competition during the 1990s. That daring move didn’t just make him famous; it set the standard for what was possible in motocross. Born in Seal Beach, California, Carey grew up with a passion for motorcycles, turning his childhood hobby into a groundbreaking career.
Aside from his motocross achievements, Hart is also a savvy businessman. He’s the proud owner of the Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company, which has locations in cities like Las Vegas, Orlando, and Nashville. He’s also the brains behind Good Ride, a motorcycle charity ride that benefits causes close to his heart, particularly veterans’ organizations. Add to that his stake in House Beer, a craft lager brand he revived to its former glory, and you’ve got a man who knows how to keep busy.
A Love That’s Stood the Test of Time
Pink and Carey Hart first crossed paths at the 2001 Summer X Games in Philadelphia. Sparks flew immediately. As Hart told People in 2006, “I knew within the first few weeks after meeting her that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life.” Despite the strong connection, their relationship was tested early on. They broke up in 2003 but reunited a year later. In a bold move that perfectly captured their fiery dynamic, Pink proposed to Hart in 2005 during one of his races by holding up a pit board that read, “Will you marry me?”
The couple tied the knot in 2006, but the road to happily ever after wasn’t straightforward. Just two years into their marriage, they separated. During their time apart, Hart faced immense personal loss when his brother tragically died in a motocross accident. Pink rushed to his side, and their bond grew stronger than ever. By 2009, they had rekindled their romance and called off their divorce. They’ve been inseparable since, crediting therapy and a “no quit button” for their resilience.
A Family of Four
Today, Carey and Pink are proud parents to two children: Willow Sage, 13, and Jameson Moon, 7. Hart, who jokingly describes himself as a “father, husband, idiot,” often shares glimpses of their family life on social media. Recently, he took Willow and Jameson on a fishing trip in Santa Barbara, showcasing his love for quality time with his kids.
Parenting isn’t without its controversies for Hart. He’s faced criticism for teaching his children how to handle firearms and for once riding a dirt bike with then-23-month-old Jameson. Unapologetic, Hart has emphasized his commitment to raising his kids responsibly, educating them about firearm safety, and fostering their independence.
Inside Their Marriage
Hart and Pink’s marriage isn’t just built on love but also on hard work and open communication. Pink has been candid about their struggles, sharing that couples’ counseling has been a cornerstone of their relationship. “Long-term relationships are not easy,” she told People. “We both have therapy, individually, and we do couples counseling. Learning how to speak the same language, because we don’t speak the same language, has been huge.”
Their love story has also inspired some of Pink’s biggest hits, including “So What,” “I Don’t Believe You,” and “Just Give Me a Reason.” While some songs delve into their struggles, Hart takes it all in stride. “We’ve been together 21 years. I have very thick skin,” he quipped on The Kelly Clarkson Show in 2023.
Carey Hart’s Net Worth and Health Challenges
Hart’s ventures in motocross, business, and endorsements have helped him amass an estimated net worth of $30 million. While his career achievements are impressive, they’ve come at a physical cost. Over the years, Hart has sustained countless injuries, including over 80 broken bones and fractures. He’s undergone multiple surgeries, including a lower spine disc replacement and neck surgery.
In addition to physical challenges, Hart has been vocal about his struggles with post-concussion syndrome, stress, and anxiety. On Jon Bernthal’s YouTube channel Real Ones, he opened up about the mental toll of his career and how he’s learned to cope.
Looking Ahead
As of now, Carey Hart is gearing up for the 2024 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally while continuing to juggle his business ventures and family life. Pink, who recently showered him with love (and a little teasing) on his 49th birthday, called him “frustrating, sarcastic, gorgeous” and praised his dedication to their family. “We love you, Carebear. We see you. You’re really amazing,” she wrote on Instagram.
While their journey together hasn’t always been smooth, Carey Hart and Pink have proven that love, resilience, and a bit of humor can go a long way. From their early days at the X Games to raising two kids and navigating life’s ups and downs, these two are the definition of couple goals.
