Pink Reveals 'The Only Reason' She & Husband Carey Hart Are Still Together

Pink and her husband, Carey Hart, are a testament to love, but the stars have worked hard on their relationship.

During a recent Instagram Live with her therapist, Vanessa Inn, the pop vet, 40, revealed that the couple's therapist remains the reason why she and the former motor cross biker, 44, are still together after tying the knot in 2006. "I got a lot of s**t for telling people that Carey and I have been in couples counseling," the chart-toper said of Hart, whom she shares two children: Willow, 9, Jameson, 4. "I talk to Vanessa on my own, and I also talk to Vanessa with Carey, and for Carey and I."

"It's the only reason that we're still together," she confessed to her social media followers. "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."

Pink’s revelation was no exaggeration either as she continued to credit the therapist for her marriage time and time again. “Without Vanessa translating for me for the last 18 years, I mean, we would not be together,” she continued. “We just wouldn't because we are not taught as kids how to have relationships, how to get along with people. I mean, what's happening in our country right now is a perfect example of that. We don't know how to love each other, we don't know how to get along, we don't know how to communicate."

Asked about their biggest issue, the singer said hardship falls most on intimacy for the pair. "There’s a difference between connection and intimacy," she confessed, before sharing a special technique that Inn used to help them reconnect. "There was a moment in couples counseling with Carey, I'll never forget, in the office I had been complaining about him for years about how he's just not present, he's not here, he doesn't get it, he's not hearing me emotionally, he's not even trying to understand my language. And [Vanessa] was like, 'OK, everybody shut up, stand up, put your hands on each other's hearts and just look into each other's eyes.'"

"Then this man, that I had been saying won't show up for me, his feet were planted in that earth, his hand was on my heart and his eyes were looking into my soul and guess what I did? I started giggling and I looked away, and in that moment I realized that I was a little bit full of sh*t," she admitted. "I was the one here that was just talking and there have been many of those times."
