she reveals that their 2year marriage ended, not because either had cheated or they'd fallen out of love, but because pink couldnt deal with being a wife."we all get into playing roles when we're in a relationship" she explains. "im the wife, youre the husband, well the roles didnt work out for us""it doesnt mean we dont love each other. we love each other very much and even though the marriage roles didnt work out we're still trying to work out which roles do"
they may no longer be married but pink and carey cant seem to live without each other. they even make light of their divorce in the video for pinks new single so what, which stars carey as her emotionally unavailable husband. in it she takes a chainsaw to a tree trunk etched with their names.
"staying friends with carey was really important to me, if you have an authentic connection with someone you can love them without possessing them"although they were married for only 2 years they were together for 6 and a half, first meeting in 2001 at a sports event where carey was performing. three months later they were a couple.
"carey asked me to marry him just 2weeks after that" she says "but i said, "ewwww, no! i'm afraid to be in love. but carey is such a good man. four years after he proposed to me i proposed to him instead"
at a motocross race meeting, pink, real name alecia moore, impulsively grabbed a pit stop board and wrote "will you marry me"-flashing it as carey sped past her. carey-who later admitted he nearly crashed his bike-happily accepted.
"he knew what he was getting into. i can be crazy and out there" pink admits. "i'd drive him crazy when we had fights:"go away....come back.........go away............come back" im a walking conflict".
"and you know what really makes carey mad? we'll be having a passionate fight and he'll be building up to his point when i'll start laughing and say "can you just come over here and kiss me?" that makes him so angry"
"but there does come a point when you see the ridiculousness of it all. you turn on the tv and see a child in hospital and you think:"ok, thats going on and we are fighting over who finished the mustard?"
"she declines to say exactly which fight ended their marriage, but confesses that the strain of their conflicting work schedules took its toll. at one point they were lucky if they saw each other once a month.
"its such a cliche when you talk about a hollywood divorce, but the scheduling did get very hard" pink admits. "and it seemed that i was always the one left in charge of it. i got tired of being schedule woman."
"life got a little strange for a while" she continues. " i was a gymnast for 8 years and i learned that when youre twisting through the air you have to have a spot to look at to keep your focus. well, thats how the whole of my life got. i lost my focus and when that happens you just have to stop and replant your feet on the ground"
the couple announced their separation on february 19th this year and pink moved to malibu, where she lives with her three dogs. shes now happily into the single lifestyle. "ive got to know myself again, ive made more friends in the last 6months than i had in the previous 10years.
"the grammy award winner has also thrown herself into recording her new album, funhouse, out next month. this will be her 5th album-the 1st four sold more than 22million copies worldwide.
so, does a new album signal a new start for pink, one that sees her putting her past relationship behind her?
"im kind of boy crazy at the moment, but im strictly:"look dont touch" until i find someone who's yummier than carey, i'm not interested. and i havent yet..."
pinks single so what is out on september 29th. her album funhouse is out on october 27th.
