Pink, Baby Willow: How the New Addition to the Family Saved the Singer's Marriage

"My parents couldn't do marriage successfully and nor could Carey's, so we're kinda making our own model," Pink tells Fabulous magazine of her marriage to former motocross racer Carey Hart in a new interview. The parents of 15-month-old daughter Willow Sage have breathed new life into their union, and the new mom credits their baby for saving the marriage.

"Having a baby has made it permanent, you know?" Pink admits of the on-again-off-again relationship. "I think marriages are so easy to get in and out of these days," she continues. "I don't know if we're ever quite sure about forever any more. There's always that fear: 'Is this gonna work?'"

Pink, 33, and Carey, 37, started dating back in 2001. They tied the knot in 2006, only to announce their separation in 2008. After attending marriage counseling together, the couple reconciled in 2009 and in 2010, announced they were expecting their first child together.

"You have a child and in some ways it has to work. So you fight, but you fight ... nicer," Pink explained of how baby Willow has changed the marriage. The "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" singer admits she and Carey still have their arguments, but she doesn't necessarily characterize that as a bad thing.

"We're very passionate and I hope we always fight because when you retreat to your silent corners, that's when you have to worry," she insists.

She is crazy if she thinks children ever do that.You stay married because you get along you are working for a common goal and you love well in most cases really like each other.You don't have children because you can't make a marriage work.I see divorce in the next 2 yrs for her.

Of course that is not the case! Kids are here forever, relationships need constant work! If there is something wrong with the relationship having a child will not solve the problems. Working on a relationship can solve problems...

Oh get off of it already people. She wasn't telling you or anyone else to go get knocked up to save a marriage. She was saying what she felt. She is allowed to have her own feelings isn't she?
What exactly is wrong with what she said also? Children are permanent and do change your relationship. For many people they do make you work harder at your marriage.

Ok people just because her experience is not in line with yours or your opinions doesn't mean it wasn't true for HER CASE. I know for a fact I wouldn't be with my baby's father if it wasn't for my baby. Crucify me. Life happens we make our decisions all that really matters are the innocent children in the end. As long as they are cared for properly who cares if your relationship with your child's other parent sucks. Just don't make it evident in front of your kids.

Noooo, babies don't save marriages. They put much more strain on it. This woman is idiotic, but then so is anyone who takes what someone named Pink says seriously. PLAN your children when you are in a healthy and stable relationship.

Her name is Alecia Beth Moore, not Pink, Thats her chosen name for her fans but even if that was her real name, how would that make her stupid or her opinion any less important than yours?

Babies don't same marriages. Adults same marriages. This communicates a bad message.

We don't think the majority of readers actually read this article. In short, P!nk and Carey had problems, took action and attended marriage counseling together, which resulted in a reconnected relationship filled with alot of every day issues, but, DID receive fruition. Happy families usually result in procreaction, we mean, come on, when we are happy, we have a great time. The result of all of their relationship is Willow Sage, their beautiful daughter. P!nk is a b a d a s s and a hothead; she admits that Willow Sage has soften her and when they do argue; they do it nicer. Which is always a better resolve. On another note; loved watching P!nk's Sept. 6th performance on the VMA's and on Ellen's 10th anniverary show on Monday. Also, Gratz to P!nk on being named a CoverGirl. Since Carey has retired, Willow needs a new outfit. lol. Best to the Carey Hart family.
