Pink celebrated her 44th birthday in style this week, but it was husband Carey Hart’s emotional Instagram tribute that stole the show, sending fans into a frenzy online. The motocross star posted a series of photos honoring his wife, along with a 16-word message that had millions pausing to admire his sentiment: “You are like a fine wine.”
Hart’s post was filled with praise, reflecting on the 24 years he has known Pink. “Amazing mother, performer, wife, friend, business woman, philanthropist, role model, all around amazing human being,” he wrote, before adding his now-famous compliment. The couple’s mutual admiration has been a hallmark of their long-lasting relationship—Pink herself recently called Hart the one aging “like a fine wine” on his birthday in July.
Their love story began at the 2001 Summer X Games, where Hart was competing. In a twist that surprised many, Pink famously proposed to him during one of his races in 2005. Over the years, their relationship has remained in the public eye, celebrated for its openness, warmth, and humor.
The images Carey shared gave fans a peek into Pink’s day: one photo shows her in a pink fuzzy hat, posing with a picture of her idol, Billy Joel, while another captures her at a Madison Square Garden concert with their children Willow Sage, 14, and Jameson Moon, 8. Billy Joel holds special significance for the couple, as Pink revealed she walked down the aisle to his classic “She’s Always a Woman.”
Fans quickly took to the comments to shower Pink and Carey with love. Admirers praised Hart for the heartfelt tribute, with one fan writing, “Love men who talk so respectfully & beautifully about their wives. It’s so remarkable to read.” Others celebrated Pink herself, calling her a “voice of our generation” and “an icon,” while sharing personal stories of how her music had impacted their lives.
From birthday wishes celebrating her as a performer to heartfelt notes on the personal inspiration she provides, the global response made one thing clear: Pink is not only a music icon but also deeply cherished by fans—and clearly adored by her husband, Carey Hart.
