Pink Reveals The Reason For Her Move To New York, Addresses Rumors

Pink, born Alecia Moore, has shared the real reason why she and her family moved to New York.

She explained that the relocation was motivated by family priorities. She is also addressing and clearing up some rumors about her career, offering fans an insight into her thoughts.

March 2 marked Pink’s first day as a guest host for “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where she revealed why she and her family; husband, Carey Hart and her children, 14-year-old Willow and 9-year-old Jameson, are now calling New York their home.

“We actually moved here because I am an amazing mom,” Pink told the audience. “And also so Willow could study theater and experience more Broadway,” the singer revealed.

In a 2024 interview with People, the singer boasted about her daughter, saying, “She’s got a voice, man. She’s a little bird. She wants to do Broadway and then be a trauma surgeon.” Pink has also given Willow the opportunity to perform in front of big crowds, as they have performed multiple times in the past.

Willow was able to showcase her vocal prowess and performed the song “Hopeless War” from the musical “The Outsiders” with Pink. The pair delivered a powerful performance accompanied by a guitar and piano.

The performance was met with a resounding applause from the studio audience, and online users also shared their reactions on YouTube.

“Willow has definitely got the music/vocal talent passed down by her amazing mother. I can’t wait to see where she’s going to take her music career in the future,” one wrote. “Willow is such an incredible singer in her own right,” another commented

Others commended Pink for being a wonderful mother, with one writing, “Pink had done it right, parenting is not easy, but you can tell there’s respect toward each other.”

Despite being a global pop-rock superstar, Pink has always prioritized her children. In an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in 2023, the singer opened up about parenting and her relationship with her kids.

Pink often brings her two children on tour with her, and while it can be exhausting for them, she said they are great with traveling. It’s a big advantage for her, as she gets to spend time with them while working.

She shared with Barrymore that she and Willow had an emotional conversation at one point, where she told her daughter that while her career was important to her, it doesn’t mean it’s more important than her childhood. “I’ll walk away tomorrow, if that’s what you want. I’ll walk away tomorrow,” Pink told Willow.

Fortunately, it didn’t have to come to that, and her children understand the demands of Pink’s work.

Pink is hosting “The Kelly Clarkson Show” for the first week of March, and with Clarkson leaving the show for good, many are speculating that the singer’s hosting stint is a more permanent one.

As The Blast previously reported, Clarkson has made the difficult decision to end her show after seven seasons to spend more time with her children.

Pink addressed the rumors that she will be taking over permanently for Clarkson. In an Instagram video, which has since been deleted, the “So What” singer said that hosting is only a temporary gig, which she is doing because it’s “fun.”

“If I wanted a talk show, I would not have to audition. I would just have one, and it would be amazing, not something I’m currently researching or looking for in my busy, busy, busy world,” Pink continued.

On February 27, several news outlets reported that Pink and Hart were getting a divorce after 20 years of marriage. The singer responded by uploading a video on social media, refuting the claims.

In the video, Pink said, “So I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband. I didn’t know. Thank you for letting me know. I was wondering, would you also like to tell our children?” She then went on to list some topics that she deemed more worthy of reporting than her alleged split with Hart.

“Like I always say. If you don’t hear it from me, don’t believe the hype. Stay tuned, though! Who knows what could happen next!?!” she captioned the post.
