Sometimes the ups and downs of a celebrity relationship come as a shock.
Other times, one can’t help but wonder how they didn’t see it coming.
“You’ve been my one constant.
You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again.
I love our story no matter what gets written.
It is gritty and sweet.
Thank you for being by my side all these years.
I love you forever.”
Who wouldn’t raise a glass to that?
According to Hart, it was love at first sight.
Just two years into their relationship, they called it quits.
Neither would say why, but during their time apart, Pink reportedly dated bad-boy rocker Tommy Lee.
There was no candlelight, soft music, or champagne on ice.
Hart hit the brakes on his bike and went full speed ahead on a wedding just six months later.
“We wanted it very fun and non-traditional,” Hart toldPeople.
“We’re spiritual, but we’re not religious.
It was about being with our closest friends and family and having a very fun and loose party.”
“They’re so in love, and they’re best friends,” she said.
In a statement released by Pink (perPeople), she explained their situation and described it as amicable.
“This breakup is not about cheating, anger, or fighting.
Pink revealed toRedbookthat their hectic schedules were a big reason for the split.
There was never time to work anything out, and the problems kept building.
The couple eventually filed for divorce during their almost year-long split.
“Carey would see me for five days and be gone for six weeks,” Pink explained.
“We’d make a run at fix everything in those five days you just can’t do that.
But while it may not have been the cause of the breakup, it might have been the result.
According to McGee’s ex-husband, Shane Modica, she told him about the tryst.
Modica also said Hart visited McGee, a stripper at a San Diego club, to see her performances.
According to her ex, McGee was a gold-digger whose affair with Hart occurred before her affair with James.
“It’s horrible because she sleeps with anybody who she believes can help her out.”
“I spent months on this album.
Next to it I wrote, ‘This is me without you.'”
“People are always like, ‘Why did you get back together?'”
“Well, we weren’t done.
And now we have Willow, so we’ll never be done.”
“Is this bed death?
Is this the end of it?
Do I want him?
Does he want me?
But you do the work and it’s good again.”
“Should I light candles and open wine and put on a show?
Are we going big here or are you going to fall asleep again?”
What parent can’t relate to that?
“He has a raised F250 and those tires are thick, thank you very much.
She laughed about the experience, telling DeGeneres, “The holidays are stressful.”
We’re going to tour?
How is it going to work?
Do we take the Pack ‘n Play?”
I’ll walk away tomorrow,'” the singer toldPeople.
Her daughter discouraged her from quitting and told her, “I love what you do.”
I count my blessings every single day.”
“We love being a family,” she toldExtra.
“And we both come from families that gave up, and that’s okay.
That was their journey, that was the journey we all were supposed to be on.
But for us, we don’t want to do that.”
For this couple who has faced their fair share of challenges, that meant couple’s therapy.
It wasn’t that long ago that therapy was not something you discussed publicly.
Pink believes that men and women speak different languages, and Inn helped her connect with Hart.
They strive to work through things rather than close themselves off, or scream and yell.
“you’re able to’t have one foot in and one foot out,” she said.
“I don’t even know if they’re real people half the time.”
Social media isn’t the only place the singer airs her issues.
And what does her spouse think about that?
Pink toldUSA Todaythat it doesn’t phase him.
“I don’t even think he’s listening half the time,” she joked. "
For his part, Hart seems to agree.
“I have very thick skin,” he said on"The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Then the singer revealed that they nearly split up for a third time.
When I met you, 22 years ago, I just wanted someone that wouldn’t lie to me.
I didn’t have a clue about commitment, building a life together, intimacy, trust.
It’s f****** hard.
But man if I’m not humbled by the surprise of loyalty, history, forgiveness, and resilience.
… You are my stubborn, beautiful, immovable rock."
And if not, we’re sure she’ll find a way to turn them into another smash hit.
Only time will tell.
