Pink’s husband Carey Hart heaps praise on daughter Willow during sweet birthday tribute

Pink and Carey Hart’s daughter, Willow Sage Hart, turned 11-years old on Thursday, June 2.

And being the proud father that he has been over the years, the professional motorcyclist took to his Instagram page to share some loving words about his leading lady, other than his wife.

He began by describing Willow as a ‘sweet, sassy. fierce physical, loving and intelligent ‘ young lady, whom he credits with teaching him how to ‘love in ways I didn’t know was possible.

The post began with a close-up photo of Willow, who’s flashing an infectious smile as the sun glares down on to her face.

‘You gave me the gift of being a father, and I thank you for that!’ he continued, adding, ‘I cherish all of our special times together and even the tough ones.’

The X-Games gold-winner confessed his apprehension at her becoming a woman all too soon.

‘You are growing into a young woman, and though it hurts my heart that you are getting older, I can’t wait to see the human you become,’ he said with obvious heartache coming through in his words.

‘Happy 11th B day kiddo, I love you more than life itself. Your papa.’

There’s also a picture of her sanding near some sort of water dwelling looking cute while all bundled up in a floral jacket and baseball cap.

Along with Willow, Pink and Hart, who have been married for 16 years, also have a five-year-old son Jameson.

And while Pink released a new live album – All I Know So Far: Setlist – just over a week ago, it’s now been more than three years since she dropped a studio album full of new songs.

In April 2021, Pink confirmed to ET Canada that a ninth studio album was in the ‘very early days, but I will tell you, it will be very honest.’

Her last release – Hurts 2B Human – ended up becoming another commercial success on the heels of such singles as Walk Me Home, Can We Pretend and Love Me Anyway. 

Hurts 2B Human – went on to become her third consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.
