Pink is never one to hold back her feelings, even when it comes to her husband, Carey Hart.
The So What hitmaker couldn’t resist poking fun at Carey for his decision to join the gruelling reality series Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, calling him an “idiot” in true Pink style.
The 45-year-old superstar, who has been married to the retired freestyle motocross legend since 2006, admitted to being surprised by his choice but ultimately stood by him.
Speaking about Pink’s reaction to his new venture, Carey, 49, revealed to TooFab: “The first words were: ‘You’re an idiot!’ I hear that a lot. It’s nothing new. But she knows my mentality and my personality.
“And she was like, ‘Look, if you’re going to do it, I support it. And go kick a**!'”

“I’ve had a very successful career. I’m in my super extreme twilight of my career. I’m lucky enough to still do it. But I haven’t had a chance to really push and challenge myself since probably my early 30s,” he shared.

When asked whether Pink herself would ever take on the brutal challenges of Special Forces, Carey was quick to sing her praises but remained diplomatic.

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is not for the faint of heart. The reality series pits 16 celebrity contestants against military-level challenges, designed to push them to the brink physically and mentally.
Premiering on January 8, the two-hour episodes take place in Wales, where the British Special Forces Selection occurs. The recruits face punishing challenges on land and sea, including high-pressure hostage scenarios and surf immersions that bring them to the brink of drowning.
Alongside Carey, the season three lineup is filled with familiar faces, including Denise Richards, Stephen Baldwin, NFL star Cam Newton, and Lizzie McGuire alum Christy Carlson Romano. Other notable contestants include Brody Jenner, Kyla Pratt, Marion Jones, and Olympic gold medallist Jordyn Wieber.
