Published: Sep 02 2025

Pink is handling her recent health hurdle with characteristic resilience. The singer behind the hit "Get the Party Started" opened up about her strategies for coping with an unforeseen illness that struck during a summer escape, sharing a heartfelt message on Instagram on August 30th. "When vacation blends with a food-borne E. coli invasion, you combat it with laughter shared with friends, your beloved daughters, and a glass of red wine—topped off with a vitamin-infused IV cocktail," penned the 45-year-old. "It's all part of the journey, and everything is progressing swimmingly."

Carey Hart's spouse, who co-parents daughter Willow Sage Hart, 14, and son Jameson Moon Hart, 8, further noted, "This is just life's rhythm, and all is well in our world."

According to the Cleveland Clinic, Escherichia coli (E. coli) comprises a family of bacteria capable of infecting the intestines, urinary tract, and various other bodily regions. Often residing harmlessly in the gut, it can occasionally trigger diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and fever.

Undeterred by her health scare, Pink (real name Alecia Beth Moore) chose to focus on the silver linings of her ordeal. "Ah, life throws lemons—let's make lemonade," she captioned her post, "and cherish the fantastic memories that might just linger."

While the unexpected health issue somewhat marred Pink's relaxation time, she still managed to weave a tapestry of summer fun. In August, she embarked on a theater adventure with Willow and Jameson, attending the 10th-anniversary performance of Hamilton at New York City's Richard Rodgers Theatre.

This rare family outing held a special significance, given Pink's frequent praise for her daughter's artistic passion. "As a mother, my joy knows no bounds when my kids embrace their true selves, sans any pretense," she once wrote on Instagram, accompanied by a clip of Willow backstage at The Great Gatsby on Broadway. "But having a theater-loving child? It's a dream come true, the best-case scenario realized."
