May 14, 2023 by apost team

Over the years, P!nk has through and through proved to everyone that an A-list celebrity and singer like her can still be an incredible mother to two without making her children feel uncared for.

Although it's been nearly two decades since the pop star's debut single hit the Billboard Hot 100, the 43-year-old performer is still shaking things up in the entertainment industry. The singer, who has brought us hits such as "Get the Party Started" and "There You Go," was born on Sept. 8, 1979, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

P!nk, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, began her music career in a girl band. When that didn't work out, she went solo in 1999 at the age of 20 and has never looked back. According to Billboard, she has 15 top 10 hits and is one of the bestselling US music artists to date. 

Apart from being a trailblazer in the music industry, the punk princess has also come to be known for her quirky hairstyles throughout her career. The singer is hailed as changing the game for the pop world, not only through her edgy style of music but also for her openness, honesty and vulnerability. 

Not only is P!nk a great performer but she has also been praised for her incredible and brilliant parenthood techniques, which have been emulated by many on social media toward her children, Willow and Jameson. So when P!nk’s daughter revealed that she thought she was ugly back in 2017, the singer reminded Willow just how beautiful our differences can be.

Musician P!nk is one proud mama, often posting photos of her family and what they are up to. P!nk started a family with former motocross racer Carey Hart after they got married back in 2006. The power couple welcomed their first child, Willow Sage Hart, in June 2011 and later welcomed their son, Jameson Moon Hart, in December 2016. 

In August 2020, P!nk posted a gorgeous photo of herself and her daughter Willow to her Instagram, highlighting their family resemblance and how close they really are. Appearing to be taken on a pool day, the picture showed P!nk and Willow sitting together in their swimsuits, enjoying the afternoon sun. Willow wore a cute black-and-white one-piece swimsuit, while P!nk rocked a pastel-colored bikini and headscarf, looking ever the retro siren with a swipe of lipstick on as well. The two had big smiles for the photo, exuding warmth and happiness. P!nk captioned the post, "My baby girl 🥰"

Fans were quick to point out the family resemblance in the comments, with one user writing, "She looks so much like you. Happy inside and out." Multiple commenters called them twins, while another wrote, "She looks so much like her momma ! ❤️"

P!nk and Hart often express their love and adoration for their children on their social media pages. Back in June 2020, Hart shared a heartwarming Instagram post for Willow's birthday. The image included two photos of Willow, one from a more recent time and another from a few years prior, and a heartfelt message to her.

Hart wrote:

"My sweet daughter willow. Where do I start. You have shown me what love of a child is all about. You changed my life from the moment your mama was pregnant. I always wanted to be a father and thank you for choosing me as your papa. You impress me everyday you walk this planet. You are smart, thoughtful, compassionate...One of the biggest joys I have with you is watching you grow into your own independent person each day that passes. You are gonna change the world one day, munchkin. I could not me (sic) more proud and in love with you. Have a great 9th birthday. Thank you mama @pink for cooking a good one."

The couple is clearly very supportive of their children and supports their individuality. In 2019, Willow got a haircut where one side of her head was shaved while the rest was kept longer, and both her parents were avid supporters of her uniqueness, with Hart proudly saying, "Loving my punk rock daughter."

P!nk’s parenting practices might be different from other celebrity parents out there, as the singer has been public about teaching her children, specifically Willow, to become independent. 

In her conversation on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” P!nk confessed to becoming codependent on her family, the reason why she decided to have her children on tour. P!nk asked her daughter in the crowd for consent to talk about the rather personal moment, to which the latter agreed. 

“Willow and I had a really teary conversation about this tour because she has needs now,” she said, referring to Willow’s needs as a growing adolescent.

P!nk continued, “I told her there are things you wanna do, and also, this isn’t just my job, and I worked really hard for this.” 

She also went on to point out that because of her job and livelihood, she has helped other people too. But despite the insurmountable task of having other people depend on her, P!nk clarified that this should not get in the way of Willow’s life. 

"That doesn’t mean that it means more than your childhood or what you mean to me. 'I’ll walk away tomorrow. If that’s what you want, I’ll walk away tomorrow,'" P!nk recalled telling Willow. 

P!nk shared a moving message for her daughter when she won the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. The singer recounted how she had a conversation with Willow where the young girl said she was the "ugliest girl I know" and that she looked "like a boy with long hair." 

P!nk went on to inspire her daughter by showing the importance of self-love and acceptance. She also showed how beauty comes in all forms showing Willow androgynous rock stars including David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Annie Lennox. As she explained in her speech, P!nk then told Willow:

"So, baby girl, we don't change. We take the gravel in the shell and we make a pearl. And we help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty...and you, my darling girl, are beautiful. I love you."

What an amazing message to teach her daughter.
