Pink never imagined how motherhood would impact her entire world.
“Honestly, I was terrified to be a mother,” Pink, 46, told E! News in an interview published Wednesday, June 3. “I told Willow in her birthday card that she taught me what love is. And I’ve loved every phase of being her mom.”
Willow, whom Pink shares with husband Carey Hart, turned 15 on Tuesday, June 2. (Pink and Hart, 50, are also parents of son Jameson, 9.)
“It makes me very emotional,” Pink told the outlet of her firstborn. “I did not know that I would be able to handle a teenager — and she is the easiest person I’ve ever met to love.”
Pink and Hart even recently relocated to New York City, so Willow can pursue her passion for theater.
“She is now finally at the age where she would like to do her own thing, which I think is boring,” Pink quipped to E! News. “She’s doing the damn thing. She’s in cabarets for charity, she’s in workshops, she just did Carrie the musical, which was dark. She’s killing it. It’s fun to watch. I told her she just has to work hard and be a good person, and show up and be a good teammate and work hard.”
According to Pink, her daughter is ecstatic to live in the Big Apple.
“She’s so happy,” the rock star said on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday. “She is Broadway obsessed, she’s extremely earnest, she’s a hard worker and she’s really talented.”
Pink, who further gushed about her “amazing” daughter getting accepted into a performing arts high school, noted that Willow even approved of her hosting the 2026 Tony Awards.
“I want to stay out of her lane. She chose a lane that is not mine, and I want to respect it,” Pink explained on Late Night. “But turns out it got her a seat at the Tonys.”
Pink will emcee the awards show on Sunday, June 7, which honors the best Broadway performances of the year, joking to host Seth Meyers that she is “terri-cited” for her big moment.
“I mean, I’ll probably fall, but that’s good,” she said, noting she is equally terrified and excited. “I tell my own audience, ‘If I fall, please laugh so we can move on.’ I’m excited. It’s going to be ridiculous. My one rule was that I have to make fun of myself as soon as I hit the stage, however I hit the stage, and that’s what I’m doing.”
