Pink is placing nurse – albeit Nurse Ratchet – for her husband Carey Hart, after he underwent surgery.

The former professional freestyle motocross star went under the knife to fix a torn rotator cuff on Wednesday, and his wife of 14 years informed fans that the operation was a success.

Pink, 40, took a picture of Carey, 45, sitting up in his hospital bed with a bandaged shoulder, and while he was wearing a face mask, it was clear he was beaming away under there.

The Just Like A Pill singer wrote: ‘My man baby. I love him so. Successful surgery and now, let the healing begin. #bionicman #rotatorcuff #nurseratchetwillseeyounow.’

Pink and Carey’s celeb friends left well wishes in the comments, with Selma Blair writing: ‘Thank goodness.’

And Kristen Bell, whose husband Dax Shepard last week broke bones in a motorcycle accident, commented: ‘Gurl. Same. The doctor put a CAN OPENER in my husband’s shoulder last week to get it to work again.’

Hart shared the same picture to his own Instagram and praised his wife for her care, writing: ‘Surgery was a success!!! Thanks so much to my amazing wife and nurse, @pink . She is my rock when I’m banged up. Time to get on the mend.’

The daredevil had previously shared that he had to undergo a Covid-19 test before his operation, as well as being fitted for a sling.

While Carey needed to go under the knife to get his shoulder fixed, he’s hardly been sitting around in anticipation of the op, as last week he, Pink and their kids Willow, nine, and Jameson, three, were out wakeboarding on a lake on a family getaway.

Pink, real name Alecia Moore, and Carey met way back in 2001 at the X Games in Philadelphia, and in 2005, the popstar decided to propose in the most badass way possible – by holding up a sign reading: “Will you marry me? I’m serious!’ while Hart was racing.

He initially didn’t notice and did another lap, but once he did he veered off track and said yes – before his bride-to-be made him finish the race because she ‘didn’t want to marry a loser’.

Pink and Carey tied the knot in Costa Rica the following year, but in 2008, they announced they had separated, with Hart appearing in Pink’s video for So What, featuring the lyrics: ‘I guess I just lost my husband, I don’t know where he went.’

However, the pair underwent marriage counselling and in 2009 they had reunited, going on to welcome their first child together the following year. 

While Pink is looking after her ‘bionic man’ in hospital’, Hart is his wife’s biggest cheerleader, even starring in her videos for Just Give Me A Reason and True Love.
