For the first time, freestyle motocross champion Carey Hart has lifted the veil of silence on the breakup of his marriage to pop-punk princess Pink. Our tattooed hometown hero admitted that they’re still the best of friends and he’s in no hurry to start dating again! The rock ‘n’ roll couple’s romance began after meeting at the 2001 X-Games. After a brief breakup in 2003, they resumed dating and were married two years ago in South America. However, reports surfaced last summer that there was trouble when 32-year-old stuntman Carey wasn’t at his wife’s side during her European tour. Then gossips reported he was enjoying the party scene at various Los Angeles nightclubs. But the 28-year-old singer has previously stood by her man saying, “Our breakup was not about cheating, anger or fighting. He’s a good man.”

Carey told me when we chatted at the opening of Robert DeNiro’s new Ago restaurant in the Hard Rock Hotel: “In fact, it’s too early to go off dating again. Anyway, I have no real interest in that. She is still the love of my life and we remain the best of friends and talk all the time.”

In mid-June, Carey will open a new rock music club at the Hard Rock.

“That’s my main priority right now. I’m devoted to getting it ready for my Hard Rock partners,” he said. “Look, I’m even wearing the first tee-shirt for it—Wasted Space. Think of it as an up-market Viper Room from the Hollywood strip. It’ll be dark with a lot of loud rocking music. It’s everything a decadent rocker’s well-stocked bar should be, with a very comfortable but gritty atmosphere. You have to come when we open.”

Carey, who really is a nice guy, made me promise—and I did!
