3-time Grammy Award winner Pink, age 25, and motocross star Carey Hart, age 29, have been dating for 3 years. Their romance is well known to fans of both. This past weekend Pink took the initiative to make the relationship permanent. Carey Hart was competing in the Pro 250 Finals in Mammoth, California on Sunday. According to eyewitnesses, while Hart was competing laps on the track, Pink wrote on a board in the pit area "Will you marry me?" As he continued for another lap, she turned the board over and wrote "I'm serious." At that point he pullled off the track, embraced her, and answered "Yes."

Pink's last two albums Missundaztood and Try This have reached the top 10 on the albums chart while she has also scored 5 top 10 singles including "Get the Party Started" and "Just Like a Pill." She also participated in the star quartet including Christina Aguilera, Mya, and Lil' Kim that scored a major hit remake of LaBelle's "Lady Marmalade."

Carey Hart is considered a freestyle motocross legend. He is the first to successfully complete a flip in competition even though it left him with compressed vertebrae and torn ligaments. Hart has been competing in motocross since the age of 6.

No dates have been revealed yet for the wedding. Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, and Carey Hart have a relationship that has been stormy at times. Earlier this year they split up briefly after a semi-public spat. Currently they divide their time between homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
