Pink Is The Most Darling Mother, Right?

I loved Pink when she sang songs like “Don’t Let Me Get Me” and made me feel like less of an awkward, 12-year-old mess, and I love her now. And just when I thought I couldn’t love her any more, she goes and proves herself to be one of the most kickass moms in Hollywood. If you weren’t convinced yet, check out this precious interview:

On how she wanted her daughter to be born: “We watched Ricki Lake’s documentary The Business of Being Born early on. It was so enlightening and empowering. We took all kinds of classes and decided to work with midwives at The Sanctuary … I was really looking forward to the whole rite of passage — giving birth perfectly present, unmedicated, in the way nature intended.”

On what actually happened: “She was in the frank breech position, which is head up with her legs up by her head in a pike position. We tried everything to turn her around. Turns out this little girl had other plans — she is my daughter, after all. It all turned out perfectly in the end, even though it wasn’t what we intended, because she is healthy and happy and so am I. We’ll go for our natural birth next time, for sure.”

On her daughter, Willow Sage Hart, and her name: “The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It’s the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it — no wind, no elements. It can bend and withstand anything. I love that sentiment. I want that for her. Sage is cleansing and sacred. And it sounded great together. It doesn’t hurt that her last name is Hart — flexible cleansed heart.”

On motherhood: “[Willow's] been amazing. Everyone gives you this terrifying picture of no sleep at all, bickering which leads to divorce … they made it sound like waterboarding. It’s not that bad! I think I’ve cried more than she has and that’s just because I’m emotional and a little nuts.”

On Carey Hart: “Carey is a natural. He calms her down like only my boob can,” Pink jokes, adding that the doting dad wakes for every feeding and diaper change. ”I knew when I met him he’d be a great father, but watching him fall in love, watching him nurture her, I’ve never been so in love with him in my life. He keeps thanking me for giving her to him. It’s a beautiful time.”
