Pink was 'extremely sick' according to husband Carey Hart, singer speaks candidly to Ellen

Pink's battle with coronavirus was "intense" according to her husband.

The Raise Your Glass hitmaker previously revealed she and her 3-year-old son Jameson - her youngest child with husband Carey Hart - had contracted the highly contagious respiratory condition, also known as Covid-19.

And now Hart - who also has daughter Willow, 8, with Pink - has opened up on watching his wife and son battle the virus, which left them "extremely sick".

The retired motocross star said: "It was intense. They both got extremely sick. My son probably got the worst of the two of them and it debunks the whole theory that this only hits old people."

Hart, 44, explained Pink - whose real name is Alecia Moore - "got it pretty bad" as she already suffers from asthma, which affects her breathing.

He added: "She has asthma and it totally attacked her lungs and her chest. She was having a hard time breathing."

The whole family have been self-isolating since the middle of March, and Hart says it was a few days after they went into "full quarantine" that Pink and Jameson started to feel ill.

The sports star said: "We've been in full quarantine since I got back from Daytona Bike Week, which was on the 11th of March. Leading up to that, my wife, well, basically my family, they hadn't even left our house just because … there's not much reason to leave our house.

"We're just kind of homebodies. So, they've been pretty locked down since about the third or fourth of last month."

And Hart also said both he and Willow have had "zero symptoms", but insisted they still quarantined themselves just in case.

Speaking to SiriusXM's The Jason Ellis Show, he said: "I have zero symptoms. My daughter had zero symptoms. Unfortunately, we only had access to a test for my wife … But I don't really feel that we need it more because, you figure, the four of us on top of each other for a couple weeks at this point, if one of us has it all of us have it. I mean, you have to kind of assume that."

Meanwhile, Pink opened up in a candid interview with Ellen DeGeneres about the entire experience with Covid-19.

Explaining how Jameson fell ill first, she told talk show host: "At a certain point around March 18, March 19, March 20, when his fever was staying and going up. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breathe."

The 40-year-old star's breathing became so difficult, she required a nebuliser - a device which turns medicine into an inhalable mist - "for the first time in 30 years" and "couldn't function without" her inhaler.

She admitted: "That's when I started to get really scared."

Pink's son then began to complain of "chest pain" and experienced breathing difficulties.

She recalled: "That's the point where you are just kind of like, OK are we going to the hospital? Like what are we doing right now? Because this is the scariest thing I've ever ever been through in my whole life."

Thankfully, the pair have since retested negative for the illness and Pink - who also has daughter Willow, eight, with Carey - has donated $1 million to coronavirus relief in order to help those who don't have access to the same resources she does.

She previously said: "In an effort to support the healthcare professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day, I am donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honour of my mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center.

"Additionally, I am donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor's Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.

"THANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones. You are our heroes! These next two weeks are crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.(sic)”
