Pink: 'I'm a reformed slut' who dated 'N Sync's Joey Fatone

In her new cover story in
Glamour magazine,
Pink talks about a variety of topics, from having a family, to why sex is a frequent topic in her latest album, "The Truth About Love." "I'm a reformed slut," the singer says. However, she chooses that word for a very specific reason.

"It's my very unsophisticated way of taking the power back," she says regarding her use of the word, explaining, "I've always had an issue with [the notion that], 'OK, we've both decided to do this. Why am I a slut and you're the player? You didn't get anything from me that I didn't get from you.'"

She also talks about dating a member of 'N Sync for a period of time. "
Joey Fatone was in love with me," she reveals, "He took me to Friendly's on a date and he bought me an ice cream. Such a sweetheart. He asked my dad's permission!"

These days, though, Pink's life is very different from what it used to be. In addition to her music career, she's a mother to 23-month-old
Willow Sage, her daughter with husband
Carey Hart. The couple wed in 2006. After working through a separation early in their marriage, Pink says now the couple is great. "We're good because we communicate and we've grown up together, not because we don't fight." As for motherhood, Pink has some serious maternal instincts. For proof of that, look no further than how she treated a little girl in the crowd at one of her shows,
when she began to cry.
