Pink lands People's Beautiful Issue cover (with her two kids)

'It's a wonderful time that we're celebrating all different kinds of people,' the singer said in an interview.|

Grammy-winning pop singer Pink is the 2018 cover star of People magazine's Beautiful Issue.

Pink, real name Alecia Moore, landed the annual cover with her husband, Carey Hart and two children - daughter Willow, 6, and son Jameson, 15 months, whom she speaks about at length in her feature interview.

“I feel more beautiful, and I've decided that for the whole week the magazine is out, no one is allowed to look me directly in my eyes,” the singer joked when host Ellen DeGeneres broke the news on her show (airing Wednesday).

Appearing via livestream from Washington, D.C., while on her theatrical Beautiful Trauma Tour, Pink told the host that she “laughed out loud” when People called her with the news. She credited her kids for securing the deal.

“I love the way things are changing, and I love that our perception of beauty has completely been knocked on its head,” the 38-year-old said. “There's nothing wrong with beautiful. And there's nothing wrong with beautiful on the inside, beautiful on the outside. It's all different shades. It's all different sizes. It means whatever it means to you.”

The self-aware star, addressing how her edgy look has redefined traditional standards of beauty, said her sense of humor is the best part about it all.

“It's a wonderful time that we're celebrating all different kinds of people,” she said.

Pink launched on the music scene in 2000 with her debut single, “There You Go,” and has reinvented her sound and look multiple times over the past two decades. She's earned three Grammy Awards along the way and used her fame to advocate for animal rights and other social issues.

Ironically, People's honorific award was bestowed on someone who told the mag she doesn't believe in labels, explaining that she strives to create an empowering gender-neutral environment for her family.

But, she said, “I feel like gender-neutral is in itself a label, and I'm label-less,” she said. “I don't like labels at all, so I believe that a woman and a girl can do anything.”
