Even a superstar like Pink needs to take a mum break!

It’s time to raise your glass to Pink – the singer is keeping it real when it comes to life as a working mum.

The mother-of-two is on tour right now in Europe ahead of her next album release, but she’s not taking time off from her mum duties. She posted a pic to Instagram of her pumping milk while backstage in her London dressing room. Her caption (with a little bit of pun action) read, “And now this #pumpupthejames #mombreak.”

The 37-year-old’s post has resonated with fans everywhere, with many praising Pink’s honesty and for normalising breastfeeding.

“Thanks for sharing real life as a working mom! It helps me get through my own day!,” wrote one Instagram user, while another commented, “Love this @pink you are such an awesome and real role model for girls today! Keep doing you because you are amazing.”

The ‘Don’t Let Me Get Me’ singer, who is also mother to six-year-old Willow Sage, gave birth to her son Jameson Moon Hart eight months ago, and has taken the little tyke on her overseas adventures.

In April, Pink (AKA Alecia Moore) shared a photo of herself breastfeeding Jameson while on a hike, and last month she snapped herself breastfeeding while getting makeup done. The songwriter sure knows how to multitask!

The songstress had taken a break from singing, as her last album release was in 2012 for The Truth About Love. She’s now made her comeback and her new album Beautiful Trauma comes out October 13th.

Pink’s candid snap comes two days after she cleared her 16-year-old feud with Christina Aguilera. The pair sang a cover of ‘Lady Marmalade’ with Lil Kim and Mya in 2001 and allegedly butted heads over who got to sing more lines.

Pink tweeted out, “Want to point out an awful new phenomenon of the last 10 years. We can no longer be happy for each other. I (love) Xtina, we’ve made amends.”
