The former motocross competitor, 49, spoke to PEOPLE about his plans for the holiday season in November. Although he confesses it’s not his favorite time of year, Hart saysPinkand their two children help him get in the spirit.
“I’m a total Grinch,” he laughs. “My kids have brought me around, and as my wife likes to say, she’s the most Christmas happy Jew you’ll ever meet. Kids have changed my temperature, so I just enjoy hanging with my family.”
“I’ve come around to the Christmas traditions and I’m looking forward to it this year,” he adds.

“My wife, she always says, ‘You’re an idiot,’” he jokes. “I hear it from her quite often!”
“I do a lot of dumb s— though,” he continues, going on to say that she still supported his decision to join the competition show. “I’m just pretty loose still even pushing 50. So she’s like, ‘You’re an idiot, but you’re going to do what you’re going to do and go get after it.’”

Hart and Pink have been married for 18 years and share daughterWillow Sage, 13, and sonJameson Moon, 8 this week. Since their first meeting in 2001, their relationship has gone through its ups and downs.
“Marriage isn’t easy, and it’s constantly coming back to the table and communication and give and take and having a partner,” he tells PEOPLE.
The pair briefly split in 2003 before getting married in 2006. In 2008, they announced another separation but later reconciled in 2009, just one year before getting pregnant with their first child.
In 2021, the Grammy winner explained how her relationship with Hart had evolved over the years in anexclusive interview with PEOPLE.
“We’ve really grown up together,” she said. “When you first get together, you look at that person as your entire world. One person can’t be your entire world. You have to have your own passions, your own friends, your own time to yourself. I used to be super needy. Now we expect less of each other, and that allows us to give each other more somehow.”
