Bruce Springsteen is an arena rock star and a well-regarded singer-songwriter. His best-known songs chronicle Springsteen’s working-class roots in New Jersey. Bruce Springsteen, also known as “The Boss,” began his career by playing the bar circuit in New Jersey while assembling his famous E Street Band. His breakout 1975 record, Born to Run, united arena rock with human-size tales of working-class America.
With dozens of awards under his belt, including 20 Grammys, and more than 65 million albums sold in the U.S. alone, Springsteen is one of the most successful musicians of all time. Also known for his left-leaning political causes, the artist was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2016.
Who is Patti Scialfa?
Bruce Springsteen is married to Patti Scialfa who was a musician in her own right when they first met in the early 80s. She became a member of the E Street Band in 1984, and the couple wed in 1991. They’ve been happily married since.
Scialfa wasn’t Bruce’s first wife, however. He was married to model Julianne Phillips from 1985 to 1989, but by the time they’d divorced Springsteen had already started a relationship with Scialfa which drew criticism from the media. Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa have had three children together: Evan James Springsteen, Jessica Rae Springsteen, and Samuel Ryan Springsteen.
