Who is Bruce Springsteen's wife, Patti Scialfa? Exploring their relationship timeline and life together
Bruce Springsteen and wife Patti Scialfa have been together for some 30 years now, let’s look back at their relationship over the years.
Bruce Springsteen is probably one of the most iconic singers in America. His songs have moved several generations and are admired by everyone, from normal music-loving folks to the country’s Presidents. The singer’s private life though is often absent from much discussion, it’s probably because he has been in a stable marriage with wife Patti Scialfa for about 30 years now and still going strong.
Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa’s simple yet endearing relationship
Bruce Springsteen first met Patti Scialfa in a local bar in the early 80s, where their love for music and the fact that they were both performers, led to an easy friendship between the two. Over time, the friendship was converted into a shared passion and collaboration as Patti Scialfa joined Springsteen’s E Street band on their Born in the USA tour in 1984.
The two friends and vocalists had insane chemistry on and off stage during the performances that they did in the 80s. For the longest time, only their friendship remained but soon in 1988, when the I’m On Fire singer divorced his first wife, Julianne Philips, the pair started going out together.
The pair started living together in the same year and had stayed in different cities over the years, from New Jersey to NYC and Los Angeles. In 1991, they officially got married in California.
The pair also raised three children together, Evan, Jessica, and Samuel who went on to become successful in their own right being a musician, an Olympic equestrian, and a firefighter.
