Bruce Springsteen Named as The “Other Man” in a Divorce

Bruce Springsteen has been named as the “other man” in a divorce.

Businessman Arthur J Kelly has cited the singer as the reason for the break-up of his 17-year marriage to mum-of-two Ann.

Court papers filed by Kelly in New Jersey claim Springsteen, 59, had a long affair with Ann.

Springsteen’s publicist has since told People magazine that Springsteen — nicknamed The Boss — stands by a statement he released in August 2006 — when reports surfaced that he was involved in another alleged affair — which says his commitment to wife Patti Scialfa “remains as strong as the day we were married.”

“I hesitate to use this Web site for anything personal believing it should remain a place where fans of my music can come free of the distractions that occasionally arise with the rest of my job,” Springsteen wrote on his Web site at the time. “However, due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have appeared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn’t pass without comment. Patti and I have been together for 18 years – the best 18 years of my life. We have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect and our commitment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married.”
