NEW YORK:

Rocker Bruce Springsteen’s 15-year marriage to Patti Scialfa seems to in trouble as they are virtually living separate lives. According to pagesix.com, the main problem seems to be a friendship Springsteen developed with a beautiful 9/11 widow whom he met while he organised the ‘America: A Tribute to Heroes’ show. A friend said, “They’re separated, but everyone has been sworn to secrecy. We’re not supposed to talk about it.” Springsteen has been spotted with the widow several times at the Beacon Hill Beach Club in New Jersey. Another friend refuted the rumours and said, “He’s just a really big flirt. There’s nothing going on.” Yet another friend added, “Bruce and Patti are very much partners. They go at it a lot and fight, but they also work at it a lot ... Patti is a strong woman. They are not going anywhere.”
