Born to Cheat? No Way, Says Bruce Springsteen

The Boss is no homewrecker.

Bruce Springsteen has spoken out about being named the other man in a New Jersey man's divorce filing, denying—just as he did when the first round of affair allegations popped up three years ago—any infidelity against his wife of nearly two decades, Patti Scialfa.

A rep for the "Thunder Road" rocker told the New Jersey Star-Ledger that the singer stands by a statement he issued on his website in August 2006.

"Patti and I have been together for 18 years—the best 18 years of my life," he wrote then—and reiterates now. "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."

In other words, the only place Springsteen's crotch has been that it shouldn't recently is in high definition on millions of TV screens.

"I hesitate to use this website 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," the nearly three-year-old message continues.

"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."

This time around, those rumors were sparked by a March 27 divorce filing by a man named Arthur Kelly, who alleged in court papers that his estranged wife of 17 years, Ann C. Kelly, "has committed adultery with one Bruce Springsteen…at various times and places too numerous to mention."

While the news was grabbing headlines yesterday, Springsteen, the consummate pro, made no mention of the brewing brouhaha at a concert last night in Houston.
