Patti Scialfa - Personal Life

Personal Life

Scialfa first met Springsteen at the Stone Pony, a New Jersey bar, in the early 1980s.

Although initially reluctant, Scialfa joined the 1988 Tunnel of Love Tour postponing the recording of a solo record. In the spring of 1988, Springsteen separated from his then wife, Julianne Phillips, and Scialfa and Springsteen started living together shortly afterwards. Springsteen and Phillips's divorce was finalized in March 1989.

Scialfa and Springsteen first lived in New Jersey and later in New York for a short time, before moving to Los Angeles where they started a family. On July 25, 1990 Scialfa gave birth to the couple's first child, Evan James Springsteen. The couple married on June 8, 1991 at their Los Angeles home in a ceremony only attended by family and close friends. Their second child, Jessica Rae Springsteen, was born on December 30, 1991; and a third child, Samuel Ryan Springsteen, was born on January 5, 1994. The family returned to New Jersey in the early 1990s and now lives on a horse farm in Colts Neck, New Jersey. They also own homes in Wellington, Florida near West Palm Beach, Los Angeles and Rumson, New Jersey.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:

    Glamour cannot exist without personal social envy being a common and widespread emotion.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    We [actors] are indeed a strange lot! There are times we doubt that we have any emotions we can honestly call our own. I have approached every dynamic scene change in my life the same way. When I married Charlie MacArthur, I sat down and wondered how I could play the best wife that ever was.... My love for him was the truest thing in my life; but it was still important that I love him with proper effect, that I act loving him with great style, that I achieve the ultimate in wifedom.
    Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
