Rocker Bruce Springsteen has been called a home wrecker in a divorce case, according to the The Star-Ledger in New Jersey.
"Businessman Arthur J. Kelly named the Jersey rock 'n' roller as the reason for the breakup of his 17-year marriage to Ann C. Kelly, according to a complaint filed in Superior Court in Monmouth County last month," the newspaper reported Thursday.
According to the story by Mary Ann Spoto, Arthur Kelly alleges that his estranged wife "has committed adultery with one Bruce Springsteen, who resides in Rumson, N.J., and Colts Neck, N.J., at various times and places too numerous to mention."
"Arthur Kelly is seeking joint custody of the couple's two daughters, 13 and 10, and wants his soon-to-be ex to pay child support as well as a portion of the girls' college education, insurance and extracurricular activities and summer camp costs. The complaint also says a temporary restraining order was issued between the couple — though it did not specify on whose behalf — but the order was eventually dismissed March 26 following a consent order. Arthur Kelly filed the request for divorce the next day," the story says.
The New Jersey paper reports that this is not the first time Springsteen, who has been married to E-Street Band member Patti Scialfa for 17 years, has been the subject of alleged infidelity.
"In 2006, published reports claimed he and Scialfa were splitting because of an affair he had with a 9/11 widow he met in 2001 at a television benefit show. He denied that report in a statement on his Web site — space he usually avoids using for personal information. And he has not publicly addressed claims his first marriage, to actress Julianne Phillips, ended after three years because of an affair with Scialfa," the story reads.
Arthur Kelly's attorney, Edward Fradkin, did not return a call for comment.
The Star-Ledger sotry does not indicate if there were attempts to reach Springsteen's attorney.
