He Had a Love Life, Too
Springsteen dated actress Joyce Hyser for a number of years in the early ‘80s. Before her, he dated photographer Lynn Goldsmith and model Karen Darvin. It was also in the ‘80s that Bruce met Patti Scialfa at The Stone Pony bar in New Jersey. It was during the evening she performed alongside his friend Bobby Bandiera.

Springsteen watched her perform and liked her voice, and after the show, he introduced himself to her. They soon started hanging out together, and in 1984, he asked her to join the E Street Band for their upcoming Born in the USA. Tour. According to Dave Marsh’s book, Bruce Springsteen on Tour 1969–2005, the two seemed like they were on the verge of being a real couple.
