Who’s the Boss? Well, Bruce Springsteen Is, of Course

Worried About Life as a Father

Bruce and Patti lived in New Jersey before moving to Los Angeles, where they started a family. They had two children together before officially getting married in 1991. On June 8th, 1991, they wed at their Los Angeles home in a private ceremony, with only family and close friends. Their three kids are Evan James, Jessica Rae, and Samuel Ryan.

Considering his strained relationship with his own father, who was riddled with mental illness, he didn’t have much of a role model to work with. He told Gayle King on CBS This Morning: “there were a lot of mistakes I didn’t want to make.”
