From The Independent. This is so not cool:

The strange case of the Boss, his women and an obsession with 9/11
Bruce Springsteen is reported to have split from his wife to spend time with a World Trade Center widow

...The singer was yesterday reported to have split from his wife of 15 years, the songwriter and backing singer Patti Scialfa, after developing a friendship with a widow of one of the 9/11 victims he met at a TV benefit show.

"The Boss" - one of the world's best known musicians and a hero of liberal America for many years - and Scialfa are said to be this weekend leading separate lives.
Springsteen is reported to have met the, as yet unnamed, woman in 2001 when he organised the charity telethon event America: A Tribute to Heroes. Rumours about problems within the singer's marriage started after Springsteen was spotted in the company of the widow on a number of occasions.

Yesterday, all members of Springsteen's entourage were under strict orders to say nothing about the reports, which surfaced in the New York Post.

"Bruce and Patti are separated but everyone has been sworn to secrecy," said a "friend" of the couple, who have three children - teenagers Evan and Jessica Rae, and their youngest, Sam.

Springsteen and the woman - who, like his wife and bandmate, is a redhead - are said to have been seen out together at an upmarket beach in Monmouth, New Jersey, and at the Stone Pony, a nearby watering hole where Springsteen has played impromptu gigs. There are also reports that he has been spending less time at the family home and more time at a guest house on the couple's nearby farm.

But other friends say the singer might still rescue his relationship with his wife. Springsteen took a holiday with Scialfa and their children in New York State last month, but recently he has been spotted alone with his children at a local beach.
