17 Celebrity Wives Who Are Also Homewreckers

16. Patti Scialfa

Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa had a storybook romance, but it was full of drama and rumors of Scialfa’s homewrecking ways. They met in 1984 when Springsteen asked Scialfa to join the E Street Band. The attraction was evident, but in 1985, Springfield asked Julianne Phillips to marry him instead.

Scialfa and Springsteen rekindled their romance while traveling on tour, and his marriage to Phillips was on its last leg due to his touring schedule. After he and Phillips separated, he moved in with Scialfa. His fans were outraged, but The Boss stood by his decision by saying, “It’s a strange society that assumes it has the right to tell people whom they should love and whom they shouldn’t.”

He and Phillips divorced in 1989, he had a son with Scialfa in 1990, and the two were married at their Los Angeles home in 1991.
