New York, April 11 (Inditop) A New Jersey mortgage broker has accused singer Bruce Springsteen of having an affair with his wife.

Arthur Kelly, 45, has filed for divorce from his wife of 17 years, alleging that she was carrying on an affair with Springsteen, who is known by the nickname The Boss.

Springsteen, married to his band mate Patti Scialfa for 18 years, has not commented on the infidelity charges.

But he has said earlier that he and Patti “have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect, and our commitment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married”.

Springsteen and Patti have three children. The singer was earlier married to actress Julianna Phillips, whom he divorced in 1989
