Say it ain’t so, Boss! A New Jersey man says his marriage was derailed due to an inapproriate relationship between his wife and proud Garden State native son Bruce Springsteen.
In divorce proceedings last month, Arthur Kelly, 46, claims his once solid marriage to wife of nearly 18 years, Ann, shot to hell after she met the singer at the Atlantic Club Gym in Red Bank, New Jersey in 2006.
A relationship that allegedly began over flirty workouts at the fitness center led to the end of Ann’s marriage, Arthur claims. The “Dancing in the Dark” crooner, 60, has been married to wife Patti Scialfa (a deadringer for Ann) for 18 years and denies any sexual relationship or emotional affair with Ann Kelly. Nonetheless, Springsteen is accused of treating the pampered housewife to lunches, giving her free front-row concert tickets, telling her he thought about her while on tour, sending her unsigned, unstamped Valentines Day cards, and complimenting her magnificent derriere.
Ann Kelly, 45, has pooh-poohed claims that her friendship with the rock legend KO’ed her marriage. The Kellys divorce will be finalized later this week.
