N.J. Judge Refuses Gag on 'Other Man' Claim About Bruce Springsteen
Both Bruce Springsteen and a New Jersey woman who knows him because they have patronized the same health club deny that the legendary 59-year-old rocker is the “other man” in her divorce, as her husband claims.
But a judge in New Jersey has refused to issue a confidentiality order concerning the Ocean County divorce case containing Arthur Kelly’s unproven allegations, rejecting a request by a lawyer for his wife, Ann Kelly, with which her husband at least partially agreed, according to the Asbury Park Press and the New York Daily News.
“Family Court is not unique in presiding over cases that involve enormous, personal embarrassment,” says Superior Court Judge Patricia Roe. “Openness is the norm, not the exception.”
Springsteen says he has been happily married for 18 years and is committed to his family.
