Rock Legend Says His Kids ‘Ignore’ His Success originally appeared on Parade.
Bruce Springsteen is one of the most iconic musicians of all time – but his three kids are unphased by his success.
In and interview with The Times published on Saturday, June 21, the legendary rocker shares that his three kids – Evan, 34, Jessica, 33, and Samuel, 31 – do not display his memorabilia in their New Jersey family home.
“Except for a few guitars and a piano, you wouldn’t know musicians lived here,” Springsteen, 75, said of the home he shares with wife and fellow E Street Band member Patti Scialfa. “The kids grew up in another house in town, a midsized home not unlike the ones their friends lived in, and we tried to keep a very natural domestic existence for them. Anything else is a burden they don’t need.”
Springsteen, who described himself as an “attention whore”, also told The Times that his children couldn’t care less about his musical success.
“They ignore it,” the Born in the U.S.A. singer said. “They might come to a show, bring their friends, but it’s never been a central part of their lives.”
The interview comes shortly after Springsteen’s biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere, started making headlines. The film, which will star The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as the iconic rocker, will offer an intimate look at the making of Springsteen’s album Nebraska, blending his rise to superstardom with a raw glimpse into his early life in Freehold, New Jersey.
Deliver Me From Nowhere will be released in theaters on Oct. 24, 2025.
