Musician Bruce Springsteen, well known as The Boss, has been named as 'the other man' in divorce papers filed on March 27th in Monmouth County, New Jersey.

Arthur Kelly alleges that his wife Ann, of 17 years, "committed adultery with one Bruce Springsteen, who resides in Rumson, N.J., and Colts Neck, N.J., at various times and places too numerous to mention."

The father of the wife, Stephen Carton, says these charges are "just not true. My daughter is guilty only of working out in the same gym as Bruce Springsteen and of talking to him."

A Springsteen representative says that he stands by the statement he posted on his website, brucespringsteen.net, in August 2006.

Romours were abuzz at that time of another affair.

"I hesitate to use this website for anything personal believing it should remain a place where fans of my music can come free of the distractions that occasionally arise with the rest of my job," he wrote at that time.

"However, due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have appeared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn't pass without comment. Patti and I have been together for 18 years -- the best 18 years of my life. We 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 has been married to his wife Patti Scialfa since 1991, and they have three children.
