Scialfa first met Bruce Springsteen in the early 1980s at The Stone Pony, a music venue and bar in Asbury Park, New Jersey, where Springsteen and his band regularly played.[12] In 1984, Scialfa postponed recording her solo record to join Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. Tour.[13] After the tour, Scialfa started a short-term relationship with actor Tom Cruise.
In August 1988, Springsteen's first wife Julianne Phillips filed for divorce, and Scialfa and Springsteen started living together afterward in New Jersey and later in New York City before relocating to Los Angeles, where they started a family.[14] Springsteen and Phillips's divorce was finalized in 1989.[14][15]
On July 25, 1990, Scialfa gave birth to the couple's first child, Evan James Springsteen.[14][15] Scialfa and Springsteen married on June 8, 1991, at their Los Angeles home in a ceremony attended by family and close friends.[14][15] Their second child, Jessica Rae Springsteen, was born December 30, 1991,[14][15] and their third child, Samuel Ryan Springsteen, was born January 5, 1994.[14][16] The family returned to New Jersey in the early 1990s and now lives in Colts Neck, New Jersey.[17] They also own homes in Wellington, Florida, near West Palm Beach, and Los Angeles.[18]
On July 17, 2022, Scialfa and Springsteen became first time grandparents with the birth of their granddaughter Lily Harper Springsteen, daughter of their son Sam.[19]
