Bruce Springsteen may be known to the world as The Boss, but at home he is simply just 'Dad.'
The iconic rock singer, with more than five decades on the road, is married to fellow E Street Band member Patti Scialfa and together they have three grown-up children - Evan, Jessica and Samuel, RSVP Live reported.
While their father has attained legendary status, the 73-year-old said his children aren't all that bothered with music.

"We had our kids late, I was 40 when our first son was born, and they showed a healthy disinterest in our work over all the years," he told the New York Times in 2017.
He revealed that they had their own musical heroes, and subsequent taste. "They'd be pretty blank-faced if someone mentioned a song title of mine," he admitted.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show in 2022, he mentioned: "Now they have virtually no interest in music or in that part of my life. But as I always say, 'They don't need a hero, they need a father.'"
Patti Scialfa
The couple first met in the early 1980s at a bar.
Patti, a musician herself, joined The Boss and the E Street band as a backup vocalist for their 1984 Born in the USA tour.
It wasn't until 1988 that there was a romantic twist added, following Bruce's split from his first wife Julianne Phillips.
After that, the couple started dating and got married in 1991. They went on to bring three children into the world and have continued to perform together on stage over the years.
Evan Springsteen
Evan Springsteen was bornin July 1990.
Becoming a first-time dad changed the legendary rocker's life forever he said, previously telling Barack Obama on his podcast Renegades: Born in the USA: "That is a gift you get from your children and from your wife. Your acknowledgment of a new self. And the realization of your manhood."
He described the experience as "huge. "
"You know, I woke up. I felt as someone, not necessarily someone different, but someone so much further down the road than I thought maybe I'd ever get," he said.
Evan plays music professionally but prefers a more private lifestyle. However, he still makes it to red carpet events with his family and has even played on stage with his parents.
Jessica Springsteen
The only daughter, Jessica Springsteen was welcomed to the world in December 1991.
She is a professional equestrian, fostering a love for riding horses since a tot on her family's farm in New Jersey.
She graduated from Duke University in 2014, and during her tenure in college made her first bid to represent the United States at the Olympics.
She told PEOPLE at the time that it was an "amazing experience."
"It's so much about timing and having the right horse at the right time, and have everything going well, so it's definitely something that I'm working towards — and will continue working towards until I get there," she said.
She performed at the Olympics with Team USA for Tokyo 2020 winning a silver medal in the team jumping competition.
Samuel Springsteen
Samuel is the baby of the family, born in January 1994.
He graduated from the Monmouth County Fire Acadamy in 2014.
He became a firefighter in New Jersey just four years later after taking an exam.
Lat year Sam made Bruce and Patti first-time grandparents when he welcomed his first child with his partner.
He is dad to Lily Harper Springsteen, and the news was sweetly announced on proud grandmother Patti's Instagram page.
