"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.

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he plans to host a UFC mixed martial arts event at the White House grounds and multiple other special events across the country next year—including an athletic competition called the 'Patriot Games'—as part of a celebration marking 250 years of American independence. President Donald Trump has been seen at multiple UFC events in the recent years, the the promotion's ... More president Dana White has been among his most prominent supporters. POOL/AFP via Getty Images Speaking to supporters at a rally in Iowa on Thursday evening, Trump said he plans to host 'some incredible events' across the country next year to mark the 250th anniversary of its independence. 'We're going to have a UFC fight. We're going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House,' the president told his supporters, adding: 'We have a lot of land there.' Trump said UFC President Dana White will build the setup for the event and added it's going to be a 'championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we're going to do that as part of '250' also.' White reshared a video of the president's announcement on Instagram and wrote, 'This will be EPIC,' while the official UFC page asked followers, 'Who would you like to see headline the event?' In addition to the UFC event, Trump also said he plans to host a competition called the 'Patriot Games' as part of the 'America 250 celebration,' which will invite 'top high school athletes from all 50 states to participate in a nationally televised sporting event.' Trump has been a regular attendee at UFC fighting events in recent years. Most recently, the president attended the UFC 316 event last month, held at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Trump was also in attendance at UFC 314, which took place in April at Miami's Kaseya Center, alongside Elon Musk and several cabinet members. White has been a long-time supporter of Trump and has spoken at several of his rallies and events. During his announcement on Thursday, Trump praised the UFC President and said, 'Dana is great, one of a kind.'

Diddy insider Mark Geragos admits 'the only thing' that surprised him about the verdict
Sean "Diddy" Combs was acquitted Wednesday of racketeering and sex trafficking charges following a two-month-long federal trial. Backed by a "dream team" group of defense lawyers, the rapper was facing life in prison if convicted of the three charges, but a jury handed down a guilty verdict on two of the lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. High-profile criminal defense lawyer Mark Geragos – a longtime Diddy acquaintance and father of lead attorney, Teny Geragos – closely followed the case, and told Fox News Digital that the jury "absolutely" made the right decision. More than 10 hours into deliberations, the 12-person jury told Judge Arun Subramanian Tuesday that "unpersuadable" opinions prevented them from reaching a unanimous verdict on the biggest charge. Multiple notes were passed to the court from the jurors, with Judge Subramanian ultimately advising continued deliberations until a verdict was reached. While it was unclear at the time what the verdict was, Geragos admitted to feeling somewhat uneasy. "When I heard they were hung on the RICO and had verdicts on the other four, at first I was not confident until I read the note," Geragos said. "Once I read that note, I figured at that point that they would … I thought that they would hang on because, you know, they use the term, unpersuadeable jurors on both sides. "That indicated to me that they had split the verdicts on the other four counts. The only thing that surprised me is how quickly they came back on the RICO with a not guilty." The following morning, roughly two hours into deliberations, jurors reached a verdict and found Diddy not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, with guilty verdicts on both counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The judge joked that he assumed Diddy did not want to return to MDC Brooklyn, to which the rapper shook his head very exaggeratedly and then looked up with his hands together as if praying. After the judge left, Diddy knelt down with his arms on the chair in front of him. He then got up, faced the gallery and started clapping. The courtroom opened up in applause and cheers for him. WATCH: Criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos weighs in on Diddy trial A hearing next week will determine a sentencing date where Diddy could face up to 20 years in prison. The government requested a term between 51-63 months, while Diddy's defense is seeking a 21-27 month term. Still, Geragos guessed both of those numbers were far off base. "Frankly, I think this case isn't worth anywhere close to either of those calculations. But even if he gets it, he's a prime candidate for some of the federal programs that are out there actually initiated by this administration and this administration's prior iteration," Geragos said. "So there are programs there that he could take advantage of, and I'm sure he will. I mean he's had enormous amount of time – I call it a time out – and he's used it productively. He's reading, he's thinking, he is talking. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but I think in retrospect, when he's out, it'll be very, very productive." It's unclear when Diddy will be sentenced and what term he faces following the court victory, which Geragos chalked up to the defense team setting the framework before testimony even began. "I've always said that cases like this are won or lost in jury selection, and so I think that the jury selection was instrumental," Geragos said. "And then look, I'm biased. I think that my daughter delivered the opening statement and, frankly, from where I sat, and I watched it, I don't think the prosecution ever recovered from that opening statement. There are a lot of studies that say jurors make up their minds 90% of the time after the close of the opening statement." Geragos added, "And by the way, I don't want to denigrate Mark Agnifalo. He did a tour de force on that closing that had him literally rolling in the aisles. So it was a pretty amazing book end." During opening statements of Diddy's trial, which began on May 5, Teny asked the jury to consider the federal charges, not the choices of an at-times violent man. "Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case," Teny told the court. "This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity and money. This case is about voluntary adult choices made by capable adults and consensual relationships. This case is about those real-life relationships, and the government is trying to turn those relationships into a racketeering case, a prostitution case and a sex trafficking case. It will not work." She noted that Diddy "has a bad temper" and at times gets "so angry or so jealous that he is out of control," but she emphasized that the "Victory" rapper was not charged with "being mean." "He is not charged with being a jerk. He's charged with running a racketeering enterprise," Teny said. "And though there was violence that you are going to hear about, you already have, that violence is not part of any RICO. That violence is not connected to sex trafficking and that violence is not prostitution."
