Springsteen also described his unhappiness in the relationship in his album Tunnel Of Love, which was released in 1987In his biography Born To Run, Bruce seems to convince himself that Julianne had tried to use him to get further into the career, as he was already an established musician during that point in time. Yet, this was not the fact.
The lack of trust and understanding made the relationship deteriorated, and Bruce became closer to his bandmate, Patti. After sharing the vows with Julianne, The Boss realized his real love was the fierce red-headed bandmate, Patti.
However, Bruce never wished anything wrong for his ex-lover, Julianne. The ex-pair had also kept their separation private until the news about their divorce was released. This public attention towards their personal matter made them both heartbroken at that moment.
