See Michelle and Barack Obama’s Off-Duty Family Portrait With Daughters Malia and Sasha
Bruce Springsteen and his wife Patti Scialfa are the Obamas’ couple-in-chief.
Michelle Obama revealed that she and her husband Barack Obama often turn to the “Dancing in the Dark” rocker and E Street Band member when they need advice on how to navigate their relationship in the public eye.
“I marvel at you and Patti and the work that you all have done,” the former first lady told Bruce during the June 11 episode of her IMO podcast. “You and Patty have been couple mentors for me and Barack for quite some time.”
Noting that she’s been watching the musically-inclined duo—who wed in 1991 and share kids Evan Springsteen, 34, Jessica Springsteen, 33, and Samuel Springsteen, 31—as they “do the work,” Michelle went on to describe reaching out for advice from the pair on “how to keep those lines of communication open.”
“You got two powerful people in you and Patty,” she told Bruce before highlighting their ability to “merge” their lives together seamlessly. “You’re both powerhouses in your own right.”
