Rock star Bruce Springsteen on Monday said he remains committed to his wife, singer Patti Scialfa, denying reports the pair have split.

“Due to the unfounded and ugly rumors that have appeared in the papers over the last few days, I felt they shouldn’t pass without comment,” he wrote in a posting that appeared on his official Web site, www.brucespringsteen.net. “Patti and I have been together for 18 years — the best 18 years of my life.

“We have built a beautiful family we love and want to protect and our commitment to one another remains as strong as the day we were married,” he wrote.

Springsteen’s statement came after a gossip item, published last Thursday in the New York Post and spread widely in the media, said the couple had separated.
