Jessica Springsteen never thought of dedicating herself to the world of music, from a very young age she knew that her world was another, that of horse riding, and, despite her father's fame, she has stayed away from the stage. The legendary singer Bruce Springsteen has chosen Barcelona as the starting signal for his world tour, which will take place at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium this Friday.
The concert will feature two exceptional guests, Barack and Michelle Obama, although we still don't know if Jessica plans to be with her father on this special start to the tour. She has Spanish friends, like Marta Ortega, to whom she joins Jessica, her love for horse riding. And it is that you only have to look at Springsteen's daughter's Instagram for a moment to see what her passion is. At the moment, according to her latest publication on her social networks, she is still in the United States, although she would still have time to fly to Barcelona so as not to miss the concert.
Beyond her father's international fame, Jessica's evident love for horses and her efforts have led the 31-year-old, who regularly competes in show jumping, to a silver medal in the event for teams at the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games. Just a few weeks ago, Jessica placed second alongside Naomi Van Het Keizershof in the CHF37,000 Wellington Equestrian Realty CSI4* during the third week of the Winter Equestrian Festival.
This esteem for the equine breed comes from his childhood surrounded by nature. She grew up on a farm in Rumson, near New Jersey, where she grew up surrounded by animals, as her parents wanted her children to be raised away from the paparazzi harassment so intense that she lived in Los Angeles. Jessica is the daughter of the artist and his second wife, Patti Scialfa, a backing vocalist for the E Street Band, the group that accompanied Springsteen on some tours.
She also has a degree in psychology, worked as a model and was named an equestrian ambassador for Gucci, but it is clear that her greatest achievements have been achieved on horseback. She has been riding a horse since she was four years old and after a lot of effort and dedication she was able to compete in the Olympic Games. She was a substitute rider at the 2012 London Olympics, but this dream did not materialize until a decade later, when she was selected in the United States team to compete in the 2020 Games, which were postponed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 19.
"I can play the piano and I like to listen to music but I don't see myself dedicating myself to it," Jessica also revealed about her skills. Even so, in 2012 her father took her on stage during a concert in Paris and made her dance to Dancing in the Dark. Her father said goodbye to her, proudly telling the public: "That's my girl!"
