Jessica Springsteen has shared exciting family news, revealing her baby bump in a series of intimate photographs with her partner, Belgian show jumper Nicola Philippaerts, 33. The 34-year-old Olympic equestrian announced on Instagram on October 10, 2026, that they are expecting their first child together. Alongside the photos, the couple kept their announcement short and sweet, writing, \u201cNew adventures \ud83e\udd70\u2764\ufe0f.\u201d Jessica, the only daughter of rock legend Bruce Springsteen and musician Patti Scialfa, received warm wishes from family members and fans. One particularly enthusiastic response came from Alex Springsteen, the wife of Jessica\u2019s younger brother, Sam. \u201cCongratulations!!\u2764\ufe0f We are so excited for you guys\ud83e\udd73\u2764\ufe0f,\u201d Alex commented. Her message reflected the family\u2019s excitement as they prepare to welcome another little one. Bruce and Patti already have one grandchild, Lily Harper, who was born to Sam and Alex in 2022. Jessica\u2019s baby will therefore become their second grandchild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fans also noticed Jessica\u2019s striking resemblance to her mother, with one commenter writing, \u201cLook just like your beautiful mother.\u201d Others praised the expectant parents and wished them a healthy pregnancy. Jessica has built an impressive career in equestrian sports, representing the United States at the Tokyo Olympics and earning a silver medal in team jumping. Nicola also comes from a prominent equestrian family and competes for Belgium at international events. Their happy announcement arrives after a challenging few years for Jessica\u2019s family. Patti revealed in 2024 that she had been living with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, since 2018. In August 2026, Bruce shared encouraging news during a fundraising video, announcing that Patti was in remission and thanking her medical team. Now, Jessica\u2019s pregnancy brings another joyful milestone for the family as Bruce and Patti prepare to embrace grandparenthood once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
