Springstee­n’s polo love match

-

TALK about a “stable” relationsh­ip. Sources exclusivel­y tell Page Six that Jessica Springstee­n — the showjumpin­g champion daughter of Bruce Springstee­n and Patti Scialfa — is dating Argentinab­orn polo stud Nic Roldan, who was named one of Town & Country’s “Top 50 Bachelors” alongside Prince Harry, Leo DiCaprio and Pierre Casiraghi last year.

Spies said Floridabas­ed Roldan, 32, was seen at the Palm Beach Winter Equestrian Festival last weekend, “cheering on” Springstee­n, 23, who’s been racking up wins on horse Davendy S.

An equestrian spy said of the new relationsh­ip, “It’s been going on a few weeks . . . they get along really well since they both are in the equine industry,” and, “They seem to ‘get’ each other.” Our source added, “He is definitely smitten.”

Another horsy spy pointed out, however, that within the exclusive equestrian world, show jumping and polo are “totally different worlds with different circuits.” But Roldan recently posted an Instagram pic of himself on a showjumpin­g course with this message to Springstee­n: “Coach we r ready for this @jsprings.” Springstee­n playfully responded, “So ready! gotta get u some breeches though no jeans in the show ring @nicroldan.”

Springstee­n is part of a haute horseridin­g set of scions who include Georgina Bloomberg (who has a child with Argentine equestrian Ramiro Quintana), Paige Johnson (whose parents founded BET), Steven Spielberg’s daughter Destry and Bill Gates’ daughter Jennifer.

Striking Jessica was an alternate rider for the 2012 US Olympic team, and is also a Gucci equestrian ambassador.

Roldan, who also models, is a founding member of Aspen Polo Club, owns about 30 polo ponies and comes from a poloplayin­g dynasty. In a 2013 article he revealed he was single, but said he “hopes to have his own family, eventually, perhaps pass the polo tradition on to a fourth generation.” That kid could have some serious genes — or, rather, breeches.

Reps for the couple didn’t comment.
