The couple is said to have been dating since 2019.
Onstage at Saturday’s first amfAR Gala Palm Beach honoring Tommy Hilfiger, the fashion designer disclosed that Kraft and his partner Dr. Dana Blumberg had just gotten engaged. This information has been confirmed by Page Six.
The couple had been engaged for a few weeks when Hilfiger broke the news at the event. According to a source, “Tommy Hilfiger was the honoree and Robert and Dana were both chairs of the event for Tommy.”
“[Hilfiger] said his ‘good friend Bob Kraft got engaged to Dr. Dana Blumberg’ at the event on stage, speaking to the whole audience.”
Attendees at the event remarked that Blumberg was sporting “a giant rock,” per another insider. “It looked like it was 10-carats or more… It was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings.”
Their engagement news received mixed reactions from the people of the internet, mostly not in favor of what just happened between the two. As a matter of fact, people are pointing out that Dana is probably a “gold-digging woman.” Others are pointing out the huge age gap between them.
Before her death from ovarian cancer in July 2011 at the age of 68, Kraft was wedded to Myra Hiatt Kraft for over 50 years. A year later, he started dating actress Ricki Lander, however they parted ways in 2018.
He was later accused with two counts of soliciting prostitution in a human trafficking investigation linked to a network of Florida massage parlors in 2019, the same year he started dating Blumberg, as reported by PEOPLE.
The owner of the New England Patriots was reportedly caught on film and audio soliciting a lady at a spa. He disputed the allegations and entered a “not guilty” plea in court. In September 2020, the misdemeanor charges were withdrawn.
