Billionaire businessman Robert Kraft, 80, is engaged to glamorous doctor Dana Blumberg

Billionaire businessman and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, 80, is set to wed his 47-year-old doctor girlfriend, it has been revealed. 

Kraft, who is the CEO of the Kraft Group and worth an estimated $8.3 billion, popped the question to leading New York City ophthalmologist Dana Blumberg with a ’10-carat diamond’, one source claims.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, had been keeping their news under wraps but Kraft’s designer pal Tommy Hilfiger, 70, let it slip at the inaugural amfAR Gala Palm Beach event on Saturday.

‘Tommy Hilfiger was the honoree and Robert and Dana were both chairs of the event for Tommy,’ a source told Page Six. 

‘[Hilfiger] said his “good friend Bob Kraft got engaged to Dr Dana Blumberg” at the event on stage, speaking to the whole audience.’

It’s been reported that Kraft proposed with a huge ring that is estimated to be ’10 carats or more’, with one source comparing it to his Super Bowl rings (one of which Blumberg is seen modeling back in 2017, before they began dating)

Another attendee noted Dr Blumberg was wearing ‘a giant rock’ at the gala that looked as though it was ’10 carats or more’, while comparing it to the enormous ‘Super Bowl rings’ sported by Kraft’s Patriots. 

The couple’s wedding will be the second trip down the aisle for Kraft, who was married to his college sweetheart Myra from 1963 until her death from cancer in 2011. 

Kraft had four sons with Myra, all of whom are older than Blumberg: Jonathan, 58, Daniel, 56, Joshua, 54, and David, 50. 

One year after his wife passed away, the New England Patriots started dating actress Ricki Noel Lander, now 42; it is thought they parted ways in 2018. 

Kraft knew Dr Blumberg as a friend for several years before they started dating. The pair posed for photos together at a 2017 event for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, however they are not thought to have begun dating until 2019. 

Dr Blumberg is one of the top ophthalmologists in the US and is based at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia.

They confirmed their romantic relationship in 2019, when they held hands at the French Open. A month later they were spotted in the stands at the final of the Women’s World Cup in Paris.

By early 2020, the couple were walking the red carpet together at Sir Elton John’s Oscars party. 

A source told Page Six at the time: ‘They’re serious, as the kids would say, “They’re going steady!” They’ve been dating for almost a year now and they’re happy.’

In 2019, the same year that he began dating Blumberg, Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting prostitution in connection with a human trafficking sting tied to a chain of Florida massage parlors.  

Ultimately, no charges were filed by prosecutors, who admitted in April of that year that there was not enough evidence to prove their initial claims that the Orchids of Asia Day Spa was operating a human trafficking ring.

Kraft denied and pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charges, which were dropped in September 2020. 

Details of the wedding have yet to emerge but it is likely to be a star-studded extravaganza. 

Billionaire Kraft celebrated his 80th birthday last year with a surprise party hosted by fellow NFL owner Michael Rubin in his Hamptons mansion.

Guests including Adele, Bon Jovi and Gayle King, were treated to a performance by Lionel Richie. 

The birthday boy was also presented with a $300,000 Bentley as a gift from friends including Rubin, Jay-Z and Meek Mill.
