Tommy Hilfiger Announces Robert Kraft Is Engaged to Girlfriend Dana Blumberg

Robert Kraft proposed to his girlfriend Dr. Dana Blumberg with a diamond to rival his Super Bowl rings.

At the inaugural amfAR Gala Palm Beach event on Saturday honoring Tommy Hilfiger, the fashion designer unexpectedly broke the big news on stage that the duo are betrothed. A source told Page Six, “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.”

The pair has apparently been engaged for a couple weeks now and a second insider confirmed to the outlet that Blumberg was wearing “a giant rock at the gala.” They added, “It looked like it was 10-carats or more…It was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings.” The 80-year-old Patriots owner and Blumberg have reportedly been dating since 2019 when they were first spotted holding hands at the French Open. Kraft and the 47-year-old eye doctor were seen out together again a month later in Paris at the Women's World Cup soccer finals. And, by early 2020, the couple were posing for photos at Sir Elton John's Oscars party with a source telling Page Six at the time, “They’re serious, as the kids would say, ‘They’re going steady!’”

Blumberg is one of the top ophthalmologists in the country and based at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia. Kraft was married for almost 50 years to his college sweetheart Myra Kraft, who died in 2011 from ovarian cancer. A year later, the billionaire began dating actress Ricki Lander, but they broke up in 2018.
