Inside Robert Kraft and Dana Blumberg’s relationship as Patriots owner, 80, gets engaged to 47-year-old girlfriend

PATRIOTS owner Robert Kraft is set to add another ring to his collection, as he's engaged to girlfriend Dana Blumberg.

Kraft, 80, and ophthalmologist Blumberg, 47, have reportedly been together since 2019, when they made their debut at the French Open.

The couple's friend Tommy Hilfiger revealed the engagement at the inaugural amfAR Gala in Palm Beach on Saturday, reported.

However, the pair have reportedly been engaged for a few weeks.

A source told Page Six that Blumberg's engagement ring "was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings.”

Kraft was previously married to high school sweetheart Myra Hiatt Kraft for nearly 50 years, before the famed philanthropist died in 2011 from ovarian cancer.

A year later Kraft began dating actress Ricky Lander but they split in 2018.

The following year, the billionaire was first linked to Blumberg when they were spotted holding hands at the French Open in June 2019.

The romance continued heating up, and a month later they were seen at the Women’s World Cup soccer finals in Paris.

Later that summer, the couple attended the annual Apollo in the Hamptons bash at Ronald Perelman’s estate.

In early 2020, they posed for photos together at Elton John's Oscars bash in Los Angeles.

Dr Blumberg is an associate professor of ophthalmology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital - Columbia.

She has accompanied Kraft to many Patriots games and the Super Bowl.

Kraft owns the Kraft Group, which comprises different business ventures in sectors such as real estate development, sports and entertainment, and a private equity portfolio.

Most importantly, he is the owner of the NFL team, New England Patriots, the owner of the MLS team, New England Revolution, and the e-sports team, Boston Uprising.

His management has overseen the New England Patriots winning six Super Bowl rings since he took ownership in 1994.

Back in 2019, Kraft was lassoed into a sprawling investigation into a Jupiter, Florida, massage parlor for prostitution and human trafficking. 

The case ended without any significant convictions.

Originally Kraft stood accused of engaging in sex acts at the spa on multiple days back in January 2019 - including the morning of the AFC Championship Game, when his Patriots defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. 

Kraft pleaded not guilty — but apologized publicly in March 2019.

He had faced a misdemeanor charge of soliciting, but it was dropped by prosecutors in September 2020 after a judge ruled that covert video footage taken from inside the parlor was inadmissible as evidence.

The Florida 4th District Court of Appeal found that Jupiter police violated the rights of Kraft and other customers when they secretly installed video cameras inside massage rooms at the spa in early 2019
