Robert Kraft marries Dana Blumberg in a ceremony with the stars
He added another ring!
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft married Dr. Dana Blumberg at a surprise wedding in New York City on Friday night, only Page Six found out.
We hear an 81-year-old billionaire and 47-year-old doctor invite guests to a “Kickoff and a Touchdown” party at Hall des Lumières in lower Manhattan and tell them to dress up, but he hasn’t revealed that he was tying the knot.
Sources say the pair showed a touching 10-minute video before they were introduced to a crowd of around 250 as husband and wife by NFL commentator Al Michaels.
Kraft stepped on a glass during a party in line with Jewish tradition and explained its meaning to the congregation (but it is unclear when or where the couple actually said “yes”).
We hear Kraft tell the crowd that the couple came up with plans for a lavish wedding just weeks ago after they went behind the scenes on the final stop of Sir Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
A source told us about the singers of “Rocketman”: “He loved [Blumberg’s] engagement ring. He said, “When are you getting married?”
When the couple said they were thinking of a quiet escape, 75-year-old John apparently told them, “Well, when you get married, I want to play as a gift!”
The couple took advantage of the rock legend’s offer and chose the only date available to John. One of the guests said, “Elton did this simply as a friend and to honor their friendship. They planned this event in about three weeks! “
The Grammy winner first announced the newlyweds as the state Robert Kraft and told a fancy meeting that he flew to the Big Apple only to appear as a wedding gift, the insider said.
Singing began his hour-long performance with “Circle of Life”, followed by “Tiny Dancer”, “Philadelphia Freedom”, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and more. He also did a duet with Ed Sheeran from “Candle in the Wind”.
The spies told us that Sheeran and Meek Mill were the other performers at this elegant celebration. Kraft and Blumberg played their first dance as Sheeran played an acoustic number. Grandmaster Flash DJ ran the party and played hora before it all turned into a big dance party. There was also a seven-fold wedding cake.
Guests, including former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, chewed a variety of foods, from caviar to knish. The 45-year-old NFL pro was all smiling when he arrived without his wife Gisele Bündchen and was seen accompanied by Jon Bon Jovi at the club.
The Buccaneers star was later spotted hugging former quarterback Pats Drew Bledsoe – whom he is famous for replaced in the team – as well as other ex-teammates including Andre Tippett, Vince Wilfork and Richard Seymour.
We hear that powerful players were also involved in this elegant scandal, including NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, Ari Emanuel, David Zaslav, Brian Grazer, Mary Erdoes, Stephen Schwarzman, Ken Langone, Shari Redstone, Lally Weymouth, Michael Rubin , Camille Fishel, Casey Wasserman, and the sons of Kraft, including Patriots president Jonathan Kraft. Country singer Kenny Chesney and retired NFL broadband Randy Moss also appeared on stage.
Another friend said, “They wanted to enter the zone of sharing happiness and bringing people together.”
The bride wore Naeem Khan’s ivory wedding gown when the newlyweds were announced, and arrived in an Elie Saab jumpsuit that she helped design, the source reveals.
Kraft, for its part, wore “his customary blue sports coat,” said a pal, before “changing into a navy velvet Armani tuxedo.” And of course his RKK Air Force 1 [sneakers]”. Kraft is known as the great sneakerhead.
Hall des Lumières – in a building once known as the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank – stayed playing an immersive digital art exhibition“Gustav Klimt: Gold in Motion”.
Kraft’s wedding source said: “They bought the shows for five days and used them essentially as raw space. It really was a great space that they transformed. People would think it is a beautiful house and a warm setting. ”
Page Six only revealed in March that Kraft and Blumberg, a leading ophthalmologist, were engaged after designer Tommy Hilfiger announced the news, and the doctor was then spotted in a “giant stone”.
“It looked like he was 10 carats or more … He was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings,” a shocked source then said about the engagement ring.
Kraft, who has six Super Bowl rings with Patriots, and Blumberg have been dating since 2019, when they were 78 and 45, respectively. They made their public debut as a couple at the French Open in June 2019, and a month later were spotted again at the women’s World Cup finals in Paris.
The couple then began attending major events together, such as the Oscars 2020 and Super Bowl 2022.
Blumberg, a highly respected physician, works at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia.
Kraft was previously married to his college sweetheart and famous philanthropistMyra Kraft, until 2011, when she died of cancer at the age of 68.
