Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, married his longtime love Dana Blumberg in a top-secret ceremony in New York City, while Elton John serenaded the newlyweds.
Friday evening, Kraft, 81, married ophthalmologist Dana Blumberg, 47, at a party billed as a “Kickoff and Touchdown Party.”
The couple, who began dating in 2019, rented the Hall des Lumières in lower Manhattan and told 250 guests to wear holiday attire, according to The New York Post.
The guests, including Jon Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Ari Emanuel, and Oscar-nominated film producer Brian Grazer, were unaware that the couple would marry.
Tom Brady, the former quarterback for the New England Patriots, appeared without his wife Gisele Bundchen amid reports of an impending divorce.
Blumberg wore an ivory bridal gown by Naeem Khan to the event. According to Page Six, she attended the event anonymously wearing an Elie Saab jumpsuit.
Kraft was seen wearing his customary blue sport jacket and RKK Air Force 1 sneakers. Kraft wore an Armani evening blazer for the meal.
At the concert, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, and Meek Mill performed.
The couple rented the Hall des Lumieres in lower Manhattan for their wedding reception, but the guests were unaware.
Robert Kraft, 81, and Dana Blumberg, 47, wed in Manhattan on Friday evening.
According to sources of The Post, guests were shown a 10-minute film of the couple before to their introduction as husband and wife by NFL analyst Al Michaels.
In July, Elton John volunteered to sing at their wedding and the couple organized with him specifically. They provided him with three weeks’ notice, and he selected an available date.
The Post stated that The Rocketman 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 performed “Candle in the Wind” with Ed Sheeran as a duet.
Kraft and Blumberg shared their first dance to Sheeran’s acoustic performance.
Tom Brady, who won the Super Bowl with Kraft’s team, attended the wedding by himself despite rumors that he and his wife Gisele Bundchen were divorcing. On October 9, Brady is spotted playing for his current team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After a performance by rapper Meek Mill, DJ Grandmaster Flash took the turntables.
A friend of the couple told the newspaper, “They wanted to enter into a zone of sharing happiness with one another and bringing people together.”
Myra Kraft, his college sweetheart and philanthropist, was Kraft’s ex-wife.
She died of cancer at the age of 68 in 2011.
