Robert Kraft and Dr Dana Blumberg began dating in 2017 and planned to get married in October 2022.
Dana Blumberg and Kraft married in a surprise ceremony on Oct. 14, 2022, in front of a slew of A-list guests, including Tom Brady and Jon Bon Jovi.
Other significant guests were Kenny Chesney, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, among others.
According to a guest, most attendees were taken completely by surprise. “The majority of the attendees had no idea it was a wedding ceremony. We thought it was a party until we went upstairs — and a screen opened, revealing Robert and Dana. She was dressed in a wedding gown, and Elton John introduced them as ‘husband and wife.’ After which, Meek Mill wrote that song for them, which he performed alongside Ed Sheeran “as backup,” a source shared.
Kraft and John set up the singer’s appearance just a few weeks earlier while backstage during one of his concerts said the sources. The Patriots owner and John are “very good friends,” sources revealed.
Mill posted a picture on Instagram from the celebration, posing alongside John and Sheeran. “Sounds forever @teddysphotos @eltonjohn,” he captioned his Instagram post. Mill and Kraft have been friends for decades, and the rapper even colluded with Michael Rubin and JAY-Z to buy Kraft a Bentley for his 80th birthday in 2021.
