Kraft, 80, has been dating Dr. Dana Blumberg, 47, since 2019. They were first spotted together at the French Open in June of that year.
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!’”
Page Six reports Hilfiger’s announcement of the engagement was “unexpected.”
“Tommy Hilfiger was the honoree and Robert and Dana were both chairs of the event for Tommy,” a source told Page Six. “[Hilfiger] said his ‘good friend Bob Kraft got engaged to Dr. Dana Blumberg’ at the event on stage, speaking to the whole audience.”
Saturday’s amfAR Gala event honored fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger and featured performers such as Christina Aguilera.
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.”

Dr Dana Blumberg is an eye doctor who specialises in Glaucoma, Cataract Surgery, and Diabetic Eye Disease/Retinopathy.
