“Tommy Hilfiger was the honoree and Robert and Dana were both chairs of the event for Tommy. [Hilfiger] said his ‘good friend Bob Kraft got engaged to Dr. Dana Blumberg’ at the event on stage, speaking to the whole audience,” a source told Page Six.
Blumberg, 47, and Kraft, 80, have been dating for some time now, with the engagement occurring a few weeks past. Sources claimed to have seen Blumberg wearing the engagement ring at that same gala. “It looked like it was 10-carats or more…It was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings.”

She specializes in glaucoma and is based in New York, working at New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia.
