Patriots owner Robert Kraft gets married with Sir Elton John as musical entertainment

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft married Dr. Dana Blumberg Friday in New York, Page Six of the New York Post reported.

Per Page Six:

We hear the 81-year-old billionaire and 47-year-old doctor invited guests to a “Kickoff and a Touchdown” party at the Hall des Lumières in lower Manhattan and told them to dress festively, but did not disclose that they’d be tying the knot.

Sources say the couple showed a moving 10-minute video before they were introduced to the crowd of about 250 as husband and wife by the voice of NFL commentator Al Michaels.

Kraft is 81 and his bride is 47.

The Post reported the plans came together after a recent Elton John concert at Gillette Stadium.

Sir Elton provided the entertainment at the bash, playing for an hour.

The crooner kicked off 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 of “Candle in the Wind.”

Other performers at the elegant celebration included Sheeran and Meek Mill, spies told us. Kraft and Blumberg had a first dance as Sheeran played an acoustic number. Grandmaster Flash DJ’d the event and played the hora before it all turned into a big dance party. There was also a seven-tired wedding cake.

Despite the Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing Sunday against the Steelers in Pittsburgh, Tom Brady was in attendance.

He was solo, sans wife Gisele Bundchen, hanging out with Jon Bon Jovi, per Page Six.
