Robert was married to his love Myra Hiatt Kraft for more than 50 years. Together, they made the couple whom everyone envied.

The duo was in the French Open tennis final in Paris, the Women’s World Cup soccer finals, and even the 2020 Oscars. In 2022, they were seen in the Super Bowl.
But the highlight of their love life was when Robert Kraft proposed to Dr. Dana at the amfAR Gala Palm Beach event. The event was in honor of the legendary fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger but Robert and Dana’s engagement also turned out to be quite the surprise of the hour.
He gave her a giant ring which can be claimed to be the size of Kraft’s Super Bowl rings. One source said, “It looked like it was 10 carats or more… It was as big as some of Bob’s Super Bowl rings”. So, in March 2022, the couple was officially engaged.

Another ring was added to Dana’s finger. Almost 250 guests were invited to the wedding and they were instructed to dress “festively” for this high-profile event. The surprise wedding ceremony was held on 14th October 2022 at the grand Hall des Lumières in the heart of New York City, Lower Manhattan.
The party was named “Kick-off and a Touchdown” and it started with an emotional 10-minute video. As the video was ending, the NFL commentator, Al Michaels formally introduced the husband and wife to the crowd and it was then that the couple said “I do”. Since Kraft is Jewish, he did step on the glass as per the Jewish tradition.
The guests had no clue about the wedding and one source said, “Most of the people didn’t know it was a wedding celebration. We thought it was a party and then when we went upstairs — and [a] screen opened and Robert and Dana came out. She was in a wedding dress, and Elton John announced them as ‘husband and wife.’ Then Meek Mill wrote a song for them — which he sang with Ed Sheeran as backup”
Moreover, they also revealed how this was just a last-minute plan to have a luxurious wedding celebration when they were at Sir Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” concert. In fact, Sir Elton John was also present in the event and a source claimed, “Elton just did this as a friend and to honor their friendship. They planned this event in, like, three weeks!”
This was one of the most luxurious events in recent times. A star-studded event with the top names of the world attending the party, Robert and Dana had the perfect fairytale wedding.
It is such a shock but also a wonderful union. We wish the couple a very happy and prosperous married life!
