Who Dana Blumberg is

Dana Blumberg is an ophthalmologist based in New York City. She is Robert Kraft’s wife and married him in 2022. Blumberg has also held a public role on the Kennedy Center board, giving her a profile beyond their marriage. She was publicly identified as Dana Blumberg, Robert Kraft’s wife, when her board appointment was announced.

In February 2025, Donald Trump named Blumberg to the board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She was appointed to replace Carlos Elizondo. The appointment formed part of a wider change to the Kennedy Center’s board and placed her in a role outside her work as an ophthalmologist.

Blumberg’s appointment gave her a defined governance role separate from her position as Kraft’s wife. She joined the board in place of Carlos Elizondo. The change was announced in February 2025 and received coverage from the Cape Cod Times, NBC Boston and other publications.

Robert Kraft and Dana Blumberg began dating in 2017. In early 2022, their engagement was announced by Tommy Hilfiger at the inaugural amfAR Gala Palm Beach event.

Kraft and Blumberg married in 2022, and they are identified as spouses from that year onward. Reporting in February 2025 continued to describe Dana Blumberg as Robert Kraft’s wife when Trump named her to the Kennedy Center board. Their wedding date, venue and further ceremony details have not been published.

Their engagement announcement also identified Blumberg as Kraft’s girlfriend. The announcement was made by Tommy Hilfiger rather than by either member of the couple. The couple subsequently married in the same year that the engagement became public.

Robert Kraft’s earlier marriage

She was his earlier wife. Dana Blumberg is his later wife, with the marriage to Kraft recorded from 2022 to the present. Kraft’s marital history therefore includes a documented marriage to Hiatt before his marriage to Blumberg.

Search results for Kraft’s wife may also identify Myra Hiatt because she was his earlier wife. The two names refer to different marriages at different points in his marital history. Hiatt’s marriage ended with her death in 2011, while his marriage to Blumberg began in 2022.

Dana Blumberg is the wife associated with Kraft’s marriage from 2022 onward. Myra Hiatt is the wife associated with his marriage from 1963 until 2011. Both relationships form part of the public record of his marriages.

Dana Blumberg’s work outside her marriage

Blumberg’s work outside her marriage is as an ophthalmologist in New York City. She has also served on the board of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. In February 2025, Donald Trump named her to that board, where she replaced Carlos Elizondo. Her public roles have included work in ophthalmology and board service at a performing-arts institution.

Her board appointment formed part of a wider change at the Kennedy Center. The Cape Cod Times reported her selection in February 2025. The Conversation described the appointment as part of an effort to purge board members and exert control over the institution. Blumberg’s replacement of Carlos Elizondo therefore occurred within a broader change to the board’s membership.

Her Kennedy Center role is distinct from her relationship with Kraft. Blumberg was named to the board in her own right, while public accounts continued to identify her as Robert Kraft’s wife. The appointment brought her into the governance of an institution focused on the performing arts.
