The 2026 Fanatics Super Bowl Party had celebrities everywhere. Athletes, rappers, actors and billionaires pretending they’re normal. And yet, the duo that really broke the internet was New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, 84, and his wife Dana Blumberg, 52.
Yes, eighty-four, and yes, he was outside.
Kraft and Dana hit the red carpet like they were headlining the event. Cameras flashed, heads turned, phones came out and somewhere, a group of 30-year-olds quietly realized age is just a number when you have billionaire confidence.
While there’s obviously no doubt who Kraft and his bride are rooting for against the Seattle Seahawks in the big game, the duo were ready to party alongside fellow Pats fan Jon Bon Jovi, legendary former Pats quarterback Tom Brady, Kevin Costner, Emma Roberts, and Spike Lee, who wore a Knicks hat to the event, naturally.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Kraft, who has owned the Pats since 1994, did not receive enough votes from the 50-person selection committee to be included in the Class of 2026, ESPN reported. He wasn’t the only longtime member of Patriots Nation to receive the snub: Bill Belichick, who coached the team for 24 seasons before parting ways with the organization in 2024, was also snubbed. He won eight Super Bowls during his coaching career.
In response to the snub, Kraft made it clear that his focus is on winning on Super Bowl Sunday.
“What matters to me is we win Sunday,” Kraft shared during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “That’s a function of how the team we’re invested in and organize [is judged].”
So yes, the 2026 Fanatics Super Bowl red carpet had stars everywhere. But the real headline wasn’t a rapper or an actor.
It was an 84-year-old NFL owner and his 52-year-old wife walking in like they owned the moment.
Because apparently, power couples don’t age out, they just upgrade.
