Did Bob Kraft Knock Up His Much Younger Girlfriend?

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The longtime companion of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft became a mother last year, but Kraft may not be the father.

The New York Post's Page Six reported that Kraft's much younger girlfriend Ricki Noel Lander had a baby last year, leading to speculation that Kraft was the father and his four adult sons had a much younger half-brother.

A Kraft family spokesman, however, is denying that the Patriots owner is the biological father.

"He is thrilled with Ricki’s blessing of having a healthy child. With respect to her family’s privacy, we will not be commenting any further,” the spokesperson told the Post.

Sources say that Kraft is taking care of Lander and the baby, but he won't discuss the possibility that maybe he is the father of a newborn baby. Another source said that Kraft's sons are anticipating a change in the family trust to provide for the child. That's a big move for a kid that isn't even Kraft's son.

Kraft, 76, and Lander, 38, started dating in 2011 shortly after the death of Kraft's wife Myra. While the two were rumored to have separated for a period, there are plenty of recent photos of them together at events like the NBA All Star Game and Jay-Z's& Roc Nation THE BRUNCH.
