Donald Trump could get Super Bowl reunion with NFL owner after friendship fell apart

Robert Kraft and Donald Trump, once close friends, seem to have cut ties following the 2021 U.S.

Capitol attack.

The New England Patriots owner recently disclosed that he hasn't spoken to Trump since the riots.

Both are expected to attend this weekend's Super Bowl, with Trump being the first sitting president to grace the showpiece game as the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.

"I will say this: I was very upset [with] what happened January 6.

And I haven't talked to [Trump] since then", the billionaire confessed in a Fox News Digital interview.

Regarding Trump's Super Bowl attendance, Kraft remarked: "It just shows you that maybe the NFL and the Super Bowl are important if we got the president of the United States coming as a guest." The friendship between Kraft and Trump dates back to the early '90s when Kraft, who boasts an estimated net worth of $11.8 billion, frequented Florida.

Kraft fondly remembers Trump as one of the few who reached out to him in 2011 after his first wife, Myra, passed away from cancer.

Touched by the gesture, Kraft later donated $1 million to Trump's 2017 inaugural fund, although he did not contribute to Trump's most recent campaign.

"The only donation I ever gave to him was he called me when he got elected, and I made a strong donation to his inauguration.

I couldn't believe it.

It was like having someone who was a drunk fraternity brother become president of the United States." Rep your team for Super Bowl LIX with licensed apparel from Fanatics like this Patrick Mahomes Kansas City Chiefs Nike Super Bowl LIX Fashion Game Jersey .
