Dianna Russini’s life has become complicated in the last few weeks, following the publication of a series of photos of her alongside New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel in a hotel in Sedona, Arizona, earlier this year.
This was then compounded by the publication of further pictures of her kissing Vrabel, in March 2020, at a bar in Tribeca, New York. The new publication by Page Six, which also published the original pictures in early April, casts doubt on the version of events presented by Russini and Vrabel, who said the interaction was a purely friendly one in public.
Some people are now dissecting Dianna Russini’s marriage timeline, as 2020 is the very year in which she tied the knot with Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt in September. Reports are that the The Athletic reporter and Goldschmidt had been dating since 2015, and they made public their engagement in July 2020.
The new publication by Page Six would make the entire relationship between Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini more convoluted, as the affair would be a lengthy one rather than a recent development. At the time of the photo, both the reporter and the coach were involved in serious relationships. Vrabel married his wife, Jen Vrabel, in 1999.
Mike Vrabel Will Miss Day 3 of NFL Draft with the New England Patriots Amid the Scandal Involving Dianna Russini
With the news coming out on the same day as the start of the NFL Draft, the publication by Page Six has somewhat derailed the New England Patriots’ plans.
Vrabel was contacted earlier in the week about comments regarding the 2020 photos, and on Wednesday night, the coach released a statement informing the public he would miss Day 3 of the NFL Draft and that he would be stepping aside from the team for the time being:
“As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend,” Vrabel said Wednesday night. “This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.
“I have always wanted to lead by example, and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be. This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result.”
Dianna Russini has yet to provide a public reaction to the new publication about her 2020 kiss with Mike Vrabel.
