CLOSE QUARTERS

Married NFL Head Coach Caught Cozied Up With Sports Reporter

The loved-up pair are both married with multiple children.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, 50, and the Athletic’s senior NFL insider Dianna Russini, 43, were photographed getting unusually close during a luxury getaway in Arizona, according to photos obtained by Page Six. The pair was spotted on March 28 at the Ambiente resort in Sedona, where they were seen holding hands and embracing against the backdrop of the red rock mountains. Both are married—Vrabel for 27 years and Russini for 5 years. According to the outlet, the two spent much of the day together, starting with breakfast at the hotel restaurant before heading to the pool, where they lounged side by side and relaxed in a hot tub for roughly an hour. Their time together reportedly continued into the evening, when they were seen at the resort’s private rooftop bungalows, which can cost more than $2,000 a night. Vrabel and Russini told Page Six they were hanging out with a larger group. But multiple eyewitnesses told the outlet they only saw the two of them together throughout their stay. The Daily Beast has reached out to Russini and Vrabel for comment.
