Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel & NFL Reporter Dianna Russini Speak Out After Photos Show Them Embracing at Sedona Resort

Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini are both speaking out after photos have surfaced of them spending time together at a Sedona resort.

The 50-year-old New England Patriots head coach and the 43-year-old New York Times NFL reporter, who are both married to other people, are denying any romantic involvement with each other.

Page Six has published photos of Mike and Dianna embracing, hugging, and holding hands while vacationing at the Ambiente resort two weekends ago in Sedona, Arizona.

Eyewitnesses spotted Mike and Dianna having breakfast together, lounging next to each other in a hot tub, laying out by the pool, and checking out views from the rooftop of a bungalow. Sources claim that they were together all weekend with no other guests, but insiders close to Mike and Dianna are insisting they were with friends.

They have both released statements amid the release of the photos.

Mike told Page Six, “These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn’t deserve any further response.”

Dianna told the outlet, “The photos don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day. Like most journalists in the NFL, reporters interact with sources away from stadiums and other venues.”

Dianna‘s boss at The Athletic is also speaking out. Steven Ginsberg said, “These photos are misleading and lack essential context. These were public interactions in front of many people. Dianna is a premier journalist covering the NFL and we’re proud to have her at the Athletic.”

Mike has been married to his wife Jen for more than 25 years and they share two children.

Dianna married Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt in 2020 and they are parents to two kids as well.
