This NFL offseason for Mike Vrabel was supposed to be about building something in the New England Patriots. Instead, it became a tragedy for him after Page Six published steamy photos of Vrabel and NFL reporter Dianna Russini holding hands and sharing a hot tub at a luxury Arizona resort.
Then Page Six dropped a second set of images showing them appearing to kiss at a New York City bar. At that time, the 50-year-old head coach was with the Tennessee Titans.
Since then, Vrabel has been trying to hold the line by promising to bring his best version to the public again. Russini resigned from her job and went absolutely radio silent. But just as the smoke appeared to be thinning, TMZ Sports added another log to the fire, including a bombshell report around Vrabel, pregnant Russini and a private boat.
But now, they have footage of them boarding.
New video drops of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini’s 2-hour solo boat trip
TMZ Sports obtained documentsshowing Vrabel and Russini rented a private boat together in Putnam County, Tennessee, in June 2021. According to a source with direct knowledge, they were the only two people on board for the entire two-to-three-hour excursion. The timing wasn’t subtle: Russini was pregnant with her first child at the time, and both signed the company waiver before boarding.

Now, a second layer of that big bombshell report has arrived. TMZreleased follow-up footagefrom the same boat trip. In the footage, seven-months-pregnant Russini could be seen walking down a dock while Vrabel followed a few steps behind.
They seemingly exchanged a few words before boarding the boat. Both were dressed casually and while the footage is shaky and shot from a distance, it confirms they were at the same location together.
According to TMZ, the two were careful about being seen. Russini refused to take photos with staff, and Vrabel reportedly asked that a photo he did take not be shared publicly.

A week after the outing, Russini posted a photo of her husband on a New Jersey beach, praising the “great people” she spent the July holiday with. But that post is all private now.
Her husband Kevin Goldschmidt reportedly feels sidelined and deeply embarrassed by the scandal. Though he hasn’t filed for divorce, sources say the marriage is at a breaking point.
On the other side, Jen Vrabel was seen at the Salt Lake City airport still wearing her wedding ring. But that doesn’t mean everything is fine. Insiders confirmed she is “horrified” and will decide the future of the marriage after Mike finishes counseling
Vrabel’s job in New England seems safe for now. Star QB Drake Maye even went public to support him,saying the locker room isn’t distracted. Still, every new TMZ video makes it harder for Vrabel to get things back to normal at home or at the stadium.
