New photos emerge alleging 2020 k*ss between Mike Vrabel, Diana Russini

NEW YORK: Newly surfaced photos reportedly show New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL reporter Diana Russini sharing a kiss at a New York City bar in 2020.

The images, published by the New York Post’s Page Six, are said to have been taken at Tribeca Tavern in the early hours of March 11, 2020. An eyewitness quoted in the report claimed the pair were “all over each other” during the encounter.

The release of the photos comes shortly after Vrabel announced he will miss Day 3 of the NFL Draft to attend counseling. Earlier reports also showed the pair together at a resort in Sedona, Arizona.

At the time the images were taken, Vrabel was coaching the Tennessee Titans and was married, while Russini was engaged.

Vrabel responded to the allegations by calling the interaction “completely innocent,” but later said he has decided to seek counseling, stating he wants to be the “best husband, father and coach” he can be.

Russini recently resigned from The Athletic amid an internal review into her relationship with Vrabel.
