It\u2019s NFL Draft Day, but the main story heading into Round 1 on Thursday night is the off-the-field drama between New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL reporter for The Athletic, Dianna Russini.<\/p>\n
New pictures of the pair dropped on Thursday, showing the two kissing in New York six years before photos taken in March, which showed them canoodling in Arizona, ignited the current scandal.<\/p>\n
Page Six<\/a> published the bombshell photos showing Vrabel and Russini locking lips at a bar in New York City back in 2020 \u2014 just two weeks after the media outlet exposed Vrabel and Russini, both married, at an adults-only luxury resort in Arizona. The new photos add to the speculation that the two were romantically involved \u2014 and had been for some time.<\/p>\n Dianna Russini and married Mike Vrabel caught kissing at NYC bar in bombshell new photos \u2014 taken 6 years before scandal https:\/\/t.co\/WIPOoGKAWF<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/4j1UpviNuy<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 New York Post (@nypost) April 23, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cThey were kissing and they were all over each other,\u201d an eyewitness told Page Six. \u201cHe had a ring on.\u201d<\/p>\n Vrabel, who has been married to his college sweetheart since 1999, was wearing his wedding ring during the New York rendezvous when Russini could be seen \u201cin between [Vrabel\u2019s] legs,\u201d according to Page Six.<\/p>\n \u201cThey were having a glorious time.
