The New England Patriots are still supporting head coach Mike Vrabel despite the growing controversy involving former NFL reporter Dianna Russini. New photos and videos appeared this week showing Vrabel and Russini together during a 2021 boat trip in Tennessee. The new images brought even more attention to a story.
The controversy first started in April after photos showed Vrabel and Russini holding hands at an adults-only resort in Arizona. More videos later surfaced from a bar in New York City in 2020. Both denied rumors about an affair at first. Later, Vrabel apologized for his “actions,” but he did not directly admit to cheating.
Right now, the Patriots do not appear ready to move on from their coach. Vrabel led New England to a Super Bowl win in 2025, and team officials seem focused on protecting both him and the organization from more controversy. Still, NFL insider Albert Breer believes things could change if more allegations come out.
