Dianna Russini and her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, were photographed kissing on Mother’s Day in their first public sighting since her scandal with Mike Vrabel.
Pictures exclusively obtained by Page Six show the former ESPN reporter and the Shake Shack executive warmly embracing each other outside their New Jersey home on Sunday.
Russini, who said “I do” to Goldschmidt in 2020, appeared to be carrying the youngest of their two sons on her hip.
“People in the community have said they’ve been very resilient as a family,” a source told Page Six of the married duo, who have been seen together at activities for their kids and other family occasions amid the scandal.
“They haven’t been in hiding,” the source added.
The NFL insider, 43, has been constantly in the headlines after she and Vrabel, 50, were photographed holding hands and dancing while at a resort in Arizona in March, per exclusive photos obtained by Page Six.
During that same trip, they were also seen lounging poolside together and eating breakfast on a patio.
Russini and Vrabel — who has been married to his wife, Jen, since 1999 — insisted they were with friends on the trip who weren’t pictured, despite multiple eyewitnesses disputing that claim to Page Six.
“These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable. This doesn’t deserve any further response,” Vrabel told us in a statement at the time.
Russini added in her own statement, “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.”
The photo scandal led to the journalist stepping down from her role as Senior NFL Insider at the Athletic, while Vrabel announced he’d be skipping Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft to “seek counseling.”
Soon after, photos of the duo cozying up at a dimly-lit bar in New York City back in 2020 were revealed by Page Six.
An insider said that Russini and Vrabel “were kissing” and “all over each other.”
Additionally, photos of Russini and Vrabel spending time on a private boat trip in Putnam County, Tennessee, back in 2021 surfaced last week.
At the time, the sports reporter was visibly pregnant with her first child.
A source told TMZ that Russini and Vrabel were allegedly the only two people on the boat, and that they were hesitant about photos being taken.
Amid the scandal, Vrabel has continued to serve as the Patriots’ head coach. The NFL team released the following statement back in April:
“The New England Patriots fully support Mike Vrabel’s decision to prioritize his family first, as well as his own well-being. Mike has been open with us about his commitment to being the best version of himself for his family, this team and our fans, and we respect the steps he is taking to follow through on that commitment.”
Additionally, Vrabel has received support from several team members, including Christian Gonzalez.
“That’s my coach,” the cornerback told reporters during a press conference earlier this month. “That’s who I go out and play for, and he’s proven what he can do as a coach. That’s my guy, and I’m right behind Vrabes any time of day.”
