Mike Vrabel and wife Jen spotted in NYC months after Dianna Russini scandal
Mike Vrabel and his wife, Jen Vrabel, put on a united front in New York City on Friday, three months after his viral Dianna Russini scandal.
The couple was spotted entering Manhattan’s Langham Hotel.
In exclusive photos obtained by Page Six, the New England Patriots coach, 50, arrived at the establishment wearing a blue button-up and white shorts.
He carried multiple shopping bags, including one from Nordstrom, as they headed into the hotel.
Jen, for her part, was all smiles in a T-shirt, striped pants and sandals. She wore a sweater tied around her waist and her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
The pair have been married since 1999 and are the parents of sons Tyler and Carter.
Their relationship burst into headlines in April when Page Six published photos of Mike hugging Russini at an Arizona hotel.
He and the sports journalist, who have worked together since Russini began covering the Tennessee Titans in 2018, were also caught on camera holding hands.
Mike, initially, wrote in a statement that their interaction was “completely innocent.”
During a subsequent press conference, however, Mike admitted to having “difficult conversations” with his family members.
Days later, Page Six released years-old photos of him and Russini “all over each other” at a bar in 2020.
Mike announced he was “seeking counseling,” explaining, “I have always wanted to lead by example and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be.”
He then flew to Utah mid-NFL Draft for an emergency marriage summit with Jen.
The pair were photographed together for the first time post-scandal in a June group shot celebrating their son Tyler’s engagement.
Russini, for her part, wed husband Kevin Goldschmidt on September 2020, and the duo are also the parents of two sons.
They were seen kissing and hugging on Mother’s Day in May.
The reporter, who resigned from her job at The Athletic in April, broke her silence in a New York Times piece published last month.
“This has had a significant impact on my life, both professionally and personally,” Russini wrote in texts she asked the journalist not to quote from.
Russini has yet to address the matter further.
