Dianna Russini went viral in April 2026 over Page Six’s exclusive photos of herself and NFL coach Mike Vrabel holding hands at an Arizona resort, nearly six years into her marriage.
The sports journalist, who resigned from her role at the Athletic in the wake of the scandal, wed husband Kevin Goldschmidt in 2020.
The duo has two sons.
When Russini and Vrabel’s hugging made headlines, the sportscaster claimed, “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.”
Vrabel, who is married to wife Jen, similarly dubbed their interaction “completely innocent” at the time — but admitted during an April 2026 press conference that he was having “difficult conversations” with his family and striving to show up as the “best version” of himself.

Russini confessed during a February 2026 “Stugotz and Company” podcast episode that she and Goldschmidt had “never been more disconnected” due to her busy schedule.
“He doesn’t even know who I am right now,” she quipped at the time. “Our text messages look like two robots.”
Russini joked to listeners that her union was “falling apart” and that she had a “lot of work to do” with the businessman after the Super Bowl.
