Former The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel initially made a forceful denial of any insinuation that they had an affair, but images showing the two together in 2020 and 2024 have since made it clear the two were linked together for several years.

Jen Vrabel, the wife of New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, was spotted in public for the first time since her husband's scandal.

After the photos were made public, Russini resigned from her role at The Athletic.
