New Photos Leak of Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel Having Breakfast Together
New photos have surfaced of New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and NFL insider Dianna Russini hanging out together in Sedona, Arizona, last month.
On Apr. 7, Page Six released photos of Vrabel and Russini hanging out together at Sedona's adults-only Ambiente hotel. The images were taken on March 28, one day before the NFL's Annual League Meeting began in Phoenix, and showed the two holding hands, embracing and relaxing by a swimming pool.
One week after the photos were leaked, Russini announced her resignation as an NFL insider for The Athletic. On Tuesday, Vrabel broke his silence and told reporters that he had tough conversations with his family and the Patriots' organization.
For those who thought the controversy was close to going away? Think again.
On Wednesday, Page Six released more photos from witnesses of Russini and Vrabel having breakfast together on March 28. An insider told the outlet that the two were dining alone, telling Page Six that it looked like they were trying to avoid being seen together:
"One of them would go ahead and then the other would wait for a few seconds or so, and then they would follow a few steps ahead...they really didn't want to be seen walking together."

Russini's contract with The Athletic was set to expire on June 30. She joined the outlet in August 2023 after an eight-year tenure at ESPN.
Mike Vrabel Broke His Silence on Tuesday
As previously noted, Vrabel addressed the controversy with Russini in a press conference on Tuesday. Vrabel issued the following statement, per ESPN's Dan Murphy:
"I've had some difficult conversations with people I care about -- with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive. We believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me. That starts with me.
We never want our actions to negatively affect the team. We never want to be the cause of a distraction. There are comments and questions that I've answered for the team and with the team. We'll keep those private."
Vrabel led the Patriots to 14 wins and a surprise trip to the AFC Championship Game this past season. Their dream campaign ended with a lopsided 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl 60.
