Mike Vrabel's Wife, Jen, Is Reportedly 'Horrified'

Mike Vrabel remains apologetic for his off-the-field behavior, as the New England Patriots head coach has been photographed with NFL insider Dianna Russini several times over the years, in intimate settings.

The Patriots head coach, who is entering his second season with New England, left the NFL Draft before Day 3, to seek treatment.

"As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend," Vrabel said before the NFL Draft. "This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.

"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. This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result."

Vrabel, who has been married to his wife, Jen, for more than 25 years - the couple tied the knot in 1999 and has two children together - is back working for the Patriots, though he's still dealing with family fallout.

Understandably, his wife, Jen, is furious.

"Jen is (furious), embarrassed, and horrified that this is her life right now. To live through this in the public eye, being judged by friends and family, being judged by people she has never met. It is a nightmare," a source close to the family told the Daily Mail.

Mike Vrabel, wife had an outing in Utah

Both Mike Vrabel and his wife, Jen, were photographed at the airport in Utah, after receiving some family counseling, according to a report.

The couple had an "emergency" marriage meeting in Utah.

"They were cordial and talkative, but not overly flirty," a source exclusively told Page Six, noting that the couple was at a restaurant in Utah for about 90 minutes.

"They seemed fine. It was a friendly, regular meal."

For now, the couple has stayed together, though time will tell.
