Report: Mike Vrabel, Dianna Russini rented boat together in June 2021
TMZ says both signed waivers for a 2- to 3-hour rental, and the report says Russini was pregnant at the time.
- On Wednesday, TMZ reported that New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former NFL reporter Dianna Russini rented a private boat in Putnam County, Tennessee, in June 2021, with both signing waivers for the 2- to 3-hour outing.
- The trip took place while Russini was pregnant with her first child, and documents show the pair allegedly attempted to avoid photographs during the outing, with Russini refusing to pose for staff photos.
- This incident adds to widespread speculation sparked by April 2026 photos of the pair at an Arizona resort, building on earlier 2020 images from a New York City bar showing them together.
- Following the controversy, Russini resigned from The Athletic on April 14, while Vrabel announced stepping away from the Patriots to seek counseling, stating his "previous actions don't meet the standards that I hold myself to."
- Neither party has publicly commented on the latest boat rental allegations, though both previously denied wrongdoing regarding earlier photos, as the nature of their relationship remains unverified by third-party sources.
