Dianna Russini, an NFL reporter for the New York Times, is facing backlash after photos with New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel surfaced online. Both individuals are married, with Russini married to Kevin Goldschmidt since 2020. A past comment from Russini, where she mentioned that her husband does not text her, has resurfaced, leading to speculation about their marriage. In her January 2026 post, she referred to this lack of communication as a 'problem' in their relationship. Despite the controversy, both Russini and Vrabel have clarified that their interaction was innocent. Vrabel stated, 'These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable.' Russini echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that the photos do not represent their group dynamic. Although Russini has faced criticism from Eagles fans for her reporting, particularly regarding player AJ Brown, it appears that her marriage remains intact.
