Dianna Russini out in New York with husband amid Patriots coach scandal
Sports journalist Dianna Russini was seen dining with her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, at the Bourbon and Branch Bar near Madison Square Garden on Mother's Day. The couple joined friends before a Bruce Springsteen concert and appeared relaxed despite recent controversy surrounding New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
The scandal involves allegations of an affair between Russini and Vrabel, with photographs dating back to 2022 that resurfaced online. In response, Russini stepped down from her role at The Athletic and deactivated her public social‑media accounts, while Vrabel issued an apology and remains in his coaching position.
Eyewitnesses reported that Russini and Goldschmidt were laughing, sharing food and drinks, and showed no visible signs of tension, suggesting they have moved past the media attention surrounding the affair rumors.
