Mike Vrabel reveals what’s ‘important now’ amid Dianna Russini scandal

Mike Vrabel is focusing on the future.

During a press conference on Wednesday, May 27, the New England Patriots head coach was asked if he anticipated “having to miss football activities again for the rest of the spring.” The question referred to Vrabel’s absence during Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, where he went to have a counseling session with his wife, Jen, following the Dianna Russini scandal. Vrabel and the former NFL insider made headlines in April after photos of them were published by Page Six of them holding hands at an Arizona luxury resort.  They also claimed that they were a part of two separate groups of friends when the photos went viral, as they are married to other people. However, three other eyewitnesses told Page Six that they did not see anyone else with them.

Vrabel answered the reporter’s question, noting that if he were to miss any more time this season, he is unsure at the moment.

“I can only tell you that I’m going to be there today,” Vrabel told reporters per Us Weekly. “I can’t tell you anything other than I’m going to be out there today in full force. Who knows what’s going to come up? I’m not even, you know, anything could happen.”

When asked how he has been able to handle the outside noise when it came to the Russini scandal, he shared what his priorities are now.

“We all have to deal with things outside of here,” he said. “My focus and obviously the excitement that I have for coaching is what is most important right now.”

Vrabel’s message to his priorities now follow him praising his wife and children recently, “My family is great. I love Jen. I love the boys,” according to a report per MassLive’s Mark Daniels. He also shared that his work and life balance in the offseason is “really good.”
