Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini seen kissing at NYC bar in newly surfaced 2020 photos: report

Dan Dakich reacts to the bombshell new photos of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini in Arizona that officially debunk the "girls trip" narrative.

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former reporter for The Athletic Dianna Russini were caught kissing at a New York City bar in photos taken six years before they were spotted at an Arizona resort.

In pictures exclusively obtained by the New York Post, Vrabel and Russini were spotted together inside a bar in the early hours of March 11, 2020.

"They were kissing and they were all over each other," an eyewitness told the New York Post. "He had a ring on."

The pictures show the coach and reporter sitting close to each other at the bar. According to the report, the two were at the bar for about an hour at 12 a.m.

"They were having a glorious time. They were (giving each other) pecks, a bunch of pecks constantly," the New York Post’s source said. "There was nobody in there. Nobody knew who they were. I don’t even think the bartenders did."

Russini reportedly married her now-husband, Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt, just six months after the photos were snapped. Goldschmidt and Russini share two children.

Vrabel married his wife, Jen, in 1999, and they have two sons together. His wedding ring is visible in the photos.

Russini was working for ESPN and Vrabel was coaching the Tennessee Titans at the time the photos were taken.
