The Dianna Russini-Mike Vrabel saga took a new turn after photos of the two reportedly kissing at a New York City bar in March 2020 surfaced. An eyewitness claimed Vrabel had his wedding ring on at the time.
A 2021 tweet from Russini has resurfaced, drawing attention online as fallout continues from the photos. The tweet reads: 'Keep looking at my almost 4 day old son Michael while trying to figure out who are the best Michaels to ever play and coach in the NFL?'
Users pointed out that Vrabel, whose first name is also Michael, had a long career as an NFL player before becoming a head coach. The timing of the post, coming a year after the 2020 photos were reportedly taken, has fueled online speculation.
Vrabel has confirmed he will step away from part of his professional duties, including Day 3 of the upcoming NFL Draft, to seek counseling. He described the controversy as 'positive and productive' and said he had had 'difficult conversations' with his family, the Patriots, coaches and players.
