New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and NFL journalist Dianna Russini have pushed back against speculation surrounding photos of them together in Sedona, Arizona.
The photos, published by Page Six, showed the two 'holding hands' in a hotel, sparking criticism and cheating rumors.
However, both Vrabel and Russini have denied any wrongdoing, stating that the photos were taken out of context and show a routine, off-site professional interaction.
Vrabel had traveled to Arizona for a scouting visit and a league competition committee meeting, while Russini was covering league activities in the region.
The two have been married to other people and have firmly rejected the claims, describing the situation as a misinterpretation of their professional relationship.
