In light of being seen with NFL reporter Dianna Russini at an Arizona retreat, Mike Vrabel has decided to pursue counseling.
The head coach of the New England Patriots, now 50, announced he will be absent from Day 3 of the NFL Draft on Saturday, choosing instead to prioritize personal and family concerns.
“As I mentioned recently, I made a commitment to my family, this organization, and the team to offer the best version of myself possible,” Vrabel shared with ESPN on Wednesday evening.
“To fulfill this promise, I’ve dedicated myself to starting counseling this weekend.”
“After much consideration, this is a step I am taking, and it’s one I would recommend to any player seeking guidance,” he added.
He added that he will spend the weekend outside Massachusetts with his wife, Jen, and their two sons, while remaining in contact with the Patriots’ staff as they make their final selections.
Earlier this month, Page Six originally published pictures of Vrabel and Russini, 43, holding hands and hugging at the Ambiente resort in Sedona, Ariz., which is set against the Brins Mesa mountain range.
Vrabel and Russini — who married Kevin Goldschmidt in 2020 — also dined together, having breakfast on March 28, around 10:15 a.m. local time, as seen in new exclusive photos obtained by Page Six.
Multiple eyewitnesses claimed that the two dined alone, which seems to be supported by the pictures we obtained. Sources close to Russini insist that the sports reporter and the NFL coach were joined by a group of friends for the morning meal.
