New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and The Athletic's Dianna Russini are making headlines this NFL offseason for the wrong reason.
Vrabel, who has been married to his wife Jen since 1999, was recently spotted at the Ambiente in Arizona along with Russini. According to Page Six, they were the only seen with each other at this boutique resort in Sedona.
Page Six captured exclusive photos of Vrabel and Russini holding hands at this hotel in Arizona. Their insiders also shared some details about what may have been going on during Vrabel and Russini's stay there.
"A Page Six spy tells us that the pair — both married to other people — had breakfast on the patio of the hotel restaurant around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 28, before spending a leisurely hour or so together at the pool and lounging side-by-side in a hot tub," this bombshell report states.
"Our spy spotted Vrabel and Russini again that evening on the private rooftop of one of the hotel’s bungalows, which feature glass walls offering panoramic views of the state’s famed Red Rock formations."

It's worth noting that a source close to Russini said she was staying at this hotel "because of a hiking trip with two female pals."
Vrabel, meanwhile, apparently was with a friend of his own at the Ambiente.
"Both Russini and Vrabel insist they were there with friends and say they simply weren’t visible in the pictures," the report adds.

Who is Dianna Russini?
Russini worked at ESPN before becoming one of the top NFL insiders for The Athletic. She would make regular appearances on “Get Up” and “SportsCenter” among other shows.
So why did Russini leave ESPN? She simply wanted to take on more respomsinildty as a reporter.
“I did walk away,” Russini told NBC Sports’ Peter King. “It wasn’t a situation where ESPN didn’t want me. I love ESPN. They’ve given me so much opportunity and the people I’ve worked with were incredible. It was a really difficult decision for me, for my family. But it really came down to recognizing at ESPN I wasn’t going to change roles. There was no elevation there for me based on my conversations with the company. They did not have a vision outside of what I currently do.”
As of now, Russini hasn't responded to Page Six's bombshell story.
