The controversy around Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini’s extramarital affair has taken another intense turn. While it looked like things are slowly fading now, a new column by reporter, Crissy Froyd has sparked conversations yet again. For those who do not know, in April 2026, Crissy Froyd was fired from USA Today for criticising Dianna Russini’s photos with Mike Vrabel. Well, now she has revealed more shocking details about Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel.
Crissy Froyd confirms Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel have been together since 2020
After being fired from USA Today, Crissy Froyd began writing columns for The Daily Mail. On May 30, 2026, Crissy Froyd, in her column, revealed that she knew about Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel’s affair since 2020. She also stated that they were trying to keep their relationship secret. She shared:
“Around 2020, I was told by a well-known national sports reporter in explicit terms that Vrabel, then coach of the Tennessee Titans, and Russini were carrying on a secret relationship. It was one of the first rumors that I heard when I began my NFL reporting career. I’d hear many more.”
Crissy Froyd reveals Dianna Russini is not the only reporter to have a relationship with NFL staff
Further in the column, Crissy Froyd revealed the shocking reality of female reports in the NFL. She mentioned that Dianna Russini was not the only person to be involved with a NFL staff, but there are more than a dozen of female reporters, who have had sex with NFL staff and coaches and later admitted in front of her. In her words:
“I’ve also been told by at least half a dozen female reporters that they have had sex with NFL staff and, in one case, a prominent NFL head coach, while they were covering the team. It takes a high degree of trust to make such a confession, so I assume that many other similar stories go untold. Gossip about these illicit reporter-NFL employee relationships is even more prominent. Over my career the number of stories has numbered in the tens – and they have involved some of the most prominent female sports reporters and NFL coaches in the country.”
Do NFL staff members and head coaches manipulate female reporters for getting into a physical relationship?
Apart from revealing the truth of NFL staff and Dianna Russini’s alleged affair with Mike Vrabel, Crissy Froyd also highlighted how head coaches manipulate female reporters into sleeping with them. She explained that conversations begin at a professional level; however, the coach later invites her to a hotel room. Sometimes the coach also sends inappropriate messages to the reporters, which might eventually end up in a physical relationship. Allegedly, a similar thing might have happened with Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel.
Crissy Froyd opens up about being fired from USA Today
Towards the end of her column, Crissy Froyd also shed light on her being fired from USA Today, for criticising Dianna Russini’s cosy photos with the head coach of New England Patriots. She stated that due to Dianna’s actions, the reputation of all the NFL reporters has been ruined. She explained:

“The Vrabel-Russini scandal also casts suspicion over the journalists and NFL teams that do things that right way, of which there are many. That’s unfair and demoralizing. That’s why I tweeted about Russini’s resignation from The Athletic, resulting in my termination from USA Today. Even more disheartening, it appears that no one is particularly interested in getting to the bottom of this story.”
How did Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel’s affair scandal begin
To give a recap, Dianna and Mike made headlines when Page Six shared a series of cosy photos, suggesting that the two had been cheating on their respective partners, Kevin Goldschmidst and Jen Vrabel. Later, TMZ shared a video, in which Dianna and Mike were seen going on a boat ride when the former was seven months pregnant. Currently, even though Dianna has resigned from The Athletic, Mike Vrabel continues to lead Patriots from the front.
