Dianna Russini is unlikely to ever live this down.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini are the main topic of discussion on every social media platform.

On Tuesday, Page Six published photos of the two of them getting cozy at the Ambiente hotel in Sedona. The pictures were damning. Vrabel had attended a scouting event at Arizona State University in Tempe on March 27. The next day, he traveled to the hotel.

Vrabel is a married man with two children, one of whom is an offensive tackle for the Atlanta Falcons. Russini shares two children with her husband, Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt.

The images show the pair embracing, holding hands, and standing together on the rooftop of a private bungalow at Ambiente Sedona. It is described as an adults-only retreat known for romantic getaways, honeymoons, and proposals.

This situation has brought up past issues involving Dianna Russini.

Dianna Russini Faced Allegations of Doing Sexual Favors In 2015

Russini has become one of the most prominent insiders in football media. After years at ESPN, she joined The Athletic and the New York Times in 2023, where she now serves as a senior NFL insider and hosts the podcast “Scoop City: Inside the NFL.”

However, one allegation continues to follow her.

In 2015, after she reported that Kirk Cousins would replace Robert Griffin III as Washington’s starting quarterback, her career would turn upside down. Jessica McCloughan, the wife of then-Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan, publicly accused Russini of having a sexual relationship with her husband.

In her tweet, Jessica said, “@diannaESPN Please tell us how many BJ’s you had to give to get this story. And did they laugh at you before or after?

A second of hers added, “@diannaESPN @Alan_Bal21 I’m pretty sure this info is coming from my husband to his new side chick (dianna), it’s confirmed.”

She later deleted the post and apologized, calling her remarks “unfounded and inappropriate.” However, the damage was already done. ESPN also defended Russini at the time, saying she “should never have to be subjected to such vulgar comments.”

Dianna Russini did not publicly respond to or speak on the specific allegations made against her by Jessica McCloughan.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’

She told how her health scare has changed her outlook and said she has been seeking comfort from Davina.
