Are Russini and Vrabel finally moving forward?
Pictures from 2020 resurfaced earlier this year with the Page Six report where Vrabel and Russini were seen “kissing and all over each other.” Then came pictures from 2021 on a boat in Tennessee while Russini was pregnant with her first child.
Following this, while Vrabel did not specifically address the photos, he promised in a statement to seek counselling. He said: “I have always wanted to lead by example, and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be.
This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result.”

"We’ve also said that if we find anything that needs to be corrected, we will correct it along the way.”
