Dianna Russini (born 1983) is a former NFL insider who built a prominent career at ESPN (2015–2023) before becoming the lead NFL journalist for The Athletic in August 2023. A standout multi-sport athlete from New Jersey, she was All-State in four sports and played soccer at George Mason University, later becoming the youngest reporter hired at WNBC. Her career unraveled in April 2026 when photos surfaced of her with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, sparking widespread affair rumors that she denied. The Athletic launched an investigation, leading to her resignation on April 14, 2026. The controversy deepened when Page Six later published photos of the pair kissing in March 2020, months before her marriage to Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt. This scandal marked a dramatic and abrupt end to her once-thriving sports journalism career.
