Disgraced NFL reporter Dianna Russini was seen for the first time on Sunday since her affair scandal broke, putting on a defiant display of unity with her husband.
In photos obtained by Page Six, the former ESPN star was seen kissing her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, outside their New Jersey home for Mother’s Day.
Russini appeared to be carrying the youngest of her two sons while embracing Goldschmidt, a high-level executive at Shake Shack whom she married in 2020.
The intimate encounter marks the first public sighting of the couple since bombshell allegations surfaced regarding Russini’s relationship with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.
A source told Page Six about how the couple have handled the ongoing fallout from the affair allegations.
‘People in the community have said they’ve been very resilient as a family. They haven’t been in hiding,’ the source told the outlet.

Rumors of an affair between the two began in March when the New York Post published photos of the NFL insider and coach hugging and hanging out poolside at an adults-only Arizona resort.
Although both initially denied cheating on their respective spouses, Vrabel has since apologized for his ‘actions,’ while stopping short of specifically admitting to an affair.Â
The married father of two adult sons briefly stepped away from the Patriots during April’s NFL Draft to go through counseling with his family.Â
The Post has since published photos of Vrabel and Russini enjoying breakfast together at the aforementioned Arizona resort and other pictures showing the two kissing at a New York bar, reportedly, in March of 2020.Â
Furthermore, the Daily Mail has also published photos of Vrabel with Russini at a Biloxi, Mississippi, casino in January of 2024.
The scandal took a fresh twist last Thursday when video footage emerged of them arriving for their romantic boat trip that allegedly took place just months before she gave birth to her first son.
Russini and Vrabel reportedly hired a vessel for two or three hours in June 2021, when he was still coaching the Tennessee Titans and she was reporting on him for ESPN.
