Dianna Russini was seen vacationing with her family in the Bahamas as she continues to navigate the fallout from her affair scandal with NFL coach Mike Vrabel.
The former sports reporter was spotted enjoying a luxury cruise with her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, and their two young sons over the Fourth of July weekend.
According to Page Six, the family spent the holiday aboard the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas for a week-long voyage featuring stops in Florida and the Bahamas.
An eyewitness told the outlet that the couple appeared highly affectionate during the getaway, noting that Russini ‘blew her husband a kiss at one point across the pool’.
‘They seemed to be engaged with one another,’ the source added. ‘They were very family oriented with their kids. They took the kids to the Splash Pad together and were laughing at the pool.’
Video footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the former reporter in a green one-piece swimsuit, dancing to Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ while holding one of her children.

The family vacation comes just months after Russini found herself at the center of a massive media firestorm involving the New England Patriots head coach Vrabel.
Vrabel recently came under fire following a viral clip as he headed to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding over the weekend, after failing to hold the door for his wife as they boarded a chauffeured SUV.
The awkward moment was captured as Vrabel and his wife Jen were leaving their midtown Manhattan hotel for Friday’s ceremony at Madison Square Garden.
The 50-year-old was wearing a black suit and tie while Jen, his college sweetheart from his days at Ohio State, was in an blue chiffon gown.
Unlike Kelce, who usually makes a production of holding doors for Swift, Vrabel let hotel staff handle that duty while he charged ahead of her into the waiting SUV.
In response, many fans were critical of Vrabel’s apparent faux pas.
‘Literally the worst guys I’ve dated have at least opened the car door for me,’ sports producer and former New York Post staffer Sarah McCroy wrote on X.
‘Let your wife get in first,’ another critic added. ‘You get in last and then you get out first to help her out. He is truly a piece of [poop emoji].’

This marked the first time the two had been seen together in public since the reigning NFL Coach of the Year faced accusations of an affair with Russini.
The controversy erupted in March when the New York Post published suggestive photos of Vrabel fraternizing with Russini at a $2,500-a-night, adults-only retreat in Arizona.
While the married Russini has denied any wrongdoing and stood by her reporting on Vrabel, she was later placed on leave at The Athletic before ultimately submitting her resignation to the website’s parent company, The New York Times.
In April, the Post published pictures purportedly showing Vrabel and Russini kissing at a bar in Manhattan in March of 2020. Russini married Shake Shack executive Kevin Goldschmidt in September of that year and has since given birth to his two sons.
The Daily Mail also published photos of Vrabel and a pregnant Russini renting a boat on a Tennessee lake in 2021, when he was coaching the Titans and she was reporting on the team for ESPN.
Speaking before the first round of April’s NFL Draft, Vrabel stopped short of confessing to an affair. However, he did admit to causing ‘a distraction to the people that I care most about, my family, this football team, the organization and our fans.’
He would ultimately miss the third day of the draft to attend a family counseling session.
Meanwhile, Russini recently came under fire after toe-curling footage showed her name-dropping an NFL coach to avoid punishment after being pulled over by cops.
