The Vrabels’ trip to Utah came days after the former NFL linebacker, 50, announced that he would be stepping away from the team to seek “counseling” after three sets of photos, taken between 2020 and 2026 and published in the New York Post and TMZ, showed him getting cozy with Russini, a married mother of two who was formerly the senior NFL insider at The Athletic.
Married since 1999, Jen and Mike share two adult sons.
While in Utah, the Patriots coach missed Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft, a day in which the team selected the bulk — six out of nine — of its players in this year’s draft class.
On the first day of the draft, Thursday, April 23, Vrabel gave notice that he would be absent, as he worked through the fallout of the photo scandal.
"I take accountability for my actions and the actions that caused a distraction to the people that I care most about,” Vrabel told reporters ahead of the draft. "My family, this football team, the organization and the fans."
He continued, “My priorities are my family and this football and in that order," he said. "There's a balance there that I’m going to create. My family needs me this weekend and that’s where I’ll be."
Now, Vrabel looks to the upcoming season after a loss in the Super Bowl in February and as the reigning NFL Coach of the Year.
In January 2025, when he was introduced as the team’s new head coach — coming full circle after playing in Foxborough for eight seasons — he made sure to acknowledge his wife for her support along the way.
“I want to thank Jen, who’s been along for this ride for quite a while,” he said at the time.
