Mike Vrabel, Dianna Russini Reportedly Made Request During 2021 Outing

Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini were seen renting a private boat together during the 2021 offseason, a TMZ Sports report confirmed.

The NFL head coach and the NFL insider were seen getting on a boat together in Tennessee. The two were on the boat for a couple of hours. According to a report from TMZ Sports, it was just them on the boat.

"TMZ Sports obtained the clip showing the pair together on the dock of a private rental company back in June 2021 … as the NFL coach and reporter prepared to head out onto a lake in Putnam County, TN," they reported.

"Russini walks ahead as the then-Titans head coach trails a few feet behind her. At one point, she turns around to talk to him, and it's very easy to see she was about 6-7 months pregnant at the time. Mike and Diana were dressed casually, in T-shirts and shorts, as they made their way toward the boat."

During the outing, Vrabel and Russini reportedly made some privacy requests, to those who witnessed what was happening.

Vrabel and Russini are both married - to different people, mind you - and the NFL insider was several months pregnant at the time. She gave birth to her firstborn son later that summer.

Vrabel and Russini reportedly asked those working to not post any photos to social media of the pair.

Vrabel was willing to take some photos - alone - while Russini was not photographed.

The two were reportedly "cautious" about pictures being taken during their private boat trip, according to TMZ Sports.

"Coach Vrabel wanted to enjoy a private weekend," TMZ Sports reported.

Of course, about five years later, everything is out in the public eye.
